RUNNING WITH NO CHASER

Abotsi is crying lion

In the free mount Zion

When all heads

Know lions don’t live in Zion

Afua, so what do we do to help him?

If we do ignore

He will make shyness snore

And will feel love’s bore

And can’t come to the fore

But what do we do when lions don’t live in Zion?

III

Afua go and peep

Pretend to take a leap

Use a huge stick to whip

His imaginary lion who leaps

I will stay here and later tell him lions don’t live in Zion

Maybe then, he’ll laugh

Maybe then, he’ll cry

Maybe then, he will know that

His thoughtly ghosts did do the chasing

And say “oh! So lions really don’t live in Zion?”

Or maybe he will be a bore

And pretend to be anger’s hard core

And throw all the tantrums in his store

Hoping we will fall and adore

And, haha ahahaha, stress on his fact that lions live in Zion

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. :)
