Ousman Jatta (a.k.a Rambo) was picked up by the thugs during the September Presidential elections and has never been seen since; even when the high court judge presiding over his case demanded him produced, the thugs never yield. There are countless stories like Rambo's in Gambia today, innocent law abiding citizens are snatched away from their families at ungodly hours of the day or night - leaving their dependents in disrepute - to dissappear and reappear at the whims of the thug-in-chief. This abdnormal state of affairs has become normal in the eyes of ordinary folks yet remain abdnormal!
To those whose loved ones have dissappeared, I extend my heartfelt prayers during these trying times. Someday somehow, your tears will dry out.........
Disappear Appears But Normal
When the colors in the sky at sunrise Vanished with the mirage in a surprise As the scrapers blend with the fog Logged time seems to evanesce When courage seem to evaporate While memories all but dissipate
While hope slowly vanished Disappear appears in our midst As with nothing but a warning Rendition became the condition Those we thought indomitable Became less than incensed ignoble
Troubled, fading while evading Invulnerable became invincible Vamoosed, I am no longer bemused As disappear appears again but normal Like the frost at crack o’ dawn Good sons and daughters wholly undone.
