George Shadrack Kamanda Poems
Lies at the start are dismissal
Lies at the end are denials
Lies of the present are worrying
Lies of the past are troubling
...
Some have detached roofs over their heads
Some have broken bricks to cover their homes.
And Some are moving about in disarray,
Just like the life they live in,
...
Rivers running dry,
As if the continent is deprive
Their goals so high,
But their actions full of lies.
...
Oh Mama Africa,
Just one day, you can smile again,
And someday, you can rise again.
A rise that will come as a surprise,
...
It glitters for the privileged
It bitters for the unprivileged
To many, it is called a fine gem stone
With it shiny looks and precious goods
...
I think about our history and not our mystery
I worry about our exploitation, not our purported degeneration
I imagine the blankness of our continent scenery
I puzzled over our rules of strenuous institutions
...
From the fringes of the western mountains
To the western shores of Freetown
From the clutches of colonialism
To the spirit of self-independence
...
George Shadrack Kamanda Biography
I was born in Sierra Leone, West Africa. I see myself as a poet and a global citizen. After finishing high school in Sierra Leone, I traveled to the United States of America in 2012 to further my education and to reunite with my lovely mother after ten years of been apart. I currently hold a Bachelors of Art from Saint Joseph's University. I’m very active and passionate about my service to others and humanity as a whole. My passion and inspirational drive for education and service have led me into series of outstanding professional experiences as a volunteer and as a student. From 2008 to 2009, I participated, and I was one of the recipients of the Youth for Human Right International (YHRI) educational scholarship in Sierra Leone after completing the program as a student and as a mentor. During my time as a human right activist, I taught the Universal Declaration of Human Right in 15 secondary schools in Sierra Leone. In America, I have served as a mentor for the Model United Nations program under the auspices of The World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. During my internship, I worked as a mentor for middle school students and discusses contemporary global issues and their role in changing the status quo by becoming active global citizens themselves. Also, I studied abroad and interned at the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium. During my internship, I learned to view the world as a global village while taking lectures and seminars of European culture, politics, diplomacy and law and their relationship with other nations. Finally, I seek to develop into a great social scientist writer and poet in years to come. For this reason, I believe my numerous opportunities and professional interests will prepare me not only to make an impact in my country, Sierra Leone but also Africa and the world as a whole. God bless and Thank you. With Respect, George Shadrack Kamanda)
The Best Poem Of George Shadrack Kamanda
Why Lie?
Lies at the start are dismissal
Lies at the end are denials
Lies of the present are worrying
Lies of the past are troubling
So why lie?
Lies in words are challenging
Lies in actions are repressing
Lies for wants are degrading
Lies for gains are window dressing
So why lie?
Lies of the mind are misleading
Lies of the eyes are caressing
Lies against others are transgressing
Lies for the self are distressing. So why lie?

George Shadrack Kamanda Quotes
Until Africans can treat themselves as Africans, until Africans can continue the dreams and aspirations of their greatest leaders, until Africans can share the love and respect been preached by our greats, until Africans can embrace collectivity instead of individuality as a way of life, and until Africans can cultivate the minds of its population through education, culture, and spirituality; there will be no African dream, and there will be no African rising.
