Par Tikum Mbah Azonga
Je ne danse pas
Maman a-t-elle chante ouya ?
Ou est-ce deux poids deux mesures ?
Soyons justes, quand même !

- Tikum Mbah Azonga
- I speak over twenty languages. I have native-level command of both French and English. In fact, after my higher education in France, I was recruited by France and seconded to a High School in London as a "French Mother Tongue" teacher, or what is commonly referred to as a Foreign Language Assistant. I am by training a journalist, teacher of French and Spanish, as well as a translator-interpreter. I studied in Cameroon, France and England.I have criss crossed Africa and Europe.I have worked as a journalist and teacher of French and Spanish in some United Kingdom High Schools, but especially in London. Today, I teach journalism at the University of Buea in Cameroon. I have published books of poetry in English and French, some of which are official text books in Cameroonian schools. I am currently working on a collection of poems in Spanish and another in Ewondo, a variety of the Beti language spoken in three of Cameroon's ten regions as well as in parts of neighbouring Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

hello Mr Azonga,
i really like what you do in poetry. in this particular poem i would like some points to be highlighted: you would have said "chanté" instead of "chante" and "mésure" instead of "mesure". Did you mean "deux poids de mésures"? or "deux poids,deux mésures"? I understand however that your computer might be english making; that is why there are missing accents in the poem. But you know such as pronunciation is worthy in english, accents are discontournable in french.
i wish you the best.
Hi,
I meant "deux poids deux mesures".
Also, contrary to what you think, the word "mesure" (and all others in that family) does not take an accent in French.
