It is amazing how the fourth arm Works with its arms From acting like robbers with arms To being eyes without qualms II These are the times Growth with accountability rhymes These are the times corruption bells must chime To wake sleepers who throw in their dimes To get fingers acting in mime to […]

Hajj is one dream all Muslims have in common; at least, so Ghanaians have been made believe. A person who goes to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for hajj, washes away all sins and if that person dies thereafter, after notable rituals (worship), he or she is said to go straight to heaven. The puzzle of […]

Sometimes reminiscing takes us here and there, the centre between happiness and pain. Cool poem.
