Best Sierra Poems

South province where Mattru jong is located!
    
Intriguing issues as a young boy!
    
Escaped from drugs and the war!
   
Rebels – They don’t agree with the government and think    everyone is the enemy!

The camping life is all we need to cherish a vacation
The low stretched arms of mountains, spread, have called for our attention 
Our summer place, serene and free, no worries in our backpacks
No need to vent, just take a breath, to relish lodge-pole scent

My children...

Sierra Leone
Imagine being a kid
Running for your life 
Behind you explodes a bomb
Feet splash in mud, 
Diamonds hidden in your teeth
Rightfully yours
This is your home
Everything about this equation is wrong

De Beers
Imagine troops pushing maids carts
Full of  Diamonds in a glass case
Your five senses breathe...

Mountain flowers bloom
on sunlight dappled hillside-
my spirit rests...

Would one want to attempt to claim
The land atop these mountains?
Or just enjoy the view from afar
And play in the lakes and fountains?

Although some would agree
That is not worth the time and patience
But who are they to decide one’s fate?
They are not your masters or...

End the grief and pain
End the tears and shame
We did suffered in the hands of the rebels so we forght for peace to reign
Our future was locked up by them
Our steps were measured like witches
The killings and destructions were too much,so I walk through this...

Shy at first until I know you.
  I love to talk even when no one is listening. 
    Enjoys to read and write even when I have a writer's block.
      Reads too much for my own...

Bad, worse and worst we grow, oh poor Sierra Leoneans
We seem to know our rights, but honestly we do not;
Instead we misunderstand them:
How can we fight for our rights against one who defends them?

Our situation is escalating to its peak.
We are damn harming ourselves, and...

Successful is what I long to be
I am proud of what accomplishments I have made
Everyone says to write a story of my life
Really is life this hard for all?
Ready, for a challenge that I can try
Always trying to stay positive even in times of struggles

Clueless...

Oh my Sierra Leone!
The only land that I own,
I pledge to thee, to bring peace, love, development and unity,
Sadly I act for my interest without any loyalty.

I betray each and every promise to thee I made,
Skinning thy people whom I opted to aid.
I know even...

This is the news
about a fox in a box,
a hare so slim so short and thin 
on the prowl
the fox lets out a howl his tummy starts to growl
he begins his hunt
with a big grunt
he started to stare 
with a big glare
So scarce so scared...

Lover of animals, books, and writing
Who feels love, excitement, and happiness
Who fears clowns, death, and heights
Who would like to see Germany, Hawaii, and Florida

Madame Sierra
if you think you can have another man, on the side;
Then it's off with you, then you and you friend need to go bye-bye-bye-bye;
Don't shed a tear in front of me;
I'll give you know sympathy, my, my, my
As you cry, cry, cry;
You're unfaithful, you're...

I almost lost you in July 
I'm glad you're here
If you do not return
I don't know what I do
Felt so empty
Without you near .
My heart could not bear
 The thought of losing 
You my friend . 
Anxiety kicks in
As the days  go by 
I...

I pause to listen to the silence –
I am one with the million befores
and the afters and at great peace 
amid the soundless, immense harmonies.

I become the rhythm of the spheres
and part of that oneness orchestration,
both absorbed and apart in a light,
too orderly to be...
