ONE GHANA

In this dark road

With many horrible noises like that of a toad

With moving shadows

And strange whistles from the lost meadows

I stand here with only a comrade

Under no shade

With only a torch light

And some guns in case of a fight

 

I can be swallowed by a python

No matter my position in a marathon

I was trained for the challenge

This compared to training is strange

Lord of darkness

I crave for your awareness

In this and the many dark nights

Even if I take One Ghana from all lights

 

Many talk about the One Ghana

Not that it’s on our banner

But take a look at today’s Ghana

And ask if this monthly thing can feed manna

 Our leaders are against it, it is a sin,

And must be thrown into the bin

But even the drivers condone and we need gin

To fight fair the cold and win
