Rubaba Mmahajia Rahma Sabtiu Poems

Listen! Listen! Listen!
Listen to my words
And not to my voice
For silvery is my voice
...

In one night
A few steps into the fortnight
I had prayed to the Light
Needing His Might
...

Come
Yes, you!
Come and sit with me
Near the window
...

The jumpings in my heart
In my little hut
Possessing my mind
A man of a kind
...

In my eyes is a tear
A mixture of pain and fear
In my mind
A surprise of a kind
...

The vice of the soul is ignorance
The virtue of the soul is knowledge
But what happens when knowledge benefits not the knowledgeable?
What happens when the knowledgeable become culprits
...

One morning
I took a shower
I dressed up
Ready to begin the day
...

She walked down the isle
Gracefully, as many said
Ravishing, sexy, daring
Many among the people thought
...

You are sad
Because it is a girl
You hide yourself
You cannot stand the shame
...

In our ears
The sound of music
The singers sing on
From stages up high
...
