IF I WERE PRESIDENT MAHAMA

If i were President Mahama

Friends will be at the ends

Of my throne

Because too many thoughts

Of closeness, flies truth airs to the unknown

II

If i were President Mahama

i would have eyes and eyes

i would have ears and ears

In all breeding places of monies

i would trust all but none

i would never cry dum and flirt with sↄ

And would use ears instead of a hot heart always

III

If I were President Mahama

I would travel to tongues

Of those close

And get those weedy ones to go weed themselves

Because i wouldn’t want to get lost in any

IV

If i were President Mahama

For every coin lost

The goats will be slaughtered 

In celebration

To appease the gods of free corruption

For every guinea fowl which will cross the border

A guinea fowl police would be cuffed

Until the guinea fowl is back

V

If i were President Mahama

i would never want to be a dead goat

i wouldn’t even wish to be a live goat

Goats are like marks of stubbornness

Why will I want to be its dead version?

VI

If i were President Mahama

I would embrace opposition

Begging for hugs of mind

To stand the test of all times

VII

If i were President Mahama

i would spread the wings of covering geniuses

Helping Kantankas and others

Like I am doing with Horseman

And would continue promoting Ghana made

Too bad I am not President Mahama

And I am hidden in so much doom

That the little sↄ does not make me visible
