ANANSE THE CON MAN

If Ntikuma studies Ananse

The future must weep

And all knowledge must be kept

Far away from his house

Ananse is the puzzle

Which rattles wisdom

To dupe gargantuan gallants

And leaves loopholes of escape

III

Ananse is the master planner

Who flirts with death

And emerges victorious

That’s Ananse, Kwaku Ananse

An orator like a wise poet

A dancer like a god

An orchestrator of fate

That’s Ananse, Kwaku Ananse

Standing for all that is bad

Smiling for all that brings pain

A blood understudy is danger,

Danger to the innocent future

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. :)
