I have seen it...
I have seen it with my very eyes...
Yes. I have seen it.
...

Let us go gentle with the nature
It has given us many
Blessings to be proud of
...

Why should anyone call this town a Jungle?
Is it a joke? Is it ignorance?
Is it arrogance?
Or it is just an other image making exercise…
...

Don’t Give Up in Protecting the Mother Earth
My son… Look at how you managed
To protect the Mother Earth in the past
When you were younger
...

Until I can look into my self
And find the real
Identity of my inner self,
I will not blame anyone
...

Discovering La Negritude
It is like drinking pure water freshly
Taken from a spring
Not Processed, Not Packaged, Not Commercialised
...

(To Papa and Maman Dungu - In memory
of my childhood friend Helene Dungu)

I was and I am still speechless
...

I feel safe in front of a blank paper

Holding a pen in my hand
...

I am going shopping
But I will not see Mr. Smith,
Even Mrs Velnet would not
Cross my sight today
...

I cannot give up my soul…
That’s what makes me
Who I am
...

My black pearl…
My black diamond
My gold,
...

Let us live in peace
Among ourselves
That is our natural instinct
...

It is just an empty gesture
To cut my head off
And let me bleed to death
So the doctor would declare me
...

As he is said nothing will be the same again
He would be proven to be right
One finds it difficult to appreciate what
Belongs to him or her
...

Oh! I am so happy
I am so happy at what
It is happening to me
I am getting Old
...

This poem is dedicated to my friend Monique Mbombo

Whatever comes along my way...
I promise you
...

Acts on me my baby
Don’t let yourself stand there
I am here for you
My mind is blank at the moment
...

Who said that I have stopped loving you?
Whatever I did yesterday,
I am doing today,
Or I will do tomorrow,
...

I should not lie to myself anymore
I should not live in denial anymore
I should not mislead myself anymore
...
