Sir why
Do you insist on being a brute
To the weak undefended folk
Whom you swore to defend
That is a heartless act
Which is condemned here and everywhere
Saawai defaal ndangka
Sir why
Do you pretend
To be kind
Yet with callous hands
Stroke the wounds of your victims
Making it out as a gesture of benevolence
As they pretend to smile
But cry silently as well
Saawai bayil niitnyii
Sir why
Do you think
You are the best of all
In all that we have as a people
But stoop so low
When you lie about issues
That matter the most to us all
Holding a holy script
As a guise of sanctity
That even the blind can see through
Saawai nyon dun edoff deh
Sir why
Not just vacate
The seat you usurped
And solemnly swore to hold in trust
Which you finally soiled
With blood of the innocent
Piling yourself with loot
Pretending you are not seen
Saawai giss nagnla chi lu werr
Saawai waachal
The loop is narrowing down
Go before it is too late
For then you cannot undo your wrongs
It would be your turn
To face the music
Not raged reggae
But the drumbeats of your conscience
That is if you have any at all

| Very impressive, Kaanibaa! Let's just hope 'Sir' gets the message..... |

| Thanks Anna, whether "Sir" does listen or not ,it is incumbent on us to keep harping on this matter as it concerns us gravely that our lives as that of those dear to us are fettered, by his callous rule/regime. The ancients say that a stone is very hard indeed but with a multitude continuously spitting on it , they finally moisten it enough to disintegrate, see how water affects the hard granite rocks on a waterfall eh! They were wise ; the ancients were. |

| Kaani, a brillaint poem. Bantaba gains a lot from you. Proper wisdom always, we are united against dictatorship. |
Surah- Ar-Rum 30-22
"And among His signs is the creation of heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge." Qu'ran

Kaani toofoo buka daa janii , tonya laebeh laban naa yeh mamaa!Thanks Santangfara .Even if it hurts let the truth be spoken, let it not be said that we too were baffled by another naked emperor as indeed we can clearly see through the subterfuge , Soldiers are experts at camouflage but hey man that is on the battle field not the political one , transparency is the watch word here in case Yaya Jemmeh has not noticed.Like a torn in his flesh these lines will keep poking at the naked parts of His Excellency.....oops!  |

Good one Kaani, perhaps I should use it as my signature with some adjustment. Thank you. |

You are so nice with your words of sir, saawai, etcetera, even though the aggressor don't deserve it..could be satiric addressing. On the other hand, the poem's message is fitting to that of a pretentious aggressor whose whims and caprices on decent citizenry know no bounds. I think it is as Professor Saine put it in words, and to paraphrase –we are looking at the beginning of the end.
As far as I can see, two things are likely to happen; Jammeh will either commit suicide, or some of these soldiers are going to blow his skull to pieces, because he will not readily give up power, knowing with certainty what awaits him. Both the former and the later are imminent. In any ways, which ever of them comes first, I say rot-in-hell until those transgressed stand in rows before their Lord asking for their niche of true justice, either in this world or the hereafter. The innocent accused witches and wizards, the student victims of April 10th/11th, the journalists in the caliber of Chief E. Manneh, the political supporters in the persons of Kanyiba Kanyi, the many soldiers victimized, and the unending list of victims of murder, incarceration, random hire and fire, torture, humuliation.....etc...will that day rejoice over a true victory of justice.

| That sounds like a curse cast on His Excellency just now . Perhaps it was inevitable that he had to suffer these failures , I mean things seem to not be working especially in the domain of appointments to high office by him.Every time he appoints officials I want to believe that he intends them to be a success story alas they turn out to be failures any way. He can never get it right that is my believe perhaps because of a curse , self inflicted ;may be ,via his constant swearing ; reminding me of his watch words " Billahi Wallahi Tallahi....." Come on guys this fellow has lost it and can never get it right, ever ! As for the end ;it surely is coming and I pray that it does not usher in another reign of misrule, terror and endless cruelty on the citizenry by the Executive Amen ! |
