Acephalous IG: Locusts of Ambazonian Revolution
By
Peter Wuteh Vakunta, Ph.D
When did torrential rains
Start to fall on Ambazonians?
Where did rain clouds gather?
Was it at Foumban
Or at Ntarikon Park?
Who created the Infamous
Interim Government (IG)?
Is it Sisiku Julius Ayuk Tabe
Or Deacon Wilfred Tassang?
Where does Agbor Felix Balla Nkongho
Feature in all this hullabaloo?
Take the pulse of the Revolution—
A War of Attrition
Or Liberation Struggle?
Moving TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse)
Or Sinking Titanic in need of S.O.S?
Man no run!
Man no die man no rotten!
In this day and age,
Who heads the Amba Revolution?
Is it Nitwit Samuel Ikome Sako
Or Ninety-Nine Sense Christopher Anu?
Or is it bird of ill omen
Lucas Ayaba Cho?
What does the acronym SOCADEF stand for?
Southern Cameroons Defense Force!
Who is Commander-in-Chief of SOCADEF?
Is it Ayaba Cho Lucas or
Or the Maquisard,[ii]
Kondengui prisoner without a crime,
Ebenezer Derek Mbongo Akwanga?
These are locusts,
Not bona fide leaders
Hell-bent on crippling the struggle
By double dipping in
La mangeoire de la révolution[iii],
Wheeling and dealing
Through kleptomania
Locusts /
These nefarious insects do not build
They destroy!
They dilapidate!
Crogg/crogg/crogg/
They have destroyed the Revolution!—
They have demoralized
Our fighters on GZ!
Locusts /
Cragg/cragg/cragg/
Bastards! Assholes!
Emasculators of justice!
These hoodlums don’t nurture/
They devastate with impunity!
They don’t lead;
They mislead!
They don’t build;
They self-destruct!
Ambazonia’s gravediggers!
They have destroyed our struggle!
Crigg/crigg/crigg
Locusts,
These insects are hard
At work destroying
The legacy bequeathed
To Us by Forebears
Locusts are in charge of
Our Collective Dream.
Shall they make or mar?
That is the question!
It’s a trap/
A REAL booby-trap/
For unsuspecting insects of prey/
An insidious entanglement/
For unwary human beings/
Our Battle is locked/
In a multitude of cobwebs/
Caught we are/
In ego consciousness,
In our web of intrigues.
Nonetheless…/
I have a dream that one day/
Southern Cameroonians will bounce /
Back to sanity/
On that day/
Ambazonians will know
Who the real leaders were/
I have a dream…/
That though the blows may be hard
On Ambazonians/
They shall pull the punches/
Stay the course/
And see light at the
End of the tunnel
I have a dream…/
That one day Ambazonia/
Will be free…free at last! /
I shed tears for Ambazonia/
You know why merciful Lord/
Tears of muteness/
Frustration/
Sorrow/
Despondency/
Angst/
Melancholy/
Trauma…/
