Poem : Mr. late by:Hassan Idris


On that day thou will heist me and biff me just like we were accustomed to, but will still be speechless

With my breath truncated, eyes opened but close; can't see thou for thou will marvel what's wrong with me

With my hands weak, cold like an ice block that has been solidify and thou will burst into cry, exclaiming Mr. Late.

Thou will encapsulate the benovelence of mine and the malevolence, but please forgive me! For then, thou will be anxious to sight me, for I will be covered with white garment, for anew, thou will shed tears like a nursing mother nursing her dead baby,

 Afflictively will it be, seeing thou crying, but the truth is 'when the time is due, there's no addition nor deduction 'for we must all leave.
Hassan Idris writes from Benue, Nigeria

" I wish I could write "

“ I wish I could write “ I wish I could write for you, how the great Umar Yogiza's Pen flip up pages, portraying love and simplicity! I wish I could write how Maryam Gatawa’s ink, Pierced through my heart like the way a needle pierce through the hands of a man How Adamu Usman Garko's literary works, wakes the dead from the grave, unleashing them to sing 'Galala' to the amusement of his Pen I wish I could, I could write how Mujahid Ameen Lilo’s Pen, sings the melody of a caring brother washing away my sorrows I wish to write of Sulayman Ayub, how his Pen advocated humanity,and how it analysed the loop holes of this generation How Maryam Mayner's pen inspired my fallen soul, and how Sultie's Magical pen washes away my sorrows like Alomo bitter I wish I could be a writer, writing about humanity and creativity! © Hassan Idris July, 2019 Hassan Idris hails from kogi state, an Igala by tribe.

Meeting Kongi

"Meeting Kongi" To stand before you To be charmed by the comeliness of your white hairs Breathing in your green forest Swimming in the splendour of your light Chanting 'Happy birthday Kongi' My hand taking in your hand  That scribbled Nobel deserving works And presenting this over to you Is my dream coming alive. For I know I will emerge With streaks of your light Guiding me when I set forth at dawn On my journey on the Pen Path. ©Mujahyd Ameen Lilo Read at Wole Soyinka's birthday in his home. Mujahyd Ameen Lilo, a secondary school student from  Kano, is the regional winner of WSICE.
