« Je demanderai à Dieu par miséricorde de nous protéger. Ensuite, je vais enfumer, pour aider à purifier l’air, donner des médicaments et les prendre. J’éviterai les lieux, et les personnes, où ma présence n’est pas nécessaire pour ne pas être contaminé et aussi infliger et affecter les autres, pour ne pas causer leur mort par suite de ma négligence. Si Dieu veut me prendre, il me trouvera sûrement et j’aurai fait ce qu’il attendait de moi, sans être responsable ni de ma propre mort ni de la mort des autres. Si mon voisin a besoin de moi, je n’éviterai ni lieu ni personne, mais j’irai librement comme indiqué ci-dessus. Voyez, c’est une telle foi qui craint Dieu parce qu’elle n’est ni impétueuse ni téméraire et ne tente pas Dieu. » Martin Luther

You didn’t hear… or did you hide willingly under the bed of abstraction?
Maybe you did hear about Boko Haram and other terrorist movements in action…
But, you see, your geography professor told you as did your musician,
With all the calm and seriousness of an academician,
That Kousseri, Maroua, Mora, Tourou, Moskota, Koza, Ouzal, Mozogo,
And other localities or infrahuman countries must go,
Because their humanity index is so low, and,
They are located on an unknown planet, the land of tomorrow.
Why worry about the future
While one calmly drinks today’s culture?
Maybe you didn’t see what is happening on social media as your soul became a taro…
Because, above all, you must set your economic priorities right to beat the antihero
And accumulate as much power and things as you can carry in your empty barrow.
Your business professor told you so, with his academic sombrero.
Your financial advisor is such a genius so different from the harrow
That you gather things, things and more things, and the great dinero.
You eat power, power and more power over bones without a marrow.
Aren’t they mere keys to your success today and tomorrow?
Your eyes can’t see while you dream to be the next pharaoh
And, after all, your neighbor is just a dried arrow!
Who will cry for those who no longer have heads?
Who will become a shelter for those who no longer have beds?
Who will eat for those who can no longer smell the odor of fresh breads?
Who will bring joyous colors to lives painted in multiple reds?
Who will tell Europe, America, Asia and others, that Boko Haram spreads
Faster and deeper than the swiftest fighters and meds?
Who will act? Who will dig? Who will lovingly address the roots
Instead of relying solely on boots?
Oh! I wish you and I were the recovered triumphant shouts of the voiceless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the beautiful tears of the tearless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the real wealth of the resourceless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the reconstructed ramparts of the powerless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the regained smiles of the hopeless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the lost but found face of the faceless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the living image of the divine rock for the baseless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the real value of lives so priceless!
Regardless of our religious backgrounds, we are all humans;
Would you and I actively navigate against the currents and stop treating others as subhumans?
Moussa Bongoyok, PhD
Professor of Intercultural Studies and Holistic Development
