In the end
The very bitter end
Struck with such venomous force
Sat the beaten
Head lowered in shame
Distrust measuring the gaze
This is the face of disgrace
Witness the gloom of defeat
The winner sits in foolish vainglory
Lord and master of the downtrodden
They do not laugh
Nor do they smile
They do not speak
Nor do they acknowledge
All they do is sit in gloomy silence
Mulling over their sorry state
Wondering what could have been
And what it has become for them
In the short lovely past they lived
In false security
None believing they shall fall
Down to the lowest level
Now spat on as worthless and doomed
Their sunset came as a surprise
Making them will a rebirth
That perhaps they can rejoin the heights of glory
Now fixed at a lowly level
There seemingly bereft of any hopeful respite
While all around are hooting mocking folk
Who join in this sadistic feat
They simply take that as fate
Dished out to them
A feast that they were not prepared for
Alone in a multitude
They trudge along the dusty road
Longing to reach its end
Knowing not what lies ahead
Despondent and flushed
They simply walk that dusty path
With no hope of joy
Crying is beyond them
Perhaps it is better to lie down and die
Even then what follows is another worry
As they care about what dignity
They finally gain thus
A donkey's kick to dust
Cannot mask
The fart

quote:
A donkey's kick to dust
Cannot mask
The fart
I’ve often heard when donkeys throws a kick, throwing back equals revenge but it equally makes one virtually a donkey (Courtesy of traditional proverb), and rightly concluded in the poem, “a donkey’s kick to the dust cannot mask the fart.” …typical of a kicking donkey with its two legs throwing cluster bombs to clear and innocent skies. Perhaps, “Fallidamfo,” the title of the poem is well calculated in our today’s Gambia where “bullying” of innocent people has become order of the day. In the end, I am afraid a type of “fallidamfo” simplified as “self-defense” will find its head sprouting. It was this editorial I read from Sarjo Bayang titled “jungle justice” that echoed in my head as I came to the finishing point of your poem. Beyond that, I hope God Almighty sees the victims of “Fallidamfo” and at once God says “BE!” and that’s final.
Happy belated fasting & take greater care.

| You are wonderful bro , hitting it squarely as it where , that was a neat shot one can classify as a marksman bull-shot, bravo and amen to that call of yours, "fa inama amuruhu izaarada say an , anya kullallaho kunfaya kuun."The patient dog certainly gets his fat bone one day and that shall be his day too !insha Allahu.The ignorant though read these as the cries of the hopeless alas they are the losers for indeed Allah shall always come to the rescue of the oppressed, time will surely tell.By these few seemingly hopeless cries I share the relief of the journalists who were made to suffer the horrors of unjustified incarceration by a heartless tyrant, who is too silly and so stupid as to think people are impressed by his acts as those of bullying then coming up with bogus pardons. Presidential Pardons my foot, that was not a pardon but a face saving gambit that is all.The journalists have not been cowed and they came out the victors in this charade,long live the free and long live freedom of expression, down with oppression. |
