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 love my life But hate my strife You abhor my stain Yet love my rain You loathe my strain Why love my gain? In every chicken resides a bile Definitely, the sun comes with its light and heat Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia © Jan. 10, 2019
There has been a huge rain of evidence Spelling FACT in bold Of the rot that pilolo as myth in this nation What does it take to buy the land? Stamps of high stools bought by currencies without solid roots! Pictures of first personalities whose camera is set By fundings whose stem dazzle to blind […]
I look at the grieving me in any mirror And see the monstrous horns of horror I think about the remaining you in the cold In between the teeth that earth crush in fold Then I remember I was told There was a concrete with cement sold To the mouth of the earth through the […]
I have been following your mythical silhouette to find its owner Living like a leaf carried by air in the sky of uncertainty Anger mixes frustration and disdain As something seems like anything All in the can of nothing But then again Nothing is the mother of all things Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia © Jan. 10, […]
We have crossed the seas of wonderment To the shores of no surprises Overlooking waves of bizarre shocks whose lost electricity Have turned bubbles, foaming tongues of the ever licking waters, flirting with sands And succeeding only to open and close onlooking mouths Without waking any sound from their belly beds II This is an […]
There are sounds which are better not made There are scars better left under skirts of decorum Just a stick prick, and an infection occurs Old songs of sadness are best left unsung II Care is knowing the hurt path And leaving it to grow weeds of forgetfulness Love is seeing the painful clothing And […]
There are many noisy drums humming definitions of women Abena Amoafowaa Jemremedua My ears have turned bigger than that of the biggest elephant Hugging the ground in listening As oceans of chaotic banter battle winds of infuriated ears. Some define a woman as a bottomless hole meant as a collection bowl by Odomankomah Nana Nyame […]
We have crossed a bridge of a year onto another Another which needs no bags loaded with problems Dragged into its realm Another whose slate can accommodate no old news Let alone entertain old sentimental views Shed it, we’re birthing ourselves anew II Our past can only be the fertilizer of our present The more […]
I am shedding my clothes of sadness Here I am Standing stark naked Awaiting your layers of seconds to fix scars of yesteryears Your minutes to fix heartbreaks of your predecessors Your hours to act as underwears of success Your days to fix all premature greys Your months to put on me clothes of dignity […]
The fingers of days have connived with that of months Joined in by hours and minutes, seconds and nano-seconds Crowned by years to selectively Choose the best part of this heart To dig foundations of pain Building storeys of unforgettable loss through grave deprivation But I tell you today You will search from my hair […]
The Eve was a scarecrow of leaves Pushing hurtful carols through monstrous throats of uncertainties Blood on white background, garnishing taunting bodies Whose teeth in laughter are marks of cannibalism Battling hurts on unfair stages Oh Tearstained Holy Night! A birth garnished by sadness! Foods of fear sit on plates of impending years Burning wines […]
Gates of life are on shes Fact! Hammers for carving those gates are on hes Another fact! But birth births death And hides in sicknesses Accidents Suicides Cruelty Old age Always conniving with time To blow forgetfulness On its mischievous handiwork How cunning!

When life’s fog, blocks future light And a hopeless log, locks all might Special days become accursed II Celebratory mourning Confusing laughter Hurtful toasting I’m here, rubbish being thrown Into a heap of a year by a cruel dying other What is there to see? II Surely, white dresses repel this heart wearing black Oh […]
You’ve been on my mind everyday But today, I feel you sitting on the regal stool in here Aduse-Pokua, how is your “Hanoa”? II I remember it like yesterday You saying only a jump was left for you to reach Hanoa I remember them like yesterday Our chats and laughter, fallouts and tears I see […]
A great friend is like a clean river In days of drought A good friend is like the most delicious meal In days of hunger A good friend is like rain When you, like the earth, scatter in dust, They fall to piece you together II A good friend is like thunder Giving shortest light […]
You won You won the draft you forced us to play Putting your novice mother under your orders “Tell me what is in your heart” I am sorry – “For going hungry to buy my drugs?” I am sorry – “For roaming so much to look for my cure?” I am – “You’re sorry for […]

Odomankomah Nyankopong Totorobonsu is the ultimate judge of our lives We have no stools in lives of others To sit like judges and condemn souls The mock ones in life are just for protection; justice and fairness We are not qualified to throw stones In mistakes of others Because fallibility is a natural cloth on […]
People write stories They write stories in my story They write stories in your stories They give pages in their stories to your stories So we each have stories upon stories within our stories And we have stories in stories of others stories An interconnectivity of stories II We own the ink to any story […]
There are so many meanings hidden Hidden in songs ridden Ridden on vocal cords from the bottom of burning intestines Intestines locked away by flesh of stomachs II Rising like sunrise and stabling like burns A heart fluttered to die and resurrected to live like a ghost Scar of pain gathering guts to form sounds […]
Vagabond Alluring, Gamer In Nothing, Ashtray! Who served you onto the African woman in this modern world? Who made you a begging bowl on the street of love? Who made you a trap to catch skillful players on this park of coupling? Do you have a connection to brain cells? II I am tired Seeing […]

What is Amoakoa to do? There is a tuber of cassava growing in her mound A tuber which hid itself Like a thief hiding under a vehicle In the depth of her mound Failing to stand in the way of flow To be pictured into a capture Swerving Amoakoa and beating her to winning II […]

You think and see how strange it is It is no mirror It is no body It is just a cast of you mostly longer than your form, sometimes sizeable, other times shorter Sad they can’t be touched Horrible they can’t be hugged Annoying they flee your advances to mould Yet they are your shadows […]
I need a very tall ladder To climb into minds holding the reigns of our national horses I need a very good lift To the core wiring of these great minds sift! II Which fishes, drink the waters of their own sea Sell them for cheap to greedy drought Kill the clouds of their sky […]

II Thank you, for nurturing […]
Many pots go to the stream and return Pots and water intact Why did you have to go all the way to the stream Fetch, labour to carry Walk nine moons to reach Pour the water in its rightful barrel Only to take a short stroll to shatter into unpieceable pieces? Many might comfort themselves […]
Dear cyber bully, Why do you hide your face Behind some chaotic wires? Are you a grasshopper hiding in the grass of an elephant? II Dear cyber bully, Why do you hide your fist Behind some poor poor keypads? Are you an armless coward in the family of an African king? III Dear cyber bully, […]

Clouds of wishes mostly fall from the sky of dreams Funny how they mostly land in far seas Sending echoes of their ovations and screams Breaking hearts of wannabes Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia © October 27, 2018

Happiness is always an art Using the senses to break hurdicular fences Happiness is always within Waking smiles even in painful miles II Happiness is seeing the beauty through the filth Hearing the rhythms through the chaos Feeling the air through the hurricanes Loving you in surrounding hate Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia © October 22, 2018
Maybe my engine of worship needs oiling Maybe I have, like Satan, been alienated By blasphemous thoughts which have walked miles from my past Throwing the bitter dust of yesteryears into my spectacled eyes Maybe I am a stranger in a manger of convincing But why me? The smiling sky with fair air Is not […]
Clouds are clearing in this dark I can see the hazy moon flanked by its numerous stars Light rays, with their toes, make visible many a mark But breakages have arrested almost all bars Shaking in collapsing Freeing hope of its masking II I can see in drying, tears of dawn I can see in […]
On this day I severe the placenta of care With the scissors of nonsensical ties Brought forth by atrocious idiocy Nevertheless, you are my baby in my heart II On this day I make you a trap A trap made for heads drunk with bitterness Living in a forest of no- sense Should they step […]
