By Fauziyya Umar Madawaki
Knocking on doors every day and every moment looking for friends or enemies to take them on their last journey
I am the strange visitor who is loved by friends and hated by enemies
Greet friends, hug them gently, and curse enemiesĀ
I am a comfort to the sick and a nuisance to the healthyĀ
Look for some of them ready to meet me and others notĀ
separate the loved ones, not because I want to, but it is my work and I relieve the world from the hatersĀ
There is no escape from me together in life and deathĀ
This is me, the strange visitor.
Fauziyya Umar Madawaki is of Kano Capital Girls Secondary School, Kano.
