Poem
I beseech thee to answer Is there still hope??? Forgetting their vows of chaste they become lecherous Fighting for power, they become ambitous. Their actions make people shock For they forget why they put on the cassock. Respect for God, our clergies no longer have But so greedy with the things they have. They make not, benedictions to empty pockets But go for the rich to enrich themselves. Churches are now business centers for money Clergies bless only those who make the offertory box full. SO BROTHER, IS THERE STILL HOPE?? They stand as if pious to duty But pious are they, to money. They check not the motor But go for “500frs” which is their motto. They can be seen standing with zeal Hands stretch, they stand still First, they stamp After collecting bribe, they champ SO SISTER, IS THERE STILL HOPE?? The rich live mysteriously And enjoy themselves like angels While the poor live in mysery And die because of negligence. TO YOU, IS THERE STILL HOPE?? Embezzlement in Cameroon is a virtue It is practised in all offices Thieves go in broad daylight unscathed While the innocent ones are caught and they cant fight. My country is said to be democratic But elections have never been smooth For a score and ten, the president has stayed in power Using deceit and the gun to rule. IS THIS HOW IT SHOULD BE?? Virgins have now liquidated themselves They prefer being ravishe. Whores, they become in quest for money; My black girls don’t like their colour They strive to be whites Thus, monsters they become in a bid to peel their skin Very few believe in “black is beauty.” Brothers copulate sisters While fathers copulate daughters. IS THERE STILL HOPE? " 1st price, poetry contest, poemsclub.com, April 2014"
