Armless and Harmless by Kushu-Solii Ngah A, Sacerdos Simplex: A Painful Reflection

Armless and harmless,
October 1st 2017
Behold the oppressed and the suppressed
From Victoria to Ako
Armless and Harmless in files
Missing the long long days
When all were humans before all.

On their path there stands
Egged as sherpherds they stand,
Armed with sherpherds staffs they say,
Coming to defend the flock they seem,
From invisible ghosts of time and space.

Lo,
The innocent in files,
Chanting chants of freedom from burdens,
Too weighty for civil minds,
Missing the age-old home,
Where each and all were homey,
Where all were equal fore the jurist,
Where I was cos we were,
Now Utopia in hindsight.

Longing for a Moses
To tell the pharaoh of their pain,
Longing for a Daniel to glimpse,
And give judgment with no swords,
And judge with right not might.
Armless and Harmless they come,
Truth and justice their robe.

Behold the men of war,
Guised to shepherd the flock,
Four score and fitheen the flock,
Of the hundred sheep there is
Armless and Harmless they come,
With leaves wailing for peace.
The egged shepherds now hatch bullets
To butcher the armless and harmless.
In fear and haste, the harmless and armless,
Strip the Wood of the lifeless Cloth of Symbol,
For they clothed for peace,
Are hatching butchers knives,
Towards the armless and harmless.

Soldiers out with one rule,
To Steal, to kill, to destroy,
To loot, to maim, to torture
To lie, to threaten and wipe the marks,
Since all lizards are prostrate,
Shoot all the dogs, no sifting,
For the sublunary mover of all earthly moves
Has so ruled.

They say for peace they are,
They say for unity they are.
Peace through the bullets?
Unity through arms?
Peace and unity with corpses?
They profess they are for dialogue.
Dialogue with the butchered or with the butcher?

The butchers stole and were caught,
By the harmless and armless,
And they nipped the armless and harmless,
In "lawful self defence".
Theirs seem the conscience,
filled to the brim with bloody Geld,
To destroy even all signs of harvesting,
Only the Oligarchs matter
And not even any thereof,
The armless and harmless flock.

Do away with the footprints,
Of all ordered by the oligarchs.
And then do all to tell the world,
"It was all a fairy tale, of dogs,and fools and grumblers",
Just like a sugar cube in the sea,
Of those who matter to the oligarchs.

Is this the promised end?
They mourn from hamlets to cities,
For the armless and harmless,
Maimed, butchered and concealed,
No way to oil the Cadaver,
No way to find the carcasses,
No glimpses of the deader,
No remains for the knell
No still for the hearse.

The silence of the Great Mover is deafening,
To those ruled by impulses,
And even the patient cry and say,
"Give us patience immediately".
For evil seem to prevail,
For the killer is raised and the killed jailed,
The wicked seem to smile,
And sinless, armless and harmless Job to say
"I know He lives no matter what".

Hundreds are butchered by they who shield,
They mask as shepherds of the armless and harmless,
And hatch their bullets of destruction,
Egged in the shield of harmlessness.

A MUST READ FROM NELLBORG STEVE: Cooperation is now very Crucial

I have listened to some audio messages sent to me by compatriots on GZ who are completely discouraged regarding the struggle. One is from Alex Bianda, Dugimas and the other two are from AGC women. Many have also forwarded to me, the controversial statements from the AGC and the ARCC regarding the upcoming conference. Statements loaded with arrogance, disdain for the actions of the IG and preconditions whereas the AGC organised conference in Canada had assured those who cared to listen that there wasn't going to be any pre conditions for their conference which we now understand is cooking something fishy. Their aim of producing and sharing such messages of discouragement at a time when the Mayor of Mamfe, Ekema, Njume, Lysinge, etc. are out on a mission to discourage our people from surging on with the revolution leaves many to wonder if they are in this revolution to free homeland or just to project themselves as notorious warlords? They load their messages with lies and emotion with the intention of showing our people that the government they believe in is incompetent hoping that when people get discouraged and disgruntled with the IG they will join the AGC. Unfortunately, that is not happening. What is rather happening is that many are becoming wearyand withdrawing their support for the revolution. Some regret that they have lost relatives while leaders abroad continue to fight one another. The messages they receive from SCBC these days cement their negative perceptions of the struggle.

From every indication some groups have outlived their usefulness and now become destructive to this revolution.

My people, when you receive such destructive messages DON'T SHARE. PLEASE DON'T. If such messages meet you in a group take the time and show every member of that group that those promoting the hate messages are power mongers out to discourage us probably on the pay role of lrc to bring down the revolution. I have been doing that myself. Criticisms should be done where positive actions can be taken if they are genuin. Otherwise they are out to dent the image of our trusted leaders and the struggle in general with negative outcomes.

I received one disturbing call from a compatriot who was disturbed that Mr. Lucas Cho Ayaba had asked people to paint the Amba flag on their IDs. He wondered if the diaspora had now decided that everyone on GZ should be killed. I asked him not to worry because that particular "leader" doesn't care about the well being of our people because to him we all are puns to be used to foster his malicious intentions. Within two minutes I convinced him that that particular man lives in wonderland.

We all should be ready to defend this revolution from the hands of people who are sick in the head. My people, DEFEND your revolution from disgruntled men and women who would stop at nothing to bring down this revolution because the people have bestowed their trust in the IG. Its now clear that this revolution is facing threats from lrc and from some forces that have implanted themselves within this revolution. This is an existential war which means that if we fail, we all are doomed. While we fight lrc we must also dedicate ample time to fight the enemies from within because they tend to be far more dangerous. Lrc has been killing our people but the more pain they inflict on us the stronger the resolve to fight has been. Now with the incessant and unfounded attacks on the IG from those who are supposed to be within our people are losing the heart to fight.

I propose 6 initial ways to handle those killing the enthusiasm of our people:

1. Don't fund them.

2. Don't share the divisive messages they produce.

3. Shame anyone who shares such messages in groups where you belong and prove them wrong.

4. If you are the admin of such a group REMOVE such a person immediately.

5. If such a message gets to you, after taking action forward it to any member of the IG who will forward to the appropriate quarters for a well deserved response.

6. Henceforth in your little gatherings on GZ where you discuss the struggle, inform our people about the incompetent power mongers who double as fraud stars doing everything to bring down the struggle. Do it as often as possible so when our people receive messages from them, no matter how much they mask it, they will understand that the messages are coming from the enemies within. Don't forget to tell them that in every revolution there are people who must try to tear it apart and bring it down.

We cannot afford to have hoodlums discourage our people at this time.

Please take this message to every platform where you belong.

The struggle continues!
