Earth closes its mouth
When lions ‘void porcupines
Need I mention more?
II
Long, long, long ago,
When lion was known as the king
He took liberties
III
When his game finished
He decided porcupine
Is fit to replace
IV
He meant to hit it
Only for thousands of pins
To stand in shooting
V
With tail in between
Thighs, lion run vacating his throne
That’s trouble-calling
VI
So let the earth rest
As you mark troubled places
So rivers lie cool

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. :)
