LONGINGS

If all I long

Could fit into a song

I would compose that song

And cut my tongue

Because I’ll be among

Those who’ll sound the gong

Of bare hearted forever song

And nothing could be wrong

III

All will sing my song

Both old and young

And I’ll stand emotionally strong

Even without a tongue

Now I stand face and body strong

While emotions run in the wrong

With heads of oblong

And bells sounding by step, loud ding dong

Only my ears hear

Only my thoughts fear

Only my eyes tear

I’m like a lost teddy bear

Which can no longer bear being a dear

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. :)
