AFRICA GHANA LIFE

FIE! MOGYA NO NKA W’ANIM!

Fie! Artificial fires of the night

Fie! You who shine off and on

Jumping from the mountain of darkness 

To the mountain of brightness

Scattering arranged futures

And pulling hairs of the protected

Fie! You nighters like weak but dangerous fireflies!

II

I wear great clothes of metal

Metal to you, cotton to day workers

So you can dance “atopre”

Hunt like lions and lionesses

Fly like eagles on dope

You still won’t have me

I am painted Red with your antidote

III

When you say,

I pray

When you fill your weapon bay

I lift my hand, and they decay

Every tactics to have my happiness delayed

Is rebutted by a consuming fire pay

So shame!

Night glowers

Shame and shame

You have failed

And will continue to fail

Tue!

Did I just spit in your face?

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. :)
