The poem below is a prediction of the forthcoming presidential elections in the Gambia. In it, I tried to relay the many ways that the voting process will happen. The Wolf with his gun men are not going let the votes to count as they were thrown in the ballots. The world observers will do nothing, but engage in mere hypocrisy. The respected Fox is a living hero, a genius of our time.
The day of Counting: A political Poem
Democracy patterns
Stones in millions
One thrown after the order.
The long lines of Gambians in white shirts
We spotted some non-Gambians in black
Some hiding their faces and others confident.
Next to the lines, we saw the gun men
The soldiers of the angry wolf
They are poisoned with a command to hurt or kill.
The judges asking for voter’s card
They wetted many hands with blue ink
Finally, each is given a little stone.
In and out of the little house
Where the ballots are placed
Kan, Kan, duk- the sounds of the ballots.
The sieve is the counter
One full is 10,000 votes for the wolf
Another full is 7,000 votes for the fox.
Before hand, mass buying of stones by the wolf
One bag of rice for a poor farmer
Get a whole family’s 25 votes.
The fox though, a living miracle
African’s handsome prince
Teacher of the blind and deaf.
The screen men shouted
Some commercials while results are being wrongly tallied
During the screen play, the gun men ordered destiny changed.
Counting is over, now fox still won
The wolf ordered the gun men to change destiny
Blood, tears and sweat running down non-stop.
The world vultures still hypocrites
They talk like angels
And they are stupid human beings.
How long do we have to go compatriots?
This is a rough journey
Please vote for the fox.
Weeeee fox come September 2006!
