 THE NEW STUDENT

Saw a new face today,

     As silent as could be and,

   Never knew their name.

THE WEIRD WOODS

Green day in the woods.

Creeping me out as it stays

Standing tall and proud.

A WORLD OF GAMES

A world of games,

Football shall not hide away,

Stars shining in the sky.

Moths go flying by

Now close the window boy

So they don't come in

BE HAPPY

I love being happy,

Going to sleep in a flash 

The sun will shine.

MORNING

The sun is shining       

                     A beautiful morning

                     Flowers are blooming

                                       Swabah Abdirahman.

                             

ONE DAY I'LL BE A THIEF

THAT ONE MYSTERY THAT MAKES US WHOLE

And some she just enchains in her cage

KILL ME TOO

What satisfaction is it we seek in destruction?

 The green that freshes the air I breathe,

Towering green that haven melodies of the birds,

The flora that defines the green of my flag,

If I wake up one morning and find it all gone,

Do not hesitate, kill me too!

The swash and backwash of the streams of life,

Droplets that quench, yet still homes the fish,

Those turbulent forces of water brown and blue,

If I wake up one morning and find it all dry,

Speak no word, kill me too!

The jungle chorale! A rhythm of the wild,

Where predators and prey strive to survive,

My land’s pride, the fauna…Owimoweh!

If I wake up one morning and find it all dead

Waste no time, kill me too!

All these creative artwork of the One above,

They pleases thine eyes and saves thy lives,

What satisfaction is it we seek in destruction?

If I wake up one morning, find’em down and dead;

Sing me a dirge; then kill me too!
