Happy Mauluud Nabiyy! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

It could never be more coincidental
Neither is it accidental
These sequential holidays
Coming just in few days
Although, we know there are controversies
Here, and very much everywhere, all overseas
Nonetheless, life continues non-stop
Regardless of where ever we stay as a bus-stop
Today, we remember the birth of a great prophet
His noble works are uncountable and not in a bracket
He preached the goodwill
But today we are left at our will
His ways and ideals were for peace to reign
Now, their interpretations are desires to take the reign
A century and a half years ago, this great man changed everything
He taught us to worship only Him, the creator of everything
If we remember him today
It is not that we do not remember him every other day
The plea is that we follow exactly his tenets
Although we are bound to see through different nets
Our collective goal is to make the garden
But let us not destroy flowers made for the garden

HAPPY MAULUUD NABIYY TO ALL MUSLIMS! ! !
