When hunters’ hunts unveiled her She sat in mystery like the virgin she was Adorned by great forests Clothed by beautiful trees Surrounded by caring rivers Being serenaded by great seas As she sat on the much need riches Scared at first, they sought to shoot Then realized her worth And sought to take They […]

UNDER SUPREMACY’S SKIRT

In the land of Parts of Speech All resolve my yearnings to teach But indulge in verbal breach Rendering me an outcast II See, they couple by inflections And I couple by base, no inflections My lonely sound bounce back in deflections Because of the addition of ‘s’ to my name; ‘Shows’ III Now Tables […]
Fears run rampantDown the streetsWhen words are lost andSolace springs from thin air,Molecular mornings igniteDivisions uniting the sky,Conjoining the lost,Churning distant souls refinedInto something quite like you and I II Something can be nothing Walking through thin air without a face Taunting with blurred thoughts without a trace Molecular afternoons ignite Threatening to spark […]
Veins hold each other Tight, opening their arms to Let blood flow for good II To make a being work Veins forget their differences And tirelessly work III A single break down And all demonstrate for a Hurried attention IV A block at a point All stop, a rising notice To save their own piece […]
Had a duet with the sensational Lisa Ojanpera on theme Racism. This is a white and black blend, please enjoy and let the white and black clouds merge. The sky is fuming madly Hating our living badly She neglects wind’s many pleas And thunders us on our knees Black clouds force to take full charge […]
Wow! How did God allow this? Many bottles he made Like the ingenious crafter In his branding thoughts Now it turns into a huge show a show of beauty A show of durability A show of class A show of geography A show of war Not what He bargained for I know Lost! We seem […]

RACISTS ALERT
These natural black overalls These natural white overalls These natural brown overalls These natural yellow overalls Are just overalls like all overalls We wear them to cover worldly alls And take them off for earth to blend Then our souls are seen as one Who fights for packaging When all they do is package?

SCARY WHITE, SCARY BLACK
I Let our imaginations run wild And for once dream With no thoughts of victimization Nor victimising Isn’t creation interesting? II Imagine how the white man felt When he first saw the black man Probably scared out of his wits So scared, he took to his heels Shouting of seeing a ghost Tripping, falling, rolling […]

IN THE MIND OF WHITE SLAVE HUNTERS
They are like us Eyes like ours Hands like ours Mouths like ours Legs like ours But why do they act like apes? Let’s see They farm to eat Wear less to battle the air Look dirty and care not Act innocent Like there’s no care in […]
From the soothing balm of shea To the ginger, pepper suppository Through to hunger which was queer And quenched with thick breakfast of ‘coco’ With plenty sunshine, my happiness was sealed By the creator I, like an angel, knew no colour I knew no difference I knew humans, black, white, yellow and whatever And […]

MINDFUL PAINFULS
Thoughts of the Fante gallants
Subdued by harmless guns
As they plead
“M’agya etu, mepawokyew
Menkum me ai! Mere ke sonkyi maaba”
To a mouthless gun kills my spirit over and over again
Stomach cut in
"I store all your belongings,
I look through with my crew and throw some out
To make sure everyone is all-right-"
"Then you must be the financial minister"
Buttocks cut in and continued
