POETRY: HOSTAGE OF COVID-19

Mankind!
In the 21st century
Has been held hostage by covid-19
The reality of our
Freedom remains flimsy
As accelerating attitudinal decay
Around the cardinal
Points of planet Earth
Is be young imagination?

We
The hostage of covid-19
Stranded in a limbo
None can escape
The reach of The supreme
Yamansarle Ginn wal Enns
Phanphujuu Latang Phujunah
Ela Besultany
Phabeyayee Aalarabikuma Tukagebanee…
Sons of
Adama and Eve
Covid-19 has held us hostage
The visible enemy
Visibly butchering Mankind
Like bush fire in hamattan
To emancipate from
The burden of its captivity
Is yet unanswerable
As no antidotes yet unfounded
The bottom has dropped out

Mangding Koleko
Kubila Katikang
Bintang Berekono Nyoboringwo
Nemake Luwola Diya Kangmah
Ekuwooh Lateyewoo
Esakewoo Kangma
Dunin Baluwotooh
silang Atutawolelah?

Covid-19

Thy captives are stranded
Lockdown measures
Within Balconies and Basements
Even on top of sky scrapers
Restriction on movements
Regular hands wash with detergents
Abandoning hand shakes
Are all desperate therapies
Pha Enamale Ysere Yusrang Enamale Yusere Yusrang

Ablution

Circumcision and FGM
AL Gusul (Janaba wash)
Mensuration
Sanitation und Goesundheit
Are meant for Human purification
Islamic Heritage
He who purifies shall prosper (Quran)
Ena Laha Taibung Layackbal Elataibung
Kul Enale… Manta… Anlagena Tampheruna
Mulaphekung… Sungmataraduna…
Ela… Alemule Kayebe… Wasahdate…
Phayuna Beokung
Bema Kungtuma Tamaluna?

Judgment

We the human race in the 21st century
Has been held hostage by covid-19
Where are the Armaments
In the name of Defense
Amassing of Wealth
When our Health is at Ramson
Shaggy dog stories are far too much
Gay and Lesbian Jokers
Human value has been reduced
To the extent of even animal
Are better off than the Mankind
Sah Ara Dingba in patiently awaits those evil doer
As declaration in the solemn pledge of call
In the Holy Quran

Bismellahe Rahman Raheem
Qul Huwa Ahlahu Ahadu Ahlahu Samad
Lamyaliid Walam Yakulahu Kuphuang Ahadu?
Wala Huwala Walakuwata Elabelahee
Lee Aleung Leeagemee?
Jalang Jalalang
Koribalikula Manso
Save Mankind against thy anger
Ameen! Ameen! Ameen!
