Fabrice Bukunguta Poems

Africa did not deserve what it has become.
Black people lived here with no notion of whiteness,
Believing that black was the only color.
They did not even know that white birds existed.
...

Life is a journey through darkness.
It contains many lessons and challenges,
Where mornings can be difficult.
We do not eat fish every day;
...

We are swords, yet so silent,
Living on this planet.
Like birds that sing every day,
Telling us that the weather is bad.
...

I regret that our land has lost its joy.
People live in misery,
Working without reward.
They receive lies as if they were food,
...

I am astonished by our leaders.
They destroy everything like looters.
The people are forgotten and neglected,
As if their voices do not matter.
...

We live now like goats in the forest;
We can't think to have the same right,
We are just there observing with no idea,
Unable even to ask for just man's bear.
...
