SHAMEFROMANIACS

vote

I stand on a branch of sincerity

And watch as they march

To the office of parties:

Over ambitiousness

Corruption

Unfairness

Murder

Tragedies

Shame

Scandals

Hatred

Each in his or her own filth

But when they emerge

I see them draped in beautiful

Party colours

Looking so beautiful and tempting

So hidden none gets to see their true nature

They then become the fascination of the world

How can the nation flourish

When the brightness of atrocities

Blind the good?

I’m still watching

Only that I’m watching from the ground

Because the branch of sincerity

Was severed by an unknown hunter

A good thing this mouth still works

Please stop putting beautiful clothes

On these heinous atrocities

Eyes will not see now

But will definitely see in the end

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. :)
