Yes I Know! Poem by Aloumalove-Alouwou Mandjah

Deep in my mother's womb
I did not know back then
I did not know when
the world welcome me
I did not know when
was my first birthday
Mysteriously now
I don't even know
when the farewell will reverberate
No, I won't know either when
silent space trip will walk through
the door of no return.
When come the time
there alone I shall go
But when I am gone
what I know for sure
I know family and friends
Will remember me
and I know, yes I know
My poems will echo my existence
on my behalf my craft will quaver
some melodious reminiscent tune
to tell the whole world
that I passed by
Yes I know!
