Tyrants and sycophants sit with comfortless memories
Perturbed by past, illegal and gory glories
...
The unsteady familiar rhythm of known voices
Like some haunting siren song suffocates
...
A fine f- she was, they said
From Bakweri land to Ngaoundal
Where did she not have a tryst?

Two-legged brain, transcendental transcriber
Contiguous of earth, monsieur

Comfortless Memories
Tyrants and sycophants sit with comfortless memories
Perturbed by past, illegal and gory glories
Their future reserves nothing but gloom
Unlike their bygone days of bloom

Togo has seen a fall -
Who will be the next - off
Oftentimes I wonder why meek rulers change when at the top
Forgetting the future - inevitable drop!
On the fall of Togolese ruler,
Gnassingbe Eyadema,2005.
