SUICIDAL STARS (TANKA)

Minds with jobs live through

Snobs. An empty tin of milk

Fears no known kicking

Kick it here, kick it there, it

Will follow without complaints

II

Stars’ stories are told

In so many different tongues

Their successes thrived:

They adorned the naked sky

Until their faded and dimmed

III

They sat in sadness

Watching their own former spots

In melancholy

Their uselessness dancing to

The drums of shame in their heads

IV

They could die by the

Rope hanged by even bedbugs

So I say to these

Let not your bright shine today

Flaw you into thinking wrong

V

You are fire whiles you

Are still glowing with red heat

When the rains get you

Under their jurisdiction, 

Ants will build their rooms in you

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. :)

I love the phase a empty tin fears no kicking, it will follow without complaints. A can, a star, man. It’s not whether the cup is half empty or half full it’s whether there is a cup that sits in front of you
