“TWO TRIBUTARIES” WRITTEN BY ABU ABDULKADIR – ONE OF TEN FINALSITS -TONY TOKUNBO FERNANDEZ POETRY COMPETITION

TWO TRIBUTARIES

Ladidi! Ladidi!
A poet and his pen
Two entities
Can forge the earth
Into a rolling piece

Ladidi! Ladidi!
It takes living and dieying
Two mysterious mathematics
To bring the world to originality

Ladidi! Ladidi!
When the earth runs famished
It costs a grain and will
Two sacrifices
To lure it back to normalcy

Ladidi! Ladidi!
It takes pains and victories
Two distinct stories
To build ponds of histories

Ladidi! Ladidi!
It takes me and you
Two tributaries
To make a sea
Richer than the pacific

Ladidi! Ladidi!
