CARNIVOROUS TEETH OF ALIEN RELIGIONS

We were like flowing rivers
Free
Worshipping through nature
Matters of guns, bombs and brutal killings were rare
Until our arms embraced
Our minds did lace
Our traditions turned mud
And washed ashore
Alien worshippings

II
Did we not know
That their teeth will one day seek blood?
Did we not know
That their thoughts would slash throats?
Did we not know
That what was washed
Was what could protect?
Imminent
Sacrifices
Intense
Serpents
Now we cry?
Why cry when we worship?
Why cry when we allow freedom of roaming alien gods?
Why cry when the youth turn cut-throats?
We saw and still see their murderous boats
And we cry still boarded
Enjoy the blood bath
And anticipate your future abattoir on screans
Abattoir with you or your children as the chained meat

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. :)
