Our fingers did rule
Before sticks made them grave fools
Then noodles called forks
After spoons conquered ladles
Yet China stood with chopsticks
II
Darkness too did rule
When the moon took rest after
The sun yawned and went
To sleep, electricity
Now rules adding moon to naught
III
As long as air blows
Everything is a traveller
From shapes to sizes
Nature’s “originalty”
Gives respect of reference

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. :)
