SOMETIME I FEEL LIKE SHOUTING---WAKATI FULANI NATAKA KUPIGA KELELE-


katika mwanga wa jua-
hata katika mvua
Bwana nataka kupiga kelele jina lako
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
again, again and again
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
again and again
Lord I feel like lifting you up in praise
Oh, Lord feel like lifting you up in praise
Again all day always...just want to shout out your name
in the sunshine-
even in the rain
Lord I feel like shouting your name
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
again and again
Again all day always...just want to shout out your name
in the sunshine-
even in the rain
Lord I feel like shouting your name
For you suffered for me with your strips I am free;
Savior you died for me
And in the darkness, in the pain
Lord I feel like shouting your name
God the Father, your Son Jesus came and washed away my sins
Lord I feel like shouting your name
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
again and again
katika mwanga wa jua-
hata katika mvua
Bwana nataka kupiga kelele jina lako
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;
again, again and again
Sometimes I feel like shouting, Lord I feel like shouting your name;

Proposal of uncertain morrow


What if insurgency or killings last longer than necessary 
What if none of the government is involved
What if it is through external influence 
What if they are bound to occur 

What if all  Boko Haram actions are not of emissary
What if they are not been dissolved 
What if it doesn't  to any affluence
What if none turns a cur 

What if Bandits never exist
What if more lives got lost through other means
What if the constitution don't address resolution 
What if there is no room for punishment 

What if Kidnapping persist 
What if it can be traced to genes 
What if ransom increases elocution
What if it is recognized as an ancient

What if Fulani herdsmen killings continues
What if the farmers succumb 
What if the acts bring peaceful night 
What if the more thanks the more trouble
 
What if Oil bunkering stops
What if poverty crumb
What if all Barrels are tight
What if no barrel makes rubble

If all these have been ravaging
Should we all agree
If all these have truly being
Won't it be better we rule by decree?

Fulani's Philosophy

Haiku I mean
because
life is a mystery

sky is clear
and serene

one draw

these grasshoppers-
I want to pass
I want to smile

may be love
is hand to mouth
or may be we eat
to live
or may be we live to eat

because here is domestic-
even cowards
are our brothers

because I can't sleep
anyhow, nothing is scarce
rather it goes through

before me is a thought
in letters and words-
others are mode, mean and median

and still others are bound around

wisdom is a reason-
here, between ends
of a bridge

and even among
houseflies butterflying
around

nods? are but words
of body gestures
a crocodile lamenting

and courting or something

tonight case may be
different, may be tough
I fear flies

and see tomorrow is an
election day
oh! my head and heart!

may be next season
fire may be abundant
in vitamins

I digest two morsels
of favourite food

did I wink to
right or left?
after all I am taking precautions

isn't it?

this station here
smoke rising
in snow and wind

like a privatization
of facial expressions
hark and damn?

I think everybody
is free? and everything?
toast to me twas?

I think we will 
leave here for Malabu?
isn't it?

something is a dream
in wings of east and west
isn't it?...

some haikus to fancy
weather of rainbow
may I blow my nose? and brush my teeth?.

African Rhythm

I am....
An Ashanti warrior A Bantu dancer 
I am a Yoruba royal clothed in my Asooke 
Dancing Adowa and kpalogo to tunes from wulomei and masekela  

I am proud Masai 
Standing around manyattas, 
Jumping to melodies from the olaranyani
Eunoto is here and today I dance in front my peers in transition into a senior warrior 

Oh how sweet the African rhythms 
Imprudently lifting and soul soothing 
Sisala sebrew on Akan drums 
Highlife explorations unending on opus 1. 

I am an Ewe woman 
From the lineage of Nerfetiti 
And a great great ....grand daughter of Nandi 
My Gèle will never fall off 
My Dashiki will never fade out

I am a Fulani herdsman 
Wandering the Sahel plains of Africa 
Along with a fellow Malinke brother
Who speaks fluent igbo and today we revisit our roots in Nok 

I’m from Gao 
320 km east-southeast of Timbuktu. 
A descendant of Sonni Ali ,
Reciting the epic of Sundiata with intertwining soothing kora melodies from Kandia Kouyate 

Oh how dazzling the African landscape 
And glorious it's Heritage 
Such rekindling and Homeric folklores 
And a boundless diverse cultures 

I am the African dream 
mother's only son my father’s only daughter 
I'm the incantations of royal fetish and message behind the talking drum 

I am the African noble 
Free from identity torment 
I know of my glorious past and my colourful future 
My city will bleed no more 
Never again will i be a wanderer 

I know my culture 
And my alluring language 
Ah how powerful the African names
Araba Termytorphe and Ifedayo chant in unity 
Diallo Sissoko and Achiaa bestow serenity 

Mbali and Lamisi elegantly wore their kente 
Tonight we dance to tunes from the kete 
For Yaa Asantewaa never gave up the fight 
So we lift our hearts with emancipated minds 
To reach new heights ! O’ Nana Nyame,
May you forever guide us with your light .
