POETRY

FUTURE GHOSTS

All those who boast with toasts
…of having the most
Should know, earth is a temporary host
And all with breaths are future ghosts

II
All those who read into shreds
…of knowledge’s reds
Will go, when their flag bells ring

III
So live like a sun
…rising to set
Live like a rose
…blooming to rot
Live like the dark
…ruling to perish
Live like rain
…falling to cease
When immortality finds its way into attitudes
…disappointment comes gunning
…before death’s flashes lash to hush

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. :)

I love your poetry. You write with a realistic view on life. I see what you write. Keep writing dear Poet. We need honest words in our world of fake people.
