SPIRITS AND WITCHES

Agbozo spends all night and day

Looking in the pastor’s way

Thinking that will Satan flay

And cause his goods to sell themselves

Hopping on baskets after banking their sales

Ha! This mind, isn’t it a playful thing?

II

Yaa Foowaa prays like a praying mantis

Crying to God and being an apprentice

To the wife of the bishop without malice

Thinking a man will fall right from the sky

And grace her body which thirst for a bath

Yes, that body which craves for neat clothes

III

Akua says she’s chased by spirits and witches

Calling on God’s soldiers to chase them as bitches

Tearing fearful wizards apart to give her riches

When in fact her attitude needs mighty stitches

And her grinding mouths needs a pulled out plug

And her mirrors need their shine for reflection

IV

Spirits are unfortunate

Witches are unfortunate

They take all blames of owners so fortunate

Drummed painfully on their heads by horrid excuses

But when truths rear their lightful heads

The curse is on Satan whose mouth is gagged by non-existence

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. :)
