Emmanuel Liadi Poems

On African Spirituality:
Listening to the Ancestors

Open your ears to the ancestors
...

Today is another day
We March
Like every other day
In fight for our lives.
...

Ode to the fallen heroes
Who left their all
When duty call
Glanced at victory
...

I held on to my past
That should never have last
Flashes of life's horror
Running through my head
...

I've walked a thousand mile
To loves' land
I've read the pages' file
To take her by the hand
...
