SO LONG MADIBA- PART TWO – BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ

Image SO LONG MADIBA

Can you feel the emptiness,

Of the stained sadness in the sober wind,
It was only yesterday,
That the Owl hooted upon the fragile fingers of Our Mothers roof,
We knew a dirge was coming . . .
Its signs were printed on the footprints of Life
And even the grief in the naked sky,
was filled with grey energy . . .

Can you feel the emptiness at the crack of dawn,
Where even the still air begins to mourn,
And I still feel your presence, feeding the world with an ancient language of selfless music,

It is not enough to dance to the tunes from your shadows
Where are “OUR LEADERS”?
Reaping blindly from the vanity of a fools harvest?

OGA MADIBA – Where do we go from here ?

by Tony Tokunbo Fernandez

FAREWELL MADIBA – PART ONE – BY TONY TOKUNBO FERNANDEZ

Image

VERY FEW STILL STANDING,
IN TRUENESS OF A SELFLESS DIGNIFIED DANCE,
IT IS NOT ENOUGH- TO DECORATE THE WALLS OF THE REGIONS OF THIS EARTH WITH FANCY WORDS, FALSE PROMISES AND AN EMPTY HEART,

TOO MANY SHIPS – NOT ENOUGH SAILORS ….
AND EVEN THE DEEP BLUE SEA FEELS NEGLECTED,

LAST NIGHT,
YOU LEFT QUIETLY,
AFTER GRADUATING FROM A COLOURFUL HISTORIC JOURNEY,
MY HEART SANK ….
AND THE MOOD IN MY SOUL BEGAN TO CRY …
AND YET- I AM STILL AWAKE BUT SPEECHLESS …
SURROUNDED BY THE DETAILS AND THE RIDDLES OF THE DAY,
AND PERHAPS A NEW VOID THAT WILL NEVER BE FILLED,
HAS LEFT A STAIN IN THE NAKED STILL WIND,
WITH DUE RESPECT- THANK YOU SIR

Zim Link aims to promote the free exchange of information and knowledge with local people through film, media and photography.

Our first project will be to travel to Zimbabwe and use film and photography to empower individuals to work together to create better understanding of the world around us. We will join together with our brothers and sisters to learn and transform our understanding, creating new links to encourage a better understanding of the planet we live in.

As part of the trip we will be taking camera’s and equipment to be donated to some of the village schools so that children can have them to work with. We will be exchanging skills in web design, blogging and social media with the schools. We will also be documenting the journey and creating a short film to share with Zimbabwe and the world.

This project will be run in collaboration with Media4youth and has the potential to create new partnerships with Zimbabwe and empower individuals and organisations to express themselves through various forms of media. It will have both economic and social benefits for both societies. Zim Link promote the active participation of local communities in development and understanding of other cultures, through education, understanding and empowerment.
