Harmattan is the dry season in Africa <br />In the North the mallams <br />Are covered in dust <br />Bowing their heads over <br />They tell the beads to Allah <br />The cattle are led south <br />Nearing the Sudan <br />Herdsmen will take no chances <br />The grass is greener there <br />And there is moist <br />While they wait for the rains <br />They must manage the available.<br /><br />samuel nze<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/north-african-dry-wind/
