TRIBUTE TO COMMANDANTE NKUNDA
COMMANDANTE, THEY SAY THE SUN WILL FOLLOW EVERY RAIN,
A HERO OR A LIBERATOR, THEY BOTH HAVE A DISTANT GOAL,
IF WE EXPLORE THE HEAVENS, OR IF WE SEARCH INSIDE,
WELL, IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER TO US NOW AS LONG AS WE CAN TELL OURSELVES………………
YOU HAVE ALWAYS TRIED COMMANDANTE
COMMANDANTE these mist covered mountains of Masisi were home for you until now,
But your home is the lowlands, and always will be,
Someday you'll return to your valleys and your farms,
And you'll no longer yearn to be the freedom fighter you are,
Through these fields of destruction, you've watched all our suffering…
in the camps in Kibuye, Byumba, Gatumba, Bigogwe as the battles raged on,
while others stood aside and looked and others went on to LEOPOLDVILLE for jobs in high places,
And though they hurt us so bad, in the fear and persecution,
you did not desert us COMMANDANTE, our beloved COMMANDANTE
COMMANDANTE now the sun's gone to hell as dark clouds loom over Masisi, Jomba,
& the land of a thousand hills,
I will not bid you farewell though every man has to die,
We're fools to make war on our brother in arms,
Let's pray hard, let's kneel for a while,
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies,
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,
As we turn our sad faces into the sun praising our leaders,
COMMANDANTE you're a soldier of freedom in the army of men,
COMMANDANTE you're the chosen, you're the cadre, you're the real revolutionary,
The cause is noble and the cause is just but you were ready to pay with your life if you must,
This is the turn of betrayal all real but still unseen the likes of, treachery, deceit, mistrust & intrigue
It's the same old story with a different name,
Nothing's gonna stop us as the day follows the night,
Right has become wrong; the left whose blood we shared has turned to the right,
And WE sung in Kibuye as they HIT US WITH THEIR BATONS with OUR HEADS HIGH,
Today it's the mountains tomorrow it's the left,
Since last Thursday I haven't seen a rifle in your hands,
And WE'RE not ashamed to say the news of your arrest made US cry,
Can you hear us COMMANDANTE? Can you hear us cry?
Can you hear us crying? Can you hear us calling you COMMANDANTE?
Let's build a strong PEOPLE, BECAUSE there's too much in between,
The sacrifices we made from October 1990 until now,
Learn and work as never yet, that this cold generation faith in its own fears beget,
I write to you COMMANDANTE, I write to COMMANDANTE,
To COMMANDANTE with love, COMMANDANTE with love,
All quiet in your cell, all quiet in your cell COMMANDANTE,
To where we'll come from the ashes & ruins of our kraals in Masisi,
ALL DRESSED IN BLACK and dripped with the blood of our slain cattle,
fallen fighters and brethren alike
Can you hear us crying? Can you hear us cry?
Can you hear us COMMANDANTE?
Can you hear us calling you COMMANDANTE?
COMMANDANTE you were the voice of the voiceless, the voice of the unheard,
COMMANDANTE because of you, our voices were heard and echoed far beyond the Great Lakes
right across the seas from 10 Downing Street, Champs Elysee to the State Department
where Uncle Sam still remains indifferent to our right to exist as he did during the 94 genocide
for we know we were endowed as well by THEIR SAME creator
with their same inalienable rights that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
GOD BLESS CNDP, RAISE UP HER SPIRITS DURING THESE TRYING TIMES
RAISE UP HER SPIRITS, HEAR OUR PAYERS AND BLESS US.
BLESS THE LEADERS, BLESS COMMANDANTE, BLESS ALSO THE CADRES AND FIGHTERS,
THAT THEY MAY CARRY ON THE STRUGGLE WITH COURAGE, DETERMINATION AND HOPE.
BLESS OUR EFFORTS TO UNITE AND LIFT OURSELVES UP AS we rise slowly to an uncertain future
COME SPIRIT, DESCEND SPIRIT
COME HOLY SPIRIT
COMMANDANTE THIS STORY, THIS POEM IS OUR TESTAMENT AND OUR TRIBUTE TO YOU……
GOD BLESS
