Edouard BIZIMANA Poems

How could it be otherwise,
When His handmade are not wise?
Keeping an eye on each of the artifacts,
For a kind and fatherly census,
...

Today is your day girls of all ages
But who remember you,
Girls of Chibok rapped and raped?
Who give a damn to the plight of millions of you in Pakistan?
...

I wish I could stay
This, I shouldn't say
For the choice is so hard to make
Because all comes back to the family
...

Unmoved by the winter cold he stood;
Waving to every passer-by to give food
Or a lifesaving gesture after reading the paper
Which many refused to look at so as to avoid the keeper.
...

O Tanzanie, O tanzanie,
Ne m´oublie pas,
O Tanzanie,
Moi l´exilé, tant infligé,
...

To many it is just a day
Event-less and not worth a say,
But to me, Saturday is a blessing:
...

Though not like Mary the Virgin
But not far from being a holy mother
For you fed me from your breast
After Dad passed away
...

Alone in my own kind
In the Sochi friendly wind
I thought nobody would mind
A lonely roving man like me,
...

The Tattoo
In a twinkling of an eye,
Love, emotions, action we went through
For a while, to us the world belonged
...

Un coup de foudre
Un coup de folie,
Tout m'échappe et me charge
D'un fardeau d'illusions.
...
