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. :)

When harmattan strikes Most trees are barbered As seas stand still As though their god’s national anthem Is playing through a Sharia law-microphone with hidden cameras II When harmattan strikes Ovaries of trees are cleared for fertility As their foetuses battle For the waters of life In order to live their seasons Caring not about […]
Ye gods of the land Open your hidden eyes And take these feathers Almost stripped of its skin To distill your ears To hear the prayers I pour Through the ‘nsafufuo’ my meek calabash has to give And help the land respond ‘ewie!’ To all the points of prayer II Let the evil fishes in […]

That I am a feminist Does not make me a lioness Asking for fairness with mouth Holds no threats of witchcraft Neither does it hold bullets for crucifixion Let alone bombs for company extinction II I know there are the kinds who want war And house machetes, arrows and spears Bullets and bombs of words […]
We were content With Santo and the Mfantsi vocals In hilarious moral satires on screens They weren’t coloured Neither were they classy But they gave us “us” at our horribles and bests Until Acapulco Bay sailed in Sweeping almost all off our feet As carefully chosen faces displayed the fantasies of all Most ladies conceived […]
