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. :)

God, I call I, Your creation, Planted on black sands, call I thought loamy grows best But apparently, I thought wrong II We shine in light, Oh what beauty! Why then do mine portray their minds Like their bodies of doom Only, the minds shine not but destroy, maim! Kill! III God, I call And […]
