THAN THE SWORD

A mouth keeps opening

Dressed by a walrus moustache

Its door at every opening

Shows two crooked chairs

Which tell tales of collapsing in kola

But voices dressed in words so horrid

Dawdle to battle the strong

And guess what?

They win

 

A mouth unworthy

Standing trial and winning it all

Overtaking bullets

Overtaking machetes

Overtaking fists

Overtaking bombs

Overtaking all defences

Who dares to stand?

None

 

Because he clutched the pen

Which gave his weak state protection

To battle even with his chairs in near ruins

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. :)

Words are weapons they can cause pain, squash a dream, their power is endless. I’ve been on both ends , a giver and a taker. Yes the war can be won or lost by just a word. It’s sad to think how times it’s has happen to me. These are the tragedies of life . Human kindness is not forever flowing. Be it tongue , pen or a look a lost soul is never found.
