Poetry from Almustapha Umar

*WORLD OF SIGH* 

My life isn’t a misery, yet pain engluts my heart and sadness have my mind captive,

sympathy lenses my eyes

The screams of souls haunts my ears, yet I do follow in the chase not like hound but one that fills up the cry.

Soothing the wounded heart,

Yet screams of anguished souls crushed me in chains of darkness 

My eyes search for light,

Beguiling none of his tears,

For the distressful stroke of calamity 

That the land suffered, I gave their pain a world of sigh.

                   Borno
