CORPSES FOR SALE!

Corpses for sale!

Many buy with huge sums

Putting them in the river of the earth waiting for its sail

Corpses for sale!

Many run dressed in expensive clothes

Hoping to win the fame bale

Corpses for sale!

Cars parade with expensive paintings

While mouths with their keys proudly brag, “this came yesterday through the mail”

Corpses for sale!

All the ‘glitterers’ have famished mouths begging for crumbs

But they are in the fail.

Corpses for sale!

A corpse per pence, a corpse per pound

They are all being bought for the unappreciative mouth of the earth.

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. :)
