Joseph Jeremiah Naye Poet Epic

Sardauna of Sokoto

The Sardauna, the prince
 Champion of the masses
 The leader of the North
 The defender of the realm
 Princely yet accessible

 The Prince Royal
 The north your realm
 Though tribe and tongues duffer
 You still make the difference 

 Portrayed as a northern zealot
 Of the scion of Usman Dan Fodiyo
 Royal turbans in purple array
 A great thinker and visionary
 
 Achievements so colossal and huge
 Colloquial rantings so high yet can't 
 be denied
 Institutions still blazing the trail
 Posterity have seen your travails 
The Sardauna, the Northern Prince

 Decades have come and gone
 None in the northern realm holds your sway
 Selflessness your true identity
 Legacies intact, history made
 Posterity the true judge
 None have your charisma
 Nor your impeccable persona
 Those that took after you have all 
 gone astray
 Going after the god of mammon

 They are all pretenders
 To the crown of your realm
 With trending events these past decades
 There is none in the realm that holds your 
 sway.
 The Sardauna the Northern Prince
