Youth: Hope Of The Fatherland?
Youth, are you really the hope of the fatherland? Then, to the fate of this land you are bound If you're really the hope of the fatherland Then, don't just try to sink other's feet below ground Don't just try to do worthless things when no one's around The sun on the east is already high Try...

Fatherland
FATHER LAND Think not to impress her with cheap words, nor with tactics of a teenage boy, hoping to see the conquest of a glamazon. To sniff her fragrance, is to break through an army. nothing but a feat of derring-do. Formed in the fiercest of fire, she is emerging, from the merry-go-round. Only the qualified, pilots her affairs henceforth. the gloves are coming off. To serve is...

Inside My Fatherland
Very funny how it is easy to be lonely in a city of millions Very Crazy how it all goes from bustling and noisy To killing the night in a cold-blooded silence The night becomes so silent The beat of my heart screams louder Than a pregnant woman in labour At a General Hospital with no electricity...

To My Fatherland: Ambazonia
There was never a land sweeter than Bamenda Nor a land so full of honey: Buea Full of a consanguineous race A people garnished by love and commensurateness A people though battered to smithereens Never for once have cast adrift their rectitude There was never a land so full of stoicism like Bamenda Though maimed, have never wept Though battered, have never laid...

For Fatherland
For Fatherland In a country to near the Arctic Circle every new generation -men and women- had to throw pebbles into a lake, until the lake was full and you could wade over, Alas, a bridge was built, so futile the pebbles. Now they are learning how to throw a hand grenade in Afghanistan and draw funny pictures of Mohammad, pity about...

My Fatherland Is a Sinking Sand
The future farmers are begging for bread, I see their seed sinking in the sea of sorrow, our elders are behind, no one to follow. On the pillow of pain hope lays his head. Tomorrow is gone; it died in the past. Today is filled with mess and mysteries, yesterday is not found in our histories... We are swimming in this stormy...

Fatherland
Fatherland I have no home, no fatherland, I am a soldier with no weapons, No worldly goods can tie me down, My paths lead me into distances grey. Trenches are my bed, The starry skies of the universe Will cover me when nights are cold. I shall write invisible letters On clouds of cigarette...

In My Fatherland
Flowers of peace are now magnificently blossoming In the gardens of the battlefields of Khartoum and Kinshasa. And roses of tranquillity and order slowly blooming In the flower pots of Kigali’s sorrowful genocide cites. The smoke of dead gun-fire still flies In the skies of the outskirts of Monrovia and Abidjan. But live sporadic gunfire persistently lightens In the troubled skies...
