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. :)
I think of now and before I know not what is in store I see not the work of law I see crimes brought to the fore And see children refuse their chore I aim to know its prompt core Living such life I abhor For real justice, I swore But my voice always mops […]
Ink links give thinking links When ink sinks, thinking sinks at eyes’ brink Then the world will stink Because blue might be mistaken for pink And no ink will be there for thinkers to link For novices to know and know the stench of deceit Amoafowaa Sefa Cecilia (c) 2014

When the birds do wake And the bakers’ bake Travel for advertisement sake And the hoes touch rakes As the mud does un-cake In the countryside The cockerels take The bells of nature and blow for all; Kokrokoookoooooooooooo!

I If there comes a messiah Or a future disciple of God Would we ever know or believe enough To acknowledge that life from the start? II No! I don’t think so Not in a billion years Those whose times produce them Will laugh and jeer Make mockery and sneer At the words of another […]
We In  the arms of armoured earth Protective of us Fight with race Fight with gender Fight with geography Fight with ethnicity And fight for what we can’t forever own II When we Crossing over into soil Take nothing but our beings Our skin being butchered by moth Our bones being powdered by age and […]

Here we are In the day which sat Why can’t it sit to fit? Is the past its bait? What is its secret that it sits in the past? I asked and all it says is “ur” Annoying how day relieves it Cutting short my questions I want to sit now Why must I work, […]

 Simmering stew stands smiling Sending sweet scents Scents sent as swords to silence stomachs Stomachs scattered by scanty scoops of cereals Scudding surreptitiously in outstanding signals Sealing sadness like sexy serpents to unsuspecting stomachs Stomachs seriously searching for strength to save Searching seriously for a savior who comes with scents Silly scoundrel! You simmering […]

A sponge for many bodies A room for countless beings Tea without milk Fetched with fingers like soup None waits for the train moves And the latecomer is left hungry No toothbrushes because none can afford They are the children of the present Unfortunate to have been left by their mothers Unfortunate to have been […]
In perfect’s perfection Lies hidden flawless flaws  In the safest safety Lies the hidden danger  In the loudest laughter Lies the saddest sorrow  In the deep widest sea Lie loud crying rivers  They cover them well Making sure they’re tight And will never fall Only the knowing survives This cold […]
