The Road to Agadez

Memoirs

By Jibrin Umar Published 3 years ago 1 min read

The first step's the hardest

A step to be taken regardless

The night is dark and the road untarred

The destination is filled with opportunities abound

But the road to agadez is hazy and brown

Strutting through the sweltering heat of the sahara

With nothing but dunes in sight

The say God's earth is green. But the road to agadez is brown, gloomy and dry

Sweet, sweet agadez, the home of camel cheese and dates

How I anticipate your warmth and hospitality

But the road to agadez is hazy and brown

The hardship to meet reach you is abound

Regardless, I shall reach you with gait..
