.:Ballad of ibn Abdilahi:. �

this kid
of 15 seasons
they say he
had his reasons

they say him
homesick for the homeland
and

his moms & great-grands
and

him
thinking
better sorry
than faking safe

what a waif

stowed away
belly of a jetliner
saying �gotta go�
cause Africa
me alone
�gotta find her�

dude,
with little food
him saying him
fed up with Cali

him rather chow down
somewhere
close to Mali

could it really be �that� bad?
makes me kinda
sad

so I pen'd this poem
though don�t know �em
but I think; �
what a
willful -lad
