Sokoto Town

The clicks the wind makes,
The sound of cars driving pass,
The rumble of desires, colliding with lack,
The look of hungry desperate, depression.

The farmers did farm, they laugh last but for a while,
Killings trading in the markets like gold,
The calloused marketing of the soul,

I notice the Almajiri and the woman driving a Jeep,
I see the man giving in to circumstances,
The red face of the earth, the fair move of the solar,

Sokoto people and their merchants,
The North calling for Justice, for the women bent back picking, from the slums to eat,
Walking barefooted afraid for the suckling on her laps.

The clear sky’s and the gray clouds,
The cry of creative kids roaming, aimlessly on a Monday morning,
The lazy feet’s of strong healthy males selling out.

Why am I even here,
In this very quieting un-challenging surface?
No sound for a thirsty poet,
No swagger for a needy romantic
No proper upheaval that ascends the poor.

For the hungry though I will stay,
For the sake of Light, I will follow,
And for a kingdom come I will remain,
Chasing inspiration, exuding deliverance, speaking change, loving the unlovable, being grace and giving hope.

    My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and
    am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?

    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to
    my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed
    the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
    pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours nowadays,
    yet I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours.
    It is pretty worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners
    and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet might be much more useful than ever before.

    you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is great, let alone the content!

    This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader
    amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job.
    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
    how you presented it. Too cool!
