Hebert Logerie Poems

You are a leader
Not a follower.
A date is a date,
Go for the debate.
...

(Ce poème est dédié à mon ami, feu Luc Pyram
enterré le 8 novembre,2008)

Le temps était nébuleux et le ciel en pleurs.
...

Betrayed and backstabbed
By our African brothers.
Insulted, humiliated and robbed
By Our European brothers.
...

You once told me your race
(Not if I really cared)
You once showed me the true color of your face
(Not if that mattered)
...

Now, you and I have won,
We will pardon
Our adversaries,
Ignore our enemies
...

I am not worrying about a new year.
Every single day is a brand new date,
For us to gleefully enjoy and celebrate,
From dawn to noon, until the night, dear.
...

For crying out loud
I am awesomely proud
To be a Fool in love
With Mother Nature.
...

Death steals from us all the time
Death loves committing crime
Death eerily robs us of our friends
Sisters, brothers and our dear parents.
...

The first time, we met; you treated me,
Like a sibling, like a brother.
It was friendship; it was love at first sight;
In a very short time, you became my faithful mentor,
...

Please stop, stop, and stop procrastinating
Next week comes the last holy day of spring
Flowers, butterflies and bees will be gone
Time is running as wild as a wild guenon
...
