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. :)

FADED BLINDNESS

AND HE TURNS FOUR
Like a gentle flower, He made his way through my highway In speed Crying for the usual jubilation So small, raising questions of his being And he made all happy Never knew he was to face hurdles gargantuan In his easily countable stay Boxing sicknesses Wrestling illnesses Damaging unwelness And the flower churned He so […]

MEN IN DYNAMICS
Some men are like cockerels They praise “Your beauty! Kokrokoo kooo” Loving the rays which help them shine But always work for their stomachs only Still wanting coolers to burn their heats When their fires spark II Some men are like parrots Chirping in gossiping Living with no shame Kissing and telling and hurting and […]

He’s A Flower
For the first time today, I feel masculine. Yes, like the flower, likening it to my shadows in light to reflect the real me. I feel like loving and living, while I have the time. Thanks Deanne.

TAMALE TAXIS (CRAZY STANZAS)

CARNIVOROUS TEETH OF ALIEN RELIGIONS

Did we not know That their thoughts […]
