President
Don’t be like that elephant that caused the infants
to slaughter one another indifferent to its posterity
he lifted the corrupt dropped the ripe and bullied
the resolute warrior
don’t be like the idiot hunter who kept his living prey
alive and aside to quench his thirst while being wildly
murdered to go free
don’t be like that desert warrior who shunned the son
believed to be ambitious with no honor in spite of his
valor approved by all but who turned to close all doors
to Dad running
don’t rely on griots foolish talks taking the kingdom as
a product of your wisdom when your breaking bones to
resting are begging
will you be wise enough to grasp Camus not walking
in front nor behind but sitting beside to help do with fair
choices of the people?
That will be your absolution here.
PS: read the poem “Those who read for” to complete your reading
