INDECISION

She says she wants a perm
Then she changes her mind
She wants a jelly
Her friends laughed at her
She wants corn roll
Her face taunts her
She wants rasta

II
Long rasta is not faster
She wants the short huge ones
After completion she looks into the mirror and screams
What a horror!!!
“Undo undo undo”
She is like an indecisive bird
Being chased by a hungry hunter
Her God given is beautiful
Some even create its likeness
But she eventually chooses a perm
Because it makes her look like a white doll;
One white children play with
And scatter in exploration and destruction

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. :)
