PROBLEMS WITH ROMAN NUMERALS (CRAZY STANZAS)

As many try to get emancipated

From problems which have roots so constipated

Many are those whose problems are cemented

And only need bulldozers to break them together

Them; problems and beings

II

As students fear breathing questions

With their countless Roman numerals

So are many breathers living with problems

With countless Roman numerals

Numerals you have never met

III

Ama Attaa has all body parts

But cries for lack of money

Papers which are not legs

Well, let’s say they can buy fake legs

IV

Akosua Tawiah has one leg

She cries all the time for another leg

Kwaku Gyan has no leg, no hands

Looks at them and cries louder

But still Efo Kwadwo laughs although he lacks a brain

What irony!

V

No matter what your problems

Someone sees you as the heaven

Being blind is sad

But there are still blind men who are crippled

And there are still deaf, blind, crippled and mentally disordered beings

Who smile no matter the rivers of saliva that flows

Try to shift

You’ll see the many who want your space

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. :)
