MASOYIYANA



Masoyiyana
You have a fine HeART.
Crest us on your breast.

Let the left hold memories,
of the good times we have shared.

Let the right bear our rotten history.

It was the right mind
to let your left hold the good memories,
for no one to be free to suck off our love on the left.

If you crest us on the right
Our love will be risked.
Everyone wants the right.

I trust you.
But how long can trust, continue to trust itself?

If they seek for your left,
right them to the right;
tell them of the fruits planted on it.

Let it burn their lips;
Let it sour in their mouth.

Note: MASOYIYANA is an Hausa word in Nigeria, meaning "My Love"
