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. :)
They plucked stars From their skies Like unripe mangoes from their trees And sent them to their dark earth To polish them in light One star after another Brought greed for more As pluckers turned merchants After turning some stars hunters of good stars Their own flesh and blood!

This place of yearning Owns a churning As rain seeps through the pores of the earth And the earth cries in cracks for the thirst of it So does the yearning begs attention II Withering prime! Anxious crime! The bells loudly chime! Deeds deal not with dimes! Hold me in your arms Those strong arms […]
There must be a God for each! I believe there must be a God for each! Urging on their priced creations Breeding fierce competition Creating chances Being defeated Winning and cheering While they oposing losers cry There must surely be a God for each Creator of a model being to keep Programmer of every soul to […]
As time travels to my older soul I feel, in my mind’s palms, the hot coal Dreams are like lighted coals In an airy oven Situated in lairs of lion-like vixens Lairs whose entrance is made of the soils of thorns II Legs have to pierce in tears Eyes need to see their own blood […]
Miles with its wiles Have drawn a picture of longing Drawing mind closer to you Like a magnetic wave Pulled in by a metal wrapped in its interest II Glued in thoughts Separated in body I shake like a leaf in epileptic wind waves Eyes wide open and I fall Eyes tightly closed and I […]
In our ancestors’ future Culture was the path of security Of safety Of enlightenment Of peace Of protection II In our ancestors’ future We were clothed by culture’s silk Adorned by Odomankoma’s mental gold Given extra eyes by the seer of the sky To see distractors To teach and mould aliens to follow And not […]
In your shade I fear no fade When the devil, your presence, forbids As he, my happiness, lids I will be pushed by no defeat And will get, in your court, a seat For I know your enduring treat No matter the sad drum beat Your are my knot My beautiful time slot You are […]
Before Poku arrived in front of King Gyaas, Catcher told all the first cat family members present “I think we must find a way of not antagonizing them further to flee. Let’s find a way of making them understand that things will change and get them to settle in comfortably. Then we can appoint […]
Strange range Change arranges not emotions It scatters to litter in bitter happiness Or happy bitterness Like a painter who is colour blind Then carves familiarity like a new wife And makes all humans new husbands II strange range Wigs were once wicked spirits’ possessions Which needed days of emptied stomachs To deliver in heavenly […]
Like seeds We need rain Sunlight and air To bond with soil In order to grow II Like young plants We need your clearance Your guidance for endurance Your protection from legs and winds To grow in thickness to fruition III Like fruiting plants We need your protection From birds and pests To keep our […]
Vessels of love! Beautiful houses of homes! Owners of completeness! Fertile lands of the earth! Faces of welcomes! Bosses! Clearer of loses! Visions of clearer choices! Hearts like springs of goodness! Plants with nutritious breasts of vitality! Skies with lighted suns and moons! With stars which work to train fireflies To replace them to lead […]

At the mercy of the sentient being Whose breath was like mono gas With an elephantine emotion Which jumped like a servant at his command I croaked like a choked frog In his hidden gutters Gutters which obeyed their master In soundproofing, aiding and abetting the crime of pain II Daylight now flood the candle […]
They say life begins at forty A year to pension, what have you gained? Marriage to many lands in bonds of servitude? Knees kissing gravels to lower thy face? A broom to sweep your dirt under your tattered mat? A choir to sing your horrids as flourishes? A heart to collect unwanted scraps And use […]
With one mind All sought to find Freedom which in bondage hid to blind But none triumphed but one in a kind Kwame Nkrumah! Stopper of the colonial grind! II We have travelled a long way Graduated to adulthood so can have our say Way past our childish play Not so easy a stay But […]

Coupled with the fact that he commanded great respect among his own people and could move all the porcupines, no animal dared look him twice in […]
Kwame Osei climbs trees Whenever he me sees He says he’ll pay my fees Then whine like bugged bees But whenever papa sees, he flees II Kojo Dzakpasu agbadza dances Whenever he me sees in his chances He, his muscles enhances As he my face glances Warning all to watch their stances Behaving like a […]

Tears Falls Bruises Strength Weakness Frailty Like weak plants We are tested Some uprooted The un-needed weeded The favoured pampered Until we grow Shed our fruits into barrenness And are cut down to be replaced By needed planta or seeds Such is we who think in foreverness Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2016
You were beautiful Your coconuts’ early openings just wonderful Your need to lead Overbearing but powerful Why do you now look pitiful? II Most of your children now roam Roam the forest of doom Leaving the street of morals Because a cane on a skin Draws your judges’ hammer, Your youngs now fly with flawed […]

Ah! Ordinary fly I am too plain for you to strain So you sigh And look at me with disdain You love the lie And all those who like paintings live in colour Thinking not of any disorder II Chase the “real” butterflies Know their nectar taste and oh! Pray not for rain Fall for […]

Reblogging Monday. Found this a refreshing read.
I know you swallow it all Green or brown in lastly fall Weak or strong when they’re slashed by the “amuntum” call A call of croaks from the throat of “Yaamoa Owuo” II Is conscience lacking you Or you lack the pit to carry its pot? Who eats the little bitter mangoes When ripe ones […]
If eyes marry ears Many stones of disappointments Will be thrown at fears The sun tells of its birth With its mildness as all bodies carry, Even the albinos’, Scares almost all bodies into corners When it stands on its podium of peakhood And loses its light To make way for weak eyes To see […]

King Gyaas commanded his soldiers to fire at Watcher. The soldiers obeyed with passion, scattering Watcher like dried leaf grinded into dust.

When a lioness puffs loudly in chase Its game triumph For they know Their fleeing tactics drain their murderers So even when caught They face death with a smile II When the goat bleats loudly in running All know there is danger That is, if nanny is not in sight Chances are, its deeds do […]
When mama arrested me She did not say why All she did was form And force me to conform With each spit I thought she cleaned With every mood swing I thought she cleared With every heartbeat, I felt some love No rules for living Resided in the jail, Jail of urine You should have […]
We met as a set Fitting halves that chanced to jet Fluttering hearts that attracted many a bet And in between, no room to let Bad winds and whispers did feel their fret Which they threw like a ball freed fresh from the net Sad that I am now his flibbertigibbet II If anyone had given […]
Cocks always smell something foul In the cloth of a hen When success crowns her head As she sits in their midst And their combs feel numb at the ego hit II Loudly crowing cocks then turn At the slightest chance Using their wings to sweep the ground Beckoning her to turn her back To […]

Cruelty sings today and mourns tomorrow like owl without feet and home Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2016
When tough times are mandated to reign As horrors get the stage to feign And saviours hung in unreachable skies As doubt tells unimaginable lies Pause Look like an owl because Life is a knife Whenever unpleasantness rife So strive to thrive Live in spirits well alive Like the cry-laughing child Who knows no wild […]
