KNUST

This is a place shielding many
And a place knowing many
This is a place coaching many
And a place
Worrying many
This is home refined
With duties and responsibilities well defined
This is a battle well confined
With soft-competitions with egos well combined
And I’m one of its small leaves
It takes care to not be one of the leaves

II
Herein, there are vultures acting doves
Here, there are sands which are high above
Here, there are cats acting lions
Here, there are hells acting Zions
Here, there are wise fools
…and unuseful tools
Think of minds clashing
Think of mouths swording
Think of laughters echoing
Think of tears falling
Think of rains burning lands
And suns soaking grounds none understands
Think of beauty and duty
They live in ingenuity
Think of structure and fracture
Think of doctored doctors
Think of processed proactors
Think of high esteem walking the ground
Think of low esteem many have found
Think through toreential torture
Think through a mentoring nature!

III
And there is love
Many clamoring for none
Any clamoring for a can
Eyes-dust-throwers win more than truthful hearts
Torrential tears flood this field
Shaking, hitting, and breaking many hearts
Only composed emotions wear many a shield
It is catastrophic to fall into the typhoon of the Green-rush
Surely, many fingers are shouting the shush
But innocent damsels drown in the hush
As murderous pestles seek their sashes
Care is a tool to avoid some rashes

IIIb
Then there are the great manipulators
Who tell tales with demands
And offer aid with commands
They can wear powerful clothes
They can wear intelligent hats
They can be the powerful clothes
All wanting pieces of many mats

IIIc
Then there are the shielders
Those whose directions are builders
They are like earth and skies
They are like the beautiful tries with advisory cries
They’re like the gods birthing goddesses
They are like goddesses birthing gods
Oh the difficulty in finding their addresses!
Oh the charge in working in their boreds

IIId
There are also the nightingales of doom
Who bring thoughts which failures loom
Cashing out of emotions
Forcing hearts to take decisions
Their beaks are long with pecking ambitions
Their feathers are strong
With fleeing durations
You fall in their traps
You taste their craps
They are like devils
Vending many evils

IV
There are the care-nots
Caring not about the what-nots
Their clothes can be soiled
Their hairs recoiled
Their skins can be boiled
But they must achieve many an aim
…with no shame

IVb
Wins wear weariness
Wrecks wear worries
Willings weed winnings
Wretches weed whinnings


V
Offices have beautiful receptions
Teeth stand out in great attractions
Needs are bathed into such satisfactions
Do you need directions?
Do you need instructions?
Time is not their trouble
They can waste on you hours and double

Vb
Here is a blessing
If you know your Worthing
Here is a cursing
If you love deviating

Vc
The one thing I wish done
Learning more us
Reducing the foreign bus
Knowing more us
Stopping the descriptive cuss
For Kwame Nkrumah Understood Our Situation
…And Triumphed
By leading us with our own
…wearing our own flesh
KNUST is the small-big place
KNUST is a big-small place
I’d like to so leave a trace
For I am their own
And they are my own
I climbed their ladder on fell back
…back on their loving track
