mohamed Alpha Ba Poems

Do you remember a day in colonial era,
when bariers and frontiers imposed on africa.
Reminiscing about that day
when the schools through which i had passed
...

Should i exculpate
These atheist stray dogs, before its late
That barked, resorting with all might
In Jehovah's premises with fury at night
...

If they asked for my name
Say nothing
But………..
Mohamed bah the dangling poet
...

Some day I will walk away
In a dream
To travel as far as I can go
In search of a destination in Asia
...

They are Bulldogs
German Shepherd
Poodle coddle nearest to man
Far away beyond European borders
...

The clouds gather upon the mountain
And the thracian herdsmen stands with his spear
Desperate toend the life of a bear
So i stand, devastating looking down golden-gate
...

Packed my books in my chattel
Rush and pray in a chapel
Off i go to summer school
Dance and swim in the summer pool.
...

When the seas becomes desert
And a world with no expert
The corn fields as barren as granny
Your life sinking like the black pearl
...

Within these walls, stifled by damp and stench
muddy floor, flies watching over our bench,
A hopeless darkness settles over our path.
With class, status, behind our scruff like dog chain
...
