THIS IS THE GHANA I LOVE

The Ghana I love is this Ghana
…which is like the still waters
Holding peace like an armour
Even when hearts flip to compete for positions high

II
This is the Ghana I love
This Ghana
Like a hen feeding its chicks
…learning to choose the best from the rest
Sending warnings to aspirants
…about their knowledge growing
…from the gutters they undermine

III
This is the Ghana I love
Where competitors tease eachother like friends
Teaching fighting followers
…to think more than twice before subsequent actions
Forget the frictions
…They’re no addictions

IV
This is the Ghana I love
Telling on the deterioration of developed nations
…as the calm and near success
…fly high our flag
Standing us tall
…as one of the giants of democracy

V
This is the Ghana I love
Better following good
…and being toppled by best
As we station our nation in a trusted organization
…where onlookers watch in reverence
Hoping to be in red, gold, green apparels
…with a black star as their badges

VI
This is the Ghana I love
Those unseated sulking in peace
…after conceding
Even the contesting calms with time
This aura of peace!
This feeling of dignity!
This love for healthy competitions!
Even the heavens spoke with showers after our choosing
…clapping for the composure
…which marks us out as peacemakers
…charting paths for the future
…to learn from our present

VIII
This is the Ghana I love
Peace on love cleansing hurts and pains
We live like one in a different whole
…and we show our wholesomeness
…letting the world know
…we’re part of the giants of democracy
