MODERNITY AND ITS REAPING

It seems long ago;

Kings were in charge

Kings with authority were in charge

It seems long ago when mouths were closed

It seems long ago when living was simple

Money, gold, diamond and silver had no murderous hands in ruling

It seems long ago

When apparels were simple and the feet were the best sources of leg protection

It seems long ago

When we breathed the scent of the earth without inhaling sicknesses herbs can’t cure

It seems long ago when dust was used for building and not blinding

It seems long ago when theories of headaches were not forced into poor heads

It seems long ago when fame was nothing to die for

It seems long ago, long long ago

When politics was nothing but a word unknown

And peace ruled the earth

Now mouths are widely opened

Titled kings bow to their own shadows

As overall bosses kneel to ascend godship prominence

To eventually kill beings like fowls for their buffet

With sharp machetes of greed

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
