Poem

Where houses sing and dance 

Come to my city and see
Houses sing and dance in festivals
Buildings dance Ndobolo*, twisty 
Bumping in style and singing reggae
Clapping hands in joyful rhythm
And whistling with the winds
All day and all night
In every hill and valley

Come to my city and see
Houses waking up every morning
Without washing faces and legs
Without brushing their teeth
But enjoying the kiss of pure sewerage
Whenever tears roll from above
And crazily snake to destiny
Yes, here houses wave good bye to the world
As they gallop to work-places
 
Come to my city and see
Swarms of beetles, tortoises, buffaloes
In a cold war, crawling side by side
Spying suspiciously on one another
For espionage and sabotage
As they trap and get trapped
All day and all night 
In this city of many questions

Hearts whisper messages of wonder
The rain that falls sweeps aside hope 
Whirlwinds that blow confirms the chaos
Every sunrise the story is the same
Here in this city of many hills
Where houses sing, whistle
And dance Ndobolo

*Ndobolo is a famous Congolese dance
