THEME: ENSLAVED

MOHAMMED SHAMS-DEEN

TITLE: "Symptoms of Curse 

This plant was  dessert
Watered into forest of banquet
So our relatives trooped to tap necker
But when they slew the gardener
The tree that once welled juices of paradise 
Now fart petrified incense
And wilts from its branches.

Hear harmattan speaks of torture
Of our countrymen who ran into the mouth of turmoil. 
He brakes the news
That our brothers are lands
With whips drawing their contours.
Brothers, chained men sold like goods
Sisters in ropes stained with tears
Are books forcefully opened to write libido
They eat salt-water as breakfast
And air as supper.
Even some are corn roasted alive.

I thought the twilight was for sunrise
But it is of a mistaken sunset.

IBRAHIM YUSUF

Title: UNTITLED

In the Abyss of Slavery:
poor bird
feathers cut
thighs tied tight
life becomes sore
no way to fly
the sky is locked
the keys
are my broken feathers.
the earth is hell
no where to run
for my thighs are tied!
I'll keep chirping
till my voice
take me away of the abyss.
