You gave me happy memories
Was I able to reciprocate?
All the fight
Were they out of love?
...
Lord if am to fall today
Let me be judged
bless every word that comes
out of my mouth
...
I know of a city
scattered in the hills
like the lost boys of Sudan
an ancient city of great possibilities
...
Dear son,
you have come of age
and things might look strange
so i am writing you this piece
...
Where are you?
When this lofty train
Was moving with
Utmost speed and ignition
...
Oh freedom! My freedom
where art thou?
Why did you leave me
at this crucial juncture
...
Can you see what I'm seeing?
fire caused by our inactions
flames burning the tree of truth
hollowing soils of innocent men
...
A toi
my soothing spring of inimitable beauty
your soft smiles and deep dimples,
a priceless sight to behold
...
The black hawk has fallen
it power,
lost in the struggle for justice
it blood,
...
Homage to the great one
seeker of perfection
that resides not in the nation
embodiment of malicious
...
To the god I don't know
why do you save me now and even then
when I don't even know you
creator of love and hatred
...
Cry not my marred beau
for I will surely return
though it may take years
have faith I will surely return
...
Ils sont venus
the stealers of culture and heritage
in more dynamic ways
with new apparatus and agencies
...

Happy Memories
You gave me happy memories
Was I able to reciprocate?
All the fight
Were they out of love?
And the arguments
Out of stupidity I guess?
The jokes
Fun and relaxing
Aren't they?
