A traveler’s window report of the socio-political landscape
from Funtua to Gusau.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funtua to Gusau
From horizon to horizon
Carpets of Masara, dusts of
rice
Spots of high baobab compete
with pylon.
Shades of green blend within
the rise
Na gode Allah for the rains.
Twin baobabs pity others
fallen and grey.
Time for rally; donkeys’
parade, cattle’s graze
Kids on camels, kings in
Lexus – sharia tray.
Sai Aso rock! They screech …
“we can’t see
Goats tied to sticks on
streets,” they say!
Illegal mining in near
distant hills,
White stones and shiny
diggers blaze
Drop your googles, site the
fields
Ba theory, Ba Malomo da 34 minerals
craze:
Map the majors, sell them …
leave fringes.
Human tractors sow with
heels,
Sai yoked oxen weeding
(grazing) non-rest.
Women in boulders weave up
cane reels.
Sai technology at her
primitive best.
Who’s provoking heroes in
future graves!
