Nya Bonambela:
At the fulcrum of the cardinal quadruped/
Playing certainty with compass points:
– pongo
– mikondo
– jedu
– mbengue
Breathing life to a polymorphous cultural construct/
Lacing with nyambeism:
– spirit of negro ancestral consciousness, organisation and definition
Nya Bonambela:
Probing the zodiac with regal effulgence/
Unearthing bonambela geneological plane up to the banks of the Nile/
Replicating cursive and hieratic hieroglyphs/
Resurrecting gilded negro feline totems:
Peppered with sawa-graffi-sahel figurines/
Combining kemet cosmogony and anthropologos/
Birthing in its stead a syncretic architectural shape and form:
MUKANDA
– witness to Senghorian asymetric parallelism
– testimony to Diopian nations nègres
– confluence of negritude and tigritude
Nya Bonambela:
Running with the wind of change/
Espousing the binary axioms of the mpodol:
– reunification
– independence
Resisting under the nom de guerre:
DIABOBE
– DI for Dika
– A for Akwa
– Bo for Bona
– Be for Bela
Pré carré minstrels in the trenches of the Sanaga Maritime/
Making light our neocolonial burden/
Making tedious their selective memory.
COLONEL DIABOBE
