DEATH

THE GHOST OF MY GRANDMOTHER

You were my friend

I never disrespected you

Your instructions I carried

Your worries I quenched

I thought you saying goodbye in your sleep

Meant your instructions have ended

So why are you stuck in my head

Criticising everything I do

With a whip of conscience?

Please show your face

And stop haunting

A whipping for good spirit

Is too immortal to fight

I have no hands and no eyes

To fight you

Like a soldier defeated, I surrender

Grandma, please be gentle on me.

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. :)
