Smuggler's Boat
Migrants on the move from violence
their only possession
breath-space on a smuggler’s boat
secured with back-bent harvests
in pretzel-bent systems
weight of crates of strawberries
hoisted on hell-bent backs
just trying to reach Spanish-shores’-east
from Moroccan beach with a...

it penetrates all ways of life
all borders, all villages & towns---

Bottle Dance
BOTTLE DANCE
Across my land, abysses gnaw at automobiles,
From the foot of the mountain,
To the shores of the oil fountain.
Certificated youths drinking piss to mellow their brains,
Clutching at wheels, dodging bumps into fog lights.

She False Me, She False Me Not
As time flies, so her emotion swiftly fries,
As life frowns to dust, so her affection swiftly drowns to lust,
As love turns to coal, so her smile swiftly runs to the cold,
As sunset sets away, so...

Gods Children
-Evocation-
The thunderous sound cut through the building
The deafening blast shaking its very foundation –
I jumped awake, in agonizing trepidation
And sat up in bed, my chest pounding.
There was calm, a surreal stillness.
I appraised my room’s mess
And...

Is There Still Hope
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...

Every fountain has wealth embedded in its waters
Each mountain, sealed by...

The Blood of Martyrs
The Blood of Martyrs
“He stood aloof the Negro youth
What of his future?”

When the guns thunder
In Cameroon or Côte-d’Ivoire
In Mali or Burkina Faso
Limitless martyrs

Beads of blood still pearling
Running from the martyrs’ hot bodies

Peace Corps
Two women in their twenties
Were conversing where I sat.
They chatted ‘bout their lives,
A little this, a bit of that.
But one thing that I overheard
Sure made me pay attention,
For entering the Peace Corps
Was one woman’s planned...

Of Terrors and Men
(TO THE VICTIMS OF WAR IN MY NATIVE
CAMEROON AND IN NORTHERN NIGERIA)
Giants

The FAR North

Heavy weapons
Connected on a
Barren land
Communicating
As from satellites,
Techniques and
Outfits of
The expedition
They got THERE
Thundering,
Murdering,
Raping,...

Warrior
Born in Ivory Coast
but never would I boast.
Raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo
playing the bongos, but couldn’t make it my logo.
On a quest from east to west,
I made Cameroon my nest.

The Coming
It is coming
Slowly, gradually
But as sure as
The next
Dawn rises
On the
Eastern horizon
Something bad
Comes this way.
Beware of the
Calm, before
The
Storm.
The pitiful screams
From the abattoirs
Of those
Born in the
Genetic labs
Have reached a
Crescendo
The chimeras
Rebel.
Beware of the
Calm, before
The
Storm.
The multitudinous
Spewed from the
Wombs for
Reasons,...

AS LONG AS THE WIND STILL BLOWS
As long as the wind still blows
His words will still reecho
In the dreams we forget when we wake
In the thoughts that dip and surface.
"Africa must unite
We have the resources
We have the manpower
Only unity remains"
These words...

Why They Came To Africa
Like the burglar thats attracted by money,
like the thug that’s paid to kill,
so they got enticed by our gold, our diamond and our oil.
so they came to steal, to kill and to destroy us.

Land of beauty and grace.

With hearts that beat as one.

Beneath the African blue skies.

Reporters waiting at the blocked off air- strip,

Around the world in his hot air balloon,
