My heart

Wasili Muhammad 1982 (Maiduguri Metropolitan Council of Borno State)



My heart makes me hasty                                                    

I have ruined my heart

It’s like a lion in battle

Make me a slave

In saint of my sincere

Throw me far

Force me to fight

Like a soldier

A slave of emperor

Whose general overleaf a war

Once a hero mounted to move up

Whiny of Calvary gallop ahead

Slave can’t show back in the old days

My heart burning a volcano

Crown can’t be comely in coward head

Head that blink in eye of death

Captain of captured ship

In heavy stormy rain

Brave heart with bloody broadly body

Have no fear fight for fair

Combat like a cobra

With glad gladiolus heart of gladiator

My heart makes me happy

About this poem

Myself inspiration that can't beat the reach!
