ARROGANT SHADOW
(i)
He always taste sugar with me
As for honey both we share
In the hereafter we dwell
We winds together as partner
We enjoy the visit of moon and sun
We count the stars and we dust the cloud
He is my shadow my friend
Whenever there is eat to eat
I call him to eat with me
He alone wash the plate
He bath me in the morning night
He wash my cloth and dress me
I sent him to do my dirty things
To piss and to shit for me
(ii)
It was on July
I heard my call with power and authority
From my Maker my Creator my God
It was my time to go on journey
Which all living soul in hereafter go
Abraham Muhammed Jesus names you know
They all taste the journey and witness
I am not happy to leave
Obedient you must follow
I call on my shadow it is time
To taste the journey and witness
Oh! My master my friend
Earth never I go with you
He lament and begins to tales
The stars will be too high for you to count
Sun and Moon never walk together on earth
Once they do there will be eclipse
You will not see a wind to touch
Thou will never seize a rain not to wet a ground
The birds will talk to you
You will not hear to help thee
The Rats the Dogs will do the same
Thou will never listen to them
Mosquitoes will beg for a little blood
You will take his life with anger
For the journey I need to go
Will you follow I asked my shadow
(iii)
In a woman womb I begin my journey
Good nine month I dwell alone with pains
Am not tall rather short am not
With power and authority I form a whitish liquid
Shot into a woman belly
These is the roughest road man has ever trodden
I become a satellite going round and round
In these woman belly pains is my comfort
Though she is beautiful and ate a good food that gives me nutrient
Good nine month without my arrogant shadow
Am starving am captive am weak and tired
Immediately I was release from the woman belly
I cry for one journey has been witness
Me alone without my arrogant shadow
I see my shadow when I thirsty for water
Drinking water with me without a journey
He never obey me anymore
I cant sent him he will never go
But if I go he will go with me
If I sleep he will sleep also
If I eat he eat also
He never happy with my journey
He lost his light on these journey
That makes him look dark whenever he goes
