THE ANNOINTED ONE

Byb Tikum Mbah Azonga

(For Nkarimbi Moses)

Let me call my son
And I will do so right here, right now
I will do so, not for fun
No, but in all seriousness
Like the pepped up torch bearer
The sullen town crier
Who is, who was and who is to be.

I`m not Mbarga Anderson
But this right-hand man of mine is a real vow
He is in no way a man on the run
That`s why I hold him in all highness
He is my eyes, my ears, and my water bearer
When I shall have gone higher
He is the one and only, my man, who will be.
