Weak? No! Never!

Flowers from Ghana are never weak

And I’ll tell you why

Long ago, while warriors were killed

And the king was caught

And what bravers there were hid,

Yaa Asantewaa stood tall

And she was a flower from Ghana

III

Even those who raised their hands

And flagged gender opposites as lords,

Mostly birthed, farmed, domestically worked

More than the lords,

Could those flowers be weak?

Beijing helped

As shadows brought their beings

Into the spotlight

Pursuing the freedom fight

But let me not hear you say

We are weak flowers,

We are bold flowers

Flowers capable of all

If only all subduction will die off

In minds of our wilting flowers

We can fly like planes

Even in bad weather

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. :)
