NDABUKIRE IMANA YUNAMUYE U RWANDA= MES REMERCIEMENTS A
IMANA QUI
A REDRESSE LE RWANDA
Ce poème est de
la catégorie “Impakanizi. Sekarama est mort avant de pouvoir le déclamer devant
le roi Rudahigwa, son destinataire. Son but était de présenter ce roi comme la
consolation du pays après la destitution et le bannissement de son père Yuhi V
Musinga. Dans ce poème, Sekarama fait ses adieux au Roi et à la vie terretre
car il était déjà presque à cent ans. Ce poème constitue un excellent témoigne
de l’eschatologie rwandaise traditionnelle. Il donne à penser que mourir est
une émigration dans l’au-delà pour aller passer toute l’éternité à la cour d’Imana avec ses amis dans une fête sans
déclin.
