Hero of Mine

Munzali Abdullahi Ahmed 1985 (Kano)

Free verse
Oh my hero
is it you hem in by chains like a traitor
battle-field is conducive
for your followers to win
though they try to do so
but the result is inaccessible
Is it because they are amateur NO
with determination anything is possible
It is because those in high ranks
reject their helping hands
