A cool city
A cool city with hot air
A hot city with cool air
A city where the hamattan whips
A city without traffic
A city that can feed you at low cost
A city that fears rain but not cars
A city where inhabitants are poor
But settlers are rich
A city which can’t tolerate challenges in tribe
A city where many pray but can be intolerant
A city that shows love to all
A city whose toilet facilities are the many vast bare lands
A quiet city where dreams abound
But women are mostly out of the equation
Especially its women
A city whose youth mostly perish in motor accidents
A city of grave superstition
A city of love where none is alone
A city where laws are mostly meant to be broken
A city that believes in reciprocal respect
Tamale…
