Sadek RUHMALY (Île Maurice): poème pour Aurore Perraud.

Aurore - A name so Divine
God Himself made the Dawn of each New Day of His Universe synonymous with it.
A Destiny so magical,
That Mother Africa, birthplace of Civilisation, is mesmerised by this Iconic Muse.
Delicate Defiance in Essence and Spirit,
Stark contrast to Eurocentric Shades of Pale.
Panache of African Earthy Colours,
So challenging to Oriental Bias and Religious Deviance.
Hearts and Spirit of a populace at her gracious steps– in trusted Effervescence.
Tears of Joy and Hope carved her cheeks in the face of such Aspiration scented in Faith.
Aurore is an Emblem of our Rainbow Republic in a new political Dawn.
Aurore is a refreshing blossom of sheer Chazalian Originality,
Aurore’s aura of such ilk as would have surpassed Malcolm’s Imagination.
Aurore infused with subtle energy as to shatter Worshippers of Bigotry and Racism.
Aurore rises as a Divinely Graced Sphinx from the stale ashes of Political Mummies.
Amidst cowardly postures of Hate mongers graciously paid from Republican Gold.
New Masters with such primitive Insolence,
Defiant to the essence of Human Dignity,
Invisible Vampire relish of Despotic Delusion.
Our Obscurantist époque of primitive Bestial Energies.
Something is Rotten in the Tropical Horizon.
Such is the new Flavour of our Republican Age?
Such is the Tune of this New Age Symphony of Rainbows?
Such is the Audacity of Fools wrapped in public office fists with religious bigotry as Emblem?
Such is the Dream of a new Dawn for Aurore, with such irrational Hatred?
Such is the Futility of our Republican Principled Law Tablets?
Such is the corrosive Decadence of our Values of Republican Renaissance?
Such is our shameless Usurpation of our Human Inheritance rooted on Blood and Suffering?
Aurore must be synonymous to Light of Tropical Sun at the crack of Dawn,
A signal to all Creatures to awake with renewed Hope and Aspirations.
Are the Springs of Natural Justice compromised with Filth and void Agendas?
Aurore embodies our Republican Mothers and Sisters with the Essence of Eve herself.
Aurore symbolises the fresh born from our Republican Womb at a New Dawn of Reconciliation.
Aurore encapsulates the breaking of the Mould of Enslaved Political Norms.
Such Dawn as permeates our besotted Bias and blind Bigotry.
Such Dawn as frees the Space for our Dreams and Visions of Life beyond Existential Dusk.
Such Dawn as ushers in Brave New Worlds of Opportunities and Humanistic Noble Values.
Allow me to sob to expiate the Sins of our enemies of Decency and Grace.
Allow me to shudder to absorb the Tremors of vile and vicious intents of religious rot.
Allow me to prostrate to gather on my back the Humility of Forgiveness and Atonement.
Allow me to smile with embarrassing dignity to grasp Aurore bleeding Fragility.
In lame Stupidity and foul Irresponsibility lies the ilk of Greatness and Saintly Suns.
In Cowardly Chorus lies the Symphony of a single Voice of Defiant Dignity.
In Chaos lies the genius of Chivalry in Human Spirit and Valour.
Nay, Aurore shall not yield to their perverted petty Postures,
Nay, Aurore shall not bend under their wild whimsical Whips,
Nay, Aurore shall not shatter from their Primitive Pretentions so weak and futile.
Vox Populi akin to Vox Dei shatters the Mirage of Kingly Dreams of blind Impertinence.
Fools cling to decadent Hope of Fruits of crude Humiliation and Perversion,
Wisdom hints that such is the admission of weakness and Primitive Art of Life.
Allow Aurore to cherish the Republican Belief laced with Elevated Values.
Allow Aurore to cherish the Republican Hope,
Aurore exudes equal weight as synchronised Shaper of our National Destiny.
In troubles Times, a blink of Hope is the best Challenge to blinkered Bias.
Amen and Shalom, Aurore.
