A free spirit springs up
And a good mind kicks it off
One’s self is not of essence if he shuts up
And in silence helps another off
To the land beyond the sea
Becoming a human ghost that looks upon you
As you do your many rounds
Under his known grounds
What will I do to adopt longer?
The Holy Bible teaches to be a neighbours keeper
But the traditionalists believe
‘He whom the gods love die young’
And this world has given me a huge responsibility
Of being another’s keeper
What do I do?
Start snapping and cheeking to bribe the gods?
Superstitiousness of the Ghanaian conscience.
