I now plead with you all to let personality conflict aside and focus on one Africa. I thank you all so much and i hope this poem will serve that purpose of bringing unity among us as we long for unseating Jammeh soon.
The truth on the wall
O associates in struggle! how about a unity bashing here? that all may live to cherish our only Ghandis, the Malcolms and the kings of our small Gambia whose efforts are all renowned in their own small but noble ways and only humans they are you know with certainty of sight the truth on the wall of this globe that they all lived for this struggle in their own little ways when you and I ate the fine sandwiches slept in big comfort beds and rattling the computer keystrokes with heavy hearts asunder in America, London and elsewhere taking the spears on their faces and ourselves with useless sharp cuts as we wallow in a world of fancy and you know Halifa, Darboe and all are all dreaming for a different Gambia so how come you do not say- Long live Halifa! Long live Darboe! Long live unity! and long live all the true heroes!
O associates in struggle! say no to the whisper of the devil whose only wish is our division resembling the groups in Somalia who all called themselves Muslims and at dawn time, they are brothers before noon, they are tribal enemies cutting the necks of their brothers at dawn and if this is the Gambia, we long for I am now embarrassed to be a Gambian you should also feel the pain and I would rather call myself an African just so Africa of great fatherland will not equate me with those useless sons who destroyed hope and shattered unity like the Jammehs, the Mugabes and the Taylors so you all should now shake the hands and bury the hatchet for a greater Africa an Africa we all love and cherish and that Africa we are all liberating so you and I can hold the national flag and singing our national anthem in chorus so the colonial master doesnt laught at us so long live Africa! long live you and I! long live unity and the struggle! and long live Halifa, Darboe et al.
