ABOMINANTS

Ghana-Flag-Map

A kingdom with many a generations,

A kingdom sitting on too much wealth,

A kingdom worth adoration,

Is crumbling due to ill health

And its doctors keep poison-injecting

It’s now time to act

REFRAIN

I spit on ignorance

Enlightenment!

I need assurance

I pee on greed

Justice, gun down and let us be freed

I ease on corruption

Common sense, do give instruction

That one is all
One’s fall, defeat for all

II

Nature’s blessing like sunrise

Is dimming like angry clouds

“Gboom gagagagagaga”

Its thunders yell

Its rains mostly cry like a starving child

Why on earth can’t hired drivers be mild?

REFRAIN

I spit on ignorance

Enlightenment!

I need assurance

I pee on greed Justice gun down and let us be freed

I ease on corruption

Common sense, do give instruction

That one is all
One’s fall, defeat for all

III

“Cocoa-ase Krachi” sit under your growings

Use your machetes to cut through the hard ignorance

And find your power

Fishermen, cast your nets for answers

Answers to the biting pain of poverty

And show the strength that reside in your thumbs

Let all workers know their parts

To smoke out rats who steal national cakes

In the dark

REFRAIN

I spit on ignorance

Enlightenment!

I need assurance

I pee on greed Justice gun down and let us be freed

I ease on corruption

Common sense, do give instruction

That one is all
One’s fall, defeat for all

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. :)
