‘A victory dedication to the Zambian soccer team that perished in the Gabon plane crash’
So beautiful a noise, a song of triumph
The street madness
Chants of young and old music combined
The colour of smoke and fire
The tolerance of the law
The muscles and the steam
A tumult is born from the only Zambian goal
Arrested by guilty is the desire to celebrate
Only but for those whose great allegiance demanded
A sacrifice of life at sea
A blend of laughter and pain
A passion for an effort of lost dear brothers
Whose memories we treasure and endeavour
With pain to let go
A flush of ages
Blood, salt, pain and ashes
An old tale of a mourning president
Whose fine words could not find grace
In Comfort for the hopeless
It takes humanity
To fly back to a land whose past
Unfolds a provoking bitterness of a worst curse
And whose share is a reward of a prostitute.
It is Gabon 2012
