Rene and Yero,

I don't know what to say. Thanks for your very kind words. You guys are also 
making as great a contribution as anyone to our struggle for sanity and 
sovereignty. Each of us puts in our little contributions and it's good to 
see that they are appreciated.

Yero, I'm not sure that I deserve a Goerge Orwell II label. My little works 
are very far from being capable of comparison to that great man's classical 
works. But thanks anyway for this kind gesture.

I enjoyed reading both poems and rededicate them to both of you, to 
BambaLaye and to all members of the online Gambian community.

Baba
