POOR “AFRI” POOR “CA”

africa

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She lies like the vast ocean

Knowing not her tenants’ mission

With five legs and 49 intestines

She feels like a Frankenstein’s Monster

 

She created a world for herself

And stayed back watching it glow

But the glow turned into tears which flow

Without a thought to her soiled self

 

49 within, 5 without

“Afri” in the mud “ca” in the gutter

Nothing for her

Her caretakers are the takers

 

A penny in

And the torn pocket picks

Poor “Afri”

Poor “ca”

You look like you’re beyond prayers

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. :)

To create a world is to be safe. Yet to step out of this is always a risk. But there isn’t a reward for not stepping. There are tears, there is losss. But this is life . To soil or not that is the question.
