Baskadia

What next

by muhammmad Ibrahim Alata

Is this the end of road,

Now that thou want to drop thy pen?

Do thou need to be told,

That gains come after pen?

Not all pens bring "paper"

Is what empty Calabash sings

But few of empty Calabash brings "paper"

And what lesson have we from thy songs?

Not yet enough knowledge fed,

We had just but a sip,

And so the jug need not be paused,

It's another chance! Let set the sail the ship.

Lo! Let count not the past pain

But look forward for the Forthcoming gain.
