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. :)

Meet me there There At the blue kiosk right by the street of Nyansakrom For sips of sympathies which sink unfairness in oceans of insanities II Meet me there There To fathom with the power of kabi kyerÉ› w’ase Why thoughts of society seem more complex than man Man who is their sole author III […]

Walking back into the deserted forest of the past I see sands of regrets Watered by sweats of ghostly marathons in vain cheer With tears acting as pickaxes Digging gullies on once promising lands Gullies draining dreams conceived from enthusiastic sacrifices How I wish mouths stayed behind on journeys of death!

The boldness of darkness in deceptive acquisition Is a mystic and hypocritical existence Which abhors the steps of light Even in far distances It’s a little wonder legs turn three Moving without support for the third Chests grow mounds Hoping with no straps for decorum When the law chases II Wigs are rigs in these […]

I came to you straight from life’s hellish oven With a soul brutalised and so very grief shaken I came to you like a tired lamb With my neck in offering On feet so rebellious because of needs and pain’s whips You held me, soothed me, and magically mended my callouses Like a gentle ice […]
