IN THE LAND OF THE GHOST

Image

The sad cannot cry

The weepy cannot weep

The sleeper cannot sleep

The talker cannot talk

The tickled cannot laugh

In the land of the feisty ghost

 

They’ve all heard of it

How humans were slaughtered without sharp objects,

How lions were silenced and made stuck

How children saw many heads on one head

How many have heard unheard sounds

But none can say I saw

In the land of the feisty ghost

 

So they sit still when sad

They close their eyes to bar tears

They keep their eyes open when sleepy

They hold their mouths to keep the words seated

They refuse to do anything as the winds of fear blow

In the land of the feisty ghost.

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. :)

In the land of the ghost indeed.
How would this be like?
I wish not to but just a second flash would hold it well for my pause.
Deep and touching!
