POEM: CHANTING WITHIN BANNERS, by Essa Bokarr Sey. 
> Speeding speeches and spitting speeches,your microphones shouldn't clone the 
> beasts of fury!
> The labarynth of those absurd words....Sarcasm and cynicism are causing 
> scars!
> A chatter box was scaring our cocks! Words or swords? Lords or cords? 
> Boards or jugs?
> The aim shouldn't be odd and short! It should be broad and intuitive.Let it 
> not loot,let it be good.
> Lend me your good ears! 
> So many say "chaaya nël tek suma demea N'dar hotti tu béye"-Promises within 
> premises are better than promises surrounded by skirmishes!
> Cackling barrels aren't good pals of chuckling voters.
> So...So...so... Demba Jam! Jamtankai! please refuse to be abused and 
> then later seek refuge.The settler's feet aren't ready to tred along the 
> plains! Banana plants are spreading green leaves on the savana plains.
> My tastebuds are very active...hmmm...munching in peace is easier than 
> nibbling in tears!
> Lock the grudges and light the torches.Avoid the boils and oil the scars.
> "Yaakaar Dafa Réye"! Champions or chameleons? O! butter in my bread...i 
> have changed! Then we say to you-leave the stage!
> O! ice cream on my palm....I am done! Then we say to you-you were thirsty 
> and not steady, so leave the stage!
> O! responsibilty on my scalp...I am confronted and concerned-Then we say to 
> you-"Ahlan Wa sah lan!" Welcome and orientate the ship's rudder.
> Comics and lyrics cannot wash the laundry! 
> Trancing in chances and chanting within banners,Africa's styles 
> shouldn't be wild, they should be mild.
> Politics or rolling on tricks? Say nay to slaying and maiming.
> Do not rake the values! The new world order refuses 'killer-boxers' it 
> assists lovers.
> Too mutch pressure on the clutch!...hmmm....speed kills!
> Africaye! is our road bumpy or smooth?
