Christmas
(Poésie)
10-01-2005
by AJI JAMES
Human choirs join the
Heavenly angels and saints.
Praises to God the Savior is born.
Man at last is saved from his sins.
The church bells toll,
A stream of colours flows towards the church.
For some it’s a year since they last came,...

I'll miss you
(Poésie)
21-12-2004
by AJI JAMES
The light that brightened my future,
The one that gave me hope in despair,
The love that I knew in a strange land.

(Poésie)
5-08-2004
by AJI JAMES
No more traditional robes,
No more traditional caps,
But mini-skirts, shabas, suits…
Local nutritious drinks have been abandoned.
Whisky, beer, champagne, brandy, have been embraced.
No more respect for the village chief,
No more...
Nostalgia

by AJI JAMES
A certain pain grips me,
The weight of loneliness unbearable.
Far, far away from my friends and family.
I think of the rains, sunshine,
I remember the planting and the harvesting,
The trees, the green grass, the abundant fruits, the running...
The Amina Gates
(Poésie)

by AJI JAMES
Hustling behind the walls,
Calling of room numbers,
The boys watch and wait.
One, five, ten minutes go by,
Then she finally appears.
She had to check her make-up
Two, three, five, seven times,
Before finally coming out.
Then the...
The Blow
(Poésie)

by AJI JAMES
Yes, it came to him as a blow,
He had never expected this.
When his friends had told him,
That she was just a girl like others,
He had paid no attention.
And now, that night reappears to him,
How she had made promises of faithfulness....

Whose Military?
(Poésie)
5-08-2004
by AJI JAMES
I thought it was the people’s military,
For their wages is the tax-payer’s money.
Their uniforms are bought with the people’s money.

And that they are to protect the citizens....
