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
