The New People Online

They have built guilt on their faces.

For cropping and dropping corrupt Ministers in phases

Brought from the Diaspora to feed from greed

God blind my eyes to this Red dressed harum-scarum

That recruits Thugs that neither fear Cocaine nor scare rum

Disembark me from this disdainful dread of a falling nation

This marauding presidential power drunken machinery

Keeps plopping intimidation viral on the Green plenary

With hope to teeter taunting threats of regime change

The unholy tide has washed their frailties ashore

With smelly air like the rottenness that now flags Osho

The Oshore for sure that could not see the end of the tunnel

Sierra Leone’s leading sensational superstar, Jimmy Y. Bangura (Jimmy B) is once again well set, as usual, to put his country at the peak. Jimmy B, who is regarded as the God-Father of the Sierra Leone music industry, has now toed a new line by venturing into the promotion of the movie industry in the country. This industry if developed, can significantly contribute towards the provision of employment and the promotion of culture and tourism.

I AM A SIERRA LEONEAN, FIRSTLY.

ALL ELSE IS SECONDARY.

MY TRIBE, THE REGION THAT I COME FROM,

NOR SENTIMENTS OR SELFISHNESS

SHALL INFLUENCE MY VOTE.

...MY CONSCIENCE WILL NEVER LET ME.

God this Nation drops every bit of blood Red

With hope for survival soon going dead

Our errors heralding danger into which we’ve been led

I wish I could have been you Maada

Fierce in purpose but neatly painted like Panda

I wish I could have been a killer

More than gold and silver Sylvia you brought

To give this nation peace none could have bought

With ease this peace could tease their hope

A torrential wind lashes across the nation with violent tide

With blowzy look we see the ruling pulling dangling stride

And for proper gaze the young could push a climb for the ladder
