I woke up today and the first thing that came to mind was to go to my steemit account and this particular write-up stroke my mind. I am aware that pidgin is not allowed here but what could have been a better way to write this poetry than this.
This is the post

I was taught how pidgin came about and you must understand that is no man language but is acceptable everywhere but most people think and you take a glance at it here but I will try and interpret the poem for everybody hearing and please follow the trend and here you can check how pidgin.
This the post link

Baba God,no be say na disturb I disturb you ,
Na question I want ask You
Cos e don tey wen I de wait
So tey e be like say my faith want fade.
Abeg, when my time go come?

Almighty God is not like as I want to disturb You
But I want to ask questions
It has been a while I have waited
To the extend my faith begins to fade
Please, when will my time come?

I don go wedding tire,
But I never marry
I attend occasion tire
But I never make merryment
Baba have mercy
If my question don de lack weight

I have attended almost all weddings
But I am yet to get marry
I have tired of attending occasion
But I am yet to experience joy
God have mercy
If my question has began to annoy you.

Patient dog,dem say de eat fattest bone
But I never eat mine since I born
Baba ansa on time,
And tell me when my time go come?

I am aware the patient dog eat the fattest bone
But I am yet to eat mine since the day I came to this earth
God answer promptly
Let me know when my time will arrive.

E don tey when I waka from getto to kpako,
De tummble hustle for jungle
While my paddy dem de jolly for Yankey
Baba God na beg I de beg,
When my time go come?

Ages now I have trek with bare toes
From street to mouth
While my mate are in the United States
God please
When will my time come?

My employment na always come tomorrow
Sotey my faith sef don de narrow...
Dem say tomorrow go beta
But e be like say for dis mata,
Wata don de pass garri.

My employment result is always check back tomorrow
To the extend my faith has dropped
Better days ahead
In this particular situation
Water is more than the garri.

Baba wen my time go come?
Time to fly higher;
Blow like Timaya,
Break record like Obama
And win like Rima?

God when will my time come?
Time to excel
Make in life like Timaya
Make history like Obama
And everyday is to win.

Baba when my time go come?
When my cash out go blow me
Top the table every season
I no be one season lady.

God when will my time come?
When my money will me known
Be on the throne
Because I can never be on the sideline.

I don tire to hear grace when you ask people how you take make am for life
Baba God show me the way forward
It is what it is @steem-ghana.

When I ask people to show me the real way but you will hear statement like this, it is grace
God let you ways be known
Keeping it real on @steem.

What God can't do does not exist, na people slogan
When my time go come that every post I go dey make dem dey upvote?
Posting na moi-moi but na the upvote

What God can not don't exist is for the majority
When will my time come that every post I make is a topnotch
Posting is simple but the upvote is always found wanting.

I have been able to analyze the poetry work to my best knowledge and make it readable to everybody but remember the remix can never be like the original version.
