SOLDIERS AND SWIMMERS

They came in the flood

They came ready to battle

They came knowing there were no in-betweens but death or life.

They swam in the ocean

They swam without fins

They swam knowing sharks were hunting for their feed

But their creator gave them no options.

The battle for dead eyes has been won

The fastest swerved the sharks

So let them triumph on the shores of grace

Let the bank of the shore  give them a huge smile

Let the water of the ocean quench their thirst

Let the bearers of the ocean look kindly on them

They are tired

Tired from all the battles

Tired from all the swimming

Into this unknown earthly land.

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. :)

This a good one, I love fighting a cause, yes there isn’t a gray area but the reward out weights the risk. You have to go big to believe and when your out there it’s not about life or death, it’s about the cause. This passion, this truth, that’s why some write, that’s why some create. We are on the front line fighting for our cause
Ok there is a bigger picture here when it comes to politics and freedom but to me it’s all the same just one is yes a bigger picture
