This is the story about my neighbourhood

The picture we live in

This is the story about my neighbourhood

 

The firewood and gas stoves

The candles and spot lights

The lux cars and leg jets

The party dustbins and street beggars

The raggy rags and suiting suits

The fagot feet and jetty sits

The I know what am doing and do this like this

The very hot suplex and cold mats

The pregnant men and preaching women

The don’t do and the do nots

The ah! almost and do try again

The politics and the politicians

The rear sit church and front sit heaven

The musicians and noise makers

The above counters and behind doors

The doggy he-goats and licky bitches

The daily results and holidays abroad

The head ups and story tellers

The call boxes and strip boxes

The kumba breads and switchers

The sun dial and Rolexes

The day flights and night planes

The sorceries and apprentice sorceries

The imprisoned truth and free thieves

The drivers and the death traps

The no man’s land and the one man’s lands

Cameroon with all my heart
