Kaduna

Looking over the balcony of my sculpted,
storied building, I sit content,
taking in the balmy, breezy air, 
soaking in the scenery of this famed
destination
The camaraderie on the ancient streets, 
the smiles, the banter; 
Ina kwana? (how was your night?)
Ina gejiya! (hope it was restful?)
Barka da zuwa! (welcome back)
 
I am proud of the city's diversity; 
the clasping of hands, the curtsies,
the fashion, the blend of cultures,
of peoples and destinies!
This is the liberal state!
