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. :)

You believe in a worship in which you dressTo impress and stress on hiding sins when you, in your codified holiness, digressI believe in a worship in which I serveThose who needs have reserved but life holds onto because they so deserveWe’re both worshippers of our beliefsSo why push me into a make-believe foedomJust so […]
We’re hereWhere we’re dragging our egosAs the air of change blows across the sex oceanWith many notions spanning across emotionsIn a continent dug deep into debts by corrupt commotions IbWe’re hereWhere questions walk out of fear…of rears steering exits as their known entrances…disgust thoughts outAs taboos write boldly on moral boards“Man cannot equal manWoman cannot […]
