POETRY CORNER
SONG OF THE RIVER GAMBIA


Song of The River Gambia
A sanctifying sweet song
Like that of a flying nightingale
Rendering consciences amplified
Freeing victims of calumnies
And prejudice of anarchy
Telling about the good past
Inherent in history
When equality really exists
Human beings were not greedy
To own a chattel
No slave or master
Imagine when imperialism was not born
This songs of The River Gambia
Of our time and cline
Warns against impending convulsion

The Will and Testament
Of great ancestors
Vouchsafed to the generation
Calling for annihilation of bad systems
Causing flaws in the terrestrial globe
All over a song sings
But of The River Gambia
To The Gambia for good

Fight but first with our hands,
With our mouth - words
And then with our hearts
To win the long fight for liberation
Join the whole world
As one people, one heart and one destiny

These are strong words. Personally,” annihilation” is strong and I just can’t resist this part of the song:


“Calling for annihilation of bad systems
………

To The Gambia for good

Fight but first with our hands,
With our mouth - words
And then with our hearts
To win the long fight for liberation
Join the whole world
As one people, one heart and one destiny “

A good example of ” bad systems” :
