I am a lost lioness
Lost for losing her young
Lost for not watching her sail along
In my un-cleverness
My punishment?
Mercy, conscience, have mercy!
Whip me not like a wayward child
Whip me not like a stubborn one
Whip me not
I know I have erred
Erred because I live in a wrong world
Where right has been shelved for long

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. :)

Dearest Cecilia,
Please, try not to carry the burden of responsibility of a broken world. I attempted this impossible feat as well and the weight of it nearly crushed me. Please know we each must carry the consequences of our own choices. We can guide and aid (to a point) the ones we love so they can avoid the spear filled pits in this life but we cannot stop them from willingly walking into them with their eyes wide open discarding our counsel. The only thing we can do is try to guide them on the more difficult path they have chosen to tread. However, if they continue to ignore the wisdom of your counsel then they must learn to walk alone upon the path they chose. God is good and always uses our “mistakes” for our good or the good of another. We must be strong enough, with his help, to survive the pain that comes along with that mistake. I pray mighty blessings upon you.
