The man with the broomy beard
Sweeps the road and clears the gutters
He defies all the insults and taunts
To keep the Ghanaian royal centre clean
Oko the dancer dances the streets
Oko the wicked murders some rubbish
Oko the ambitious wants a palace out the street
Oko the cruel imposes neatness
His vision
And mission
Clash and bounce like bouncy balls
As his audience shout and cry
Cholera calls his competence to book
Mahama steps down from his throne
Of insults, to clear the gutters
Fearing a Mahama-Cholera caption
Ghana my homeland
Ghana my home
Even to clear dirt
We still must be told
What brains do we keep
For our thoughts?
Dying but still eating
Food garnished by dirt, sad.

My heartfelt sympathies go to families of those who lost their dear ones to cholera during the recent outbreak. Let’s keep Ghana clean.
