Rise My North! Poet, Zainab Faruk Abdulkadir Jega

 

I have a voice

I write to be heard

You’ve melted me

Yet I’m solid

I am unstoppable

I play with words

You can’t stop me darling

You own no such power

Sometimes I’d walk,

walk far from home,

The things I’ve seen

The land green

Unripe

Thick forests

Trees in circles

Branches stretched

Leaves spread

The shade

The smell

Uhmmn optimism

Somethings are worth sighting

The things I’ve seen

and I alone.

The land green

Blessed Nigeria.

They are everywhere

Yes

Taking over

Rise North

We are so lazy

They are ready to work at 6am

Leaving us behind

They are always looking forward to

Rise Northerners

They are diligent

We have indolent habits

Lets be smart not slack

Else

Well prostrate before them

A day

We’ll live not to see

Massage

Arewa girls I want you to know
We are unstoppable
Nobody should break us and let us believe that our place is just in the house.
We should learn to do more
We shouldn’t allow marriages stop us from achieving our dreams
We should learn to stay determined and achieve our goals no matter what
