The Gambia: Gunjur Is Crying 

FeatureThe Gambia: Gunjur Is Crying 
By Landing Nyassi Norway

 

Gunjur is crying

Her sea raped, betrayed and battered

Wailing and throwing out rotten fish as tears

Her tears has turned bloody red with bad smell

 

Gunjur is crying

Cruel Culprits morphed into nation builders

Ching Chong Changa has the bucks

Accomplices stand out, shouting for the bucks

Opening mouths as if to swallow the world

With the bucks their integrity is bought

 

Gunjur is crying

Yet no one care, those who care are ridiculed

Ching Chong showed the highest defiance

By raising a flag waste pipes are re-installed

Now she can cry or wail an ocean

Who cares? Who will rescue her?

 

Gunjur is crying

Her leaders hankering over paltry prizes

Hankering over  worthless gains

Do they care for her? A betrayal unabated!

They chant that the waste is not toxic

But have they forgotten the NEMA act?

Waste should not be dumped in the sea!

 

Gunjur is crying

Who is gonna wipe her tears?

Who is gonna guarantee a future for her kids?

Do nothing and we would all be guilty

Guilty of a collective ecocide

It is an inalienable right to protect our environ

Forward with safeguarding lest be consumed

Be consumed by a collective suicide

The choice is ours Gambia to end this cry of Gunjur !
