When I’m so poor and hungry!

Only you are my life bread

When I’m so lonely and sad

You and only you are my comfort.

Former Liberian President Charles Taylor has now been found guilty of crimes against humanity he was indicted for in 2003 while serving as a sitting President of the Republic. It was in Accra, Ghana where he was served an indictment writ by the Special Court for Sierra Leone while attending a peace conference on Liberia, but with the intervention of the Ghanaian authority, he did not honor the indictment but immediately cut short the conference and returned to Liberia. Of course, the 51st National Legislature at the time did not give credence to the indictment as loyalists of the regime at the time claimed that the move was a conspiracy politically motivated.

The road that I must walk

Before finding me an honorable grave

Is too long, too rocky, too hilly and bushy

It crosses a very large and forceful river

Miles and miles into the deep dark forest

Where hungry lions and leopards do hide

So frightened, it seems I lost my way

The deep dark forest is so large and thick

The rocky foot paths in the way are so many

The mountain is must cross is so large and tall

The waterfall is so forceful and noisy

The crossing point on the rock is so slippery!

Dear Bishop Bennie D. Warner,
As stated in our first and second letters addressed to you, we, a group of concerned citizens of the Republic of Liberia, having heard and read about your displeasure and disappointment over the fact that Liberians rewarded with political leadership those who caused their suffering and death and the destruction of our country, write to comment on your observation and thoughts.
