KILLING OF CONGOLESE FROM 1885
No one is hated more
than he who speaks the truth
- Pluto
as Belgian officers
cut off legs and hands
Of innocent Congolese
from 1885, king Leopold II smiled,
the victims of atrocities cried,
many Belgians applauded
to encourage murderers.
The world was so silent
seeing the murders
Of Millions of Congolese.
The International Criminal Court still silent
As if the animals were killed...
Not millions of human beings.
The truth must continue to be told
for repairs in D.R.Congo.
When I think of certain kings and patriotic leaders
Who were killed like animals
because they did not want to bow to the invaders.
My great great grandfather king Mussabwa Kamango
was also killed in Uvila during the colonial regime.
If the ICC was a fair international criminal court
I wished to speak publicly about the problem
of the assassination of the king of Bavila
by the Belgian government.
Yeah ! speechless
because there is no where to start.
Difficult to trust the court which
was created to protect
certain nations.
many people are afraid to tell the truth
thinking to be killed by some folks
who hate to hear the truth
about their atrocities.
I think of the family of the late
king Mussabwa Kamango
to be heard internationally.
After losing the head of their family
and nation
many things have gone wrong
due to perturbation of
Leopold II and other
westerners in the
colonial regime.
