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. :)

Legs of iron Walk through this hell Into the snow Beneath which lie The thieves who stole our innocence Revived and lured out our dead-in-buried-slavery Like zoo guards do fierce lions II I will wish to light them a fire Which will burn into desire And will blast into their attires And turn hellish fires […]
When the gates of my eyes Failed the bait of darkness And stood ajar Like a third leg mad man in attentive glory I knew the legs of the night Would go at a snail’s pace Tik…tok….tik…..tok II The balls which needed to be hidden The bigger colours which needed to rest The lens which […]

Tell me Tell me what is in your heart I have no eye with laser readings And I am no eagle in high flight To see your all from the top II Tell me Tell me what is in your heart I have no smell with inferences Not like a trained dog on problemed field […]
My mother’s mother’s mothers Were like dogs Trained to serve even on stepped nerves Tamed to submit even when pain emit Taught to shadow Even in the brightest light Ordained to please no matter their horrid tease What can I do to their souls appease? II Like dogs Some got good owners And lived well […]
Flaws Crawl like cowardly spiders In hidden tears Shielded by pride II It flows to the brim And cause all that is dim Making tongues sour like the tree of nim And like an old sim Feeding all new phones to have vims Defying all that is proper and prim III Knowledge is power So […]

What do you call an oufit that you can share with your brother or sister, wife or husband, boyfriend or girlfriend? What do you call an outfit that looks equally great on males and females alike?

When my heaven in daylight turns to hell Calling to keep a countenance none can tell I always yearn to recoil into my shell Like a tortoise in danger smell II Oh how I wish there was a bell To help me skip any problem cell So none can say “she fell” And carry me […]

What do you see? Birds in flight with different wings? Different sizes of animals On all fours living as they please? Those struggling on twos And those sailing with wings? Rivers screaming for seas?

Where were you? When cold threw shivers And tears on my fragile body And boxed me like Azumah in his boxing fury? II Where were you? When scarce waters Were woken from deep pots And made to flow into gutters Like unneeded waters from a washed colander? III Where were you? When the gates of […]
Bad morning greets in hollowed caves Thinking aloud its knighty saves Fantasizing itself as Biblical Daves But none seems to work as none helps paves II It is the lack of saviours That calls for its misbehaviors If the bad is released And its curses seize Whatever wrong it writes Will erase itself Tearing through […]

We have crossed Crossed the rubicon And can never get a head To dream of change Change which can alter positively II We have, like gluttons, dined Dined with the undinables Food whose stench can never be removed Let alone hidden from its seekers Who have the light to chase We who have no light […]
I don’t want to be a land I want to be a tree No matter how deeply rooted I will stand firm With branch-like hands Waving my leaf- like fingers None will step on me into mud None will dig into me None will wash away my skin None can blast my stone like bones […]
As to how it got quenched I cannot tell Except that like a vulcano Overtaken by a rebellious tsunami I woke up bruised At the shores of love When I had barely paddled to the count of ten On its sea II Wet grounds Wet woods All dry matches watch Marking abominable my territory Taking […]
Verily verily, I say unto you All that is bitter Great and disappointing In this wide world Never fails in blame of All little holes down women’s south II Vying to soar like eagles Altering fates to appear like perfect frames Giving out like Father Christmas on a big win Initiating rights to act like […]
Love made her his dog When he was himself a frog Tied to a log So her running turned into a jog Her big frame Insulting her state Like a queen with her crown With a fool tag like a clown Teeth showcase themselves in her honour For the fun of it When it is […]

The womb of the earth Births them all Flowers Trees Crops Weeds Herbs II Why would one womb Birth them all with such variations and roles? Do flowers love being flowers? Trees being trees? Crops being crops? Weeds being weeds? Herbs being herbs? III Flowers complain of being used Their beauty for pleasure Their nectar […]
Mouths of trees Are their roots They roam in the earth And search to feed To keep the standing bodies Fresh and strong But no eye does see Their tiresome toil Unless erosion washes Hands dig Then their dirty selves are seen Their elimination is the upper fall And death to all Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia […]

Who needs not the tenderings When sickness enters doors of strength Like an unwanted visitor? What about uncertainties spitting on emotions And messing with minds?

These crazy thoughts travelled And have come on extensive visits In pencilled heels Walking on the noisy tiles of my mind What will I lack?
