Why Loving Them

" Living love is better than prophecying love "
Quote by poet

Why loving them? 
loving them more 
comfort them 
As they have generational fear.
Always think about the revenge 
Of the good people they ill-treated for centuries. 
President Cyril  Ramaphosa once said in Senegal," 
We are here today because of our goodhearts
and respect that we showed majority westerners." 
South African President spoke the truth
 in front of thousands of senegalese youths. 
It is difficult for majority Africans
 to oppose their Ubuntu spirituality 
( which is standing on true love ) 
because of some strangers 
who invaded African territories. 
Continue Loving  some ( racists )  discriminators,
They  will change  one day.

In Ceuta

In Ceuta 
 
A Senegalese sat on a stone near the sea
he had tried to get to Spain but didn´t make it.
A nurse spoke to him hugged him.
God smiled down to both of them, 
this moment of tenderness.
Not so the monster calling itself the social media
they purred scorn on them.
Not only was he black and she white,
racism is alive, he was also a refugee who had sought a better life
which millions of Europeans had done when persecuted? 
when seeking work in the USA
and freedom from oppression.
Europe has become a haven for haters intolerant and obscene
a place where right-winged populism will bring us down the path
to the stone age of Nazism

Remember Ruben

REMEMBER RUBEN
Sons of peasants 
Insolent and craving 
For Grandeur, nay for 
Moneys
Trampling to death, 
Proud, oh! Too proud
To see death beside
Just waiting the
Hour. 


Sons of 
Officers and officials
Pale, empty, worldly
Certificates at shaky hand 
Oubliettes, wine and whores 
They prefer to our flags 
And behind they lag, rank 
Commandoes
Devouring and 
Devoured
Forgetting the killing 
Diseases
Aids!                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Senegalese riflemen 
Chadians of early sacrifices
Heroes of the resistance
Past warriors 
Who for freedom died
Here or there
Remember Ruben, 
Ouandié Ernest
Manga Bell
Martin Paul Samba
Félix Roland Moumié
Njoya
Ahidjo
Who said that these 
Were not brave?
Let new heroes emerge
From the North
In Fotokol 
And Kolofata
Let heroes come home
Singing our national anthem
O thou land of our fathers!
