His offence; indigent Alimajiri | Oluwaseun Shedrack Akodu

They had Jumat,
two Alimajiris, their cloth haggard
with poverty,sick with hunger;
still, they went for Jumat
on their journey, back to resume their begging job.
crossing the road; bike hits one and
lying helpless on the ground–

But, other beautiful Alfas and Al’hajs were
looking– those whom they just had Jumat
with –sprawling in the hands of death.

finally, an helper came. they took him
and left, left is the other Alimajiri.
Now the fellow worshippers laughed him.
His offence; indigent Alimajiri.
