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. :)
Abena, you are generating it You are generating it manually With no good results This love you are feeling II Adwoa, you are pumping it You are pumping it manually With painful results This love you are feeling III Kwaku is just being his satanic self, Abena Wanting a temporary hole to scratch his itch […]
HEED THE CALL
What are fires without heat? Light without shine? Drums without beats? Houses with no gates? II What are voices without sounds? Cars without mobility? Eagles without wings? Rains with no water? III I believe proceeds are the all Without them, then we fall So when the occasion does call We must be prepared to give […]
WHY I WRITE
As the sky lies vast And watches sky beings display On its ground like a field All it can do to be sane Is to create an outlet That’s why I write II As the land takes and gives And mouths curse and bless While others defecate and spit All into its mouth All it […]

Through sin’s sweet bosom Many hurts did blossom Gaining roots Acting as boots And in cahoots with punishments II We cherishing Though perishing Sweet peas In acidic seas Bubbles of heart ripples Weapons masked in angelic pebbles III Sweet hurtings Like peace’s chaos Soul’s dirt bowl Like heavenly hellish creation Sweet Lord Please come on […]
Many will be stranded Being left empty handed After enjoying the fat Lamb killing And being shamed with a resurrection II Many will sell their talkers After being drained by suckers Many will pawn their shoes Just to get a place on a troski III Many will turn to beggars After being the money taggers […]

SINS’ TICKLINGS
Dented deep darkness Sleep on peeping eyes of light In lives professing worship II Sins’ fingers tickle As feelings send hot signals Of need, heads hit legs to run III Hot flirting with sin Closes doors of the heavens And places guards at its gates Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2015
THE MOOD SWINGER (TANKA)
In the sky’s good times It sends angelic calm winds Dressed in soothing balms To massage in-beings of earth Oh! Their magical fingers!

ARITHEMATIC COMPLEXITIES
Is this artificial merry go round necessary? When a plus sign can kiss a numeral As a multiplier unties a bolt In arithmetic complexities To free the confusion of a neuro zero Can’t laughter seduce formulas As interests are nursed out of their scare holes When you, who profess great arithematism, hold your marker And […]

WATCHING YOUR PASSING
As the fires lick Your dried fallen leaves And bite into its bones As it shouts in pain II I stand teary Prompted by the smoke that it emits With genuine fears of no protection from age Shiverings! Oh shiverings! III Scary, how time only wears high heels Making sure ears hear its footsteps To […]
SEDUC-CALLING (ADULT POETRY)

UN-TRUSTING HURTS
My television is filled with flies So my ears can’t stand the buzz Those piles of emotions Causing your heart’s corrosion Can freely pass through my tunnels So why hoard them until they turn into a filthy fountain Overflowing in-out-in of you? II How is this heart of mine faring? Have you had thoughts of […]
GOATS, SHEEP, FOWLS, COWS AND VULTURE
SHEEP Bɛɛɛɛ! Bɛɛɛɛ! What are we to do now? Our murder loom As our bodies are being craved And seen as delicacies in clothes of spices To be grinded first by stones in their quarry And then sent to be grinded again in enclosed insatiats Who think celebrations must see us as things without breath GOAT […]

EASTER TO FEASTER
Death for freedom Freedom from evil Freedom from pain Freedom from fear Freedom from principalities and powers Freedom for sainthood in happiness Now that freedom’s head is in the armpit of chaos, Enslaved by brutality Being beaten by atrocities Spit on by materialism Stamped on by selfishness Being slapped by earthly ticklings And insulted by […]

TEARS FOR THE DEFILED
Nananom were the Lords When the aliens came as explorers Riches turned their heads around And they aimed to be the kings So Nananom were subdued Isn’t it funny that salt were used as toffees To make our Lords tongue licking children? Isn’t it funny that lone guns were used To make men feel like […]

WHEN THE FROG NAUSEATES (TANKA)
Folks climb tall mountains With their voices as day wakes Pledging commitments? Funny flaws’ flaked forces fan Into action when day smiles II What are we on then? Noise pollution with no track?

The West African Senior High School Examinations for 2015 started on March 30 with integrated science as the opening subject for sitting. I must say WAEC is really on top of exam malpractices.

IF GOD’S PHONE NUMBER WERE PUBLIC
