ODE OF EDWARD FRANCIS SMALL

Edward Francis Small
What an icon for unionists!
The heroes of tax payers
Father of modern Gambian politics
The pen and ink of The Gambia Outlook
And the Senegambia Reporter
History speaks positive of you;
Critical and independent
A gallant editor you were
Who threatened colonialism
To jump out of its skin
"No taxation without representation"
With which you broke
The inimical horns
Of the colonial buffaloes
Who were marauding the rice field
Of our self-determination.

By Baboucarr Ceesay
