FREEDOM FIGHTER

FREEDOM FIGHTER

FREEDOM FIGHTER

Here I am, looking for a blue colour,
The only key which can open that door
Behind which I may find the strength of hope,
Here I am, tired of this heavy coat!
This heavy coat breaking down my shoulders,
And turning my child days into nightmares,
Drawing lines on the face of a young one,
And watering thorns throughout my playground;

Nelson Mandela The Freedom fighter

Nelson Mandela The Freedom fighter

Here I am, looking for my horizon,
Where Skies and Earth kiss for the best season…
Here I am, walking on dust and ashes,
My feet are burnt owing to blind clashes…
Here I am, digging with my two bare hands
In the hard soil of these hot barren lands…
Here I am, striving to unearth your smile,
For it is the reason why I survive…

My name is Théodore René Ndebi, born in Cameroon. I graduated in Banking Management. But what really makes me proud and happy is WRITING !!!!! I started writing around 1990. I write the most I can.

I mostly write for children’s future. As a child, I had always dreamt of a world where poor children and orphans could be happy as well.

XENOPHOBIA – Where Lies MADIBA?

XENOPHOBIA – Where Lies MADIBA?

Xenophobia – where lies Madiba?

The air exhaled from the South
Lies tints of red
Ashes are no strangers
Visiting them in soots of black veins

Rage has escaped its cage
Snarling and benighting
A place we once called home
Puncturing the tranquil landmarks
Moulded with drops of sweat in Madiba

Say NO to Xenophobia!

Say NO to Xenophobia!

The South has tasted blood
From a common tributary
The mask has fallen off
From their faces and now
The vampires have risen

They deliver rubble to the streets
Chanting like brains
Loosed from their fetters
Where lies Madiba’s carcass?

Like vultures
They roam above the roofs
Where blood is thick and black
Where lies Madiba?
