HERE AND NOW

Here and now

Cut the throat of all ailing

And let’s see to their deaths

And take off all their feathers

Cut them into pieces

And throw them to the dogs

After burning all that was taken

So as to ensure we never see their pestering selves

In the future meant for us

Here and now

Wash off all slimies which taint your hands

With the soap of bravery

Using the towel of trust

And ending with a mastery of hand extension

To hold, and pull me close

Into the future meant for us

III

Here and now

Just here and now

Pull those covers off your introductory mind

And let them look and be attuned to this face

So they can introduce better

To all those who matter

In the future meant for us

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. :)

The power in your words and vision will change the world for the better. Never let the fire die within you as God is using the power within you to reveal truth.
