GANJA by Jamiu Ahmed



GANJA

I have a dream:

Of growing wider wings
An angel praising our father 
Only thou art in heaven 
Till thy king's-doom come. 

Bobo, “pass me the lighter”
Let me set my eyes ablaze 
Watch them burn to incense
A moment in royal highness.

If I got burnt in the process 
Don't mourn my sudden death 
I have risen up with the flames 
To join other custodian angels.

Tomorrow my ashes will grow 
Into another hopeless weeds.
