 A cold dusty morning

The North East trade wind blowing violently

Bringing its harvest from the harsh Sahara desert

Floatable objects gliding with different bearing

Trees waving in this chaotic scenery

Automobiles moving swiftly across the Clayey soil

Kids running to Makaranta to avoid the impending thunderstorm

A skinny figure perched on a boulder

Brownish unkempt hair

Dry lips littered with conspicous blisters

Rough parched skin telling your years of residency on the streets

Oblivious to nature's warning signals

Existence fixed on the Makaranta kids

Tear drops forming a white sea in your eyes

Miserable macrocosm

Seeking transcendental intervention

Yousoufa! 

A comrade beckoned 

Trudging slowly to escape the floodgates from heaven

A second glance at the Makanranta kids

Salty liquid streaming down over your face

Wondering in an alternate galaxy

A celebrated scholar you are

An angelic smile

Saadi tapped your shoulder

Smile vanished into nothingness

Cruel reality

An unjust cosmos

Makaranta:-School in Hausa language.
