It gives hope
Only to stir more probe
It gives an authoritative voice
Only to give more respect and prestige
It gives you the power
To deflate egos of well structured beings
It blows good air
Only to bite deep until shameful blood oozes
When it suddenly abandons you
For your hardworking opponent
Papers that taunts
Papers with mouths
Papers with voices
And discriminates not against the good or the bad
Paper without sympathy
Paper whose name differs from tongue to tongue
But wields power
Sika for the Akan Ghanaian
Ega for the Ewe Ghanaian
Kudi for the Hausa Ghanaian
Money for the English
L’argent for the French
Ton in Hangul
You are really a strong contender
For the breather.
