"chichonk" poems
Welcom my new year (2965-2015) by boubkar chelh
Welcome my new year
This is your celebration
The remembrance of your triumph
Let’s enjoy this moment together
To burn candles
To sing
To discuss the victory of chichonk
It’s time to say goodbye to 2964
Full of misery and scars
Welcome my new year
To live this occasion alone
I sent invitations to my neighbors, but they didn’t join the party
They told me, you are only a bony body drifted by the waves of history
No one cares of your story
Welcome my new year
Come to revive our past memories
Which lost in centuries of wars
Intolerance
In my country
Where the injustice spread
Where my forefathers killed under the hourses’shoes
The wheel of time registered all my sacrifices
I am official along time ago. Still creeping on my wounded knees
Toward schools and administrations,
I realized that they aren’t satisfied to use my name
Welcome my new year
To be witness, to have knowledge of my status
I am a ball of hatred inside the souls of my neighbors
I can smell it from their breath
I can see it in the white teeth of laughing hyenas
I become only an ornate writings on posters
My issue is waiting for my democratic turn
Because the world is busy with other issues
Welcome my new year
This is our chance
Hand in hand for change
And demand this new world to give support
