A BOUNCER’S TALE

Obio Akweley sat and clappedAs Nortey worked and trapped…her rivalShe then chanted “Discipline in revival!” IIObio Akweley did the Kpanlogo danceWhen Nortey got the chance…to try Obioma for her fraudSaying all fraudsters would be caught and tried for their fraud IIIObio Akweley laughed and puffed…choked, and with powder, bathedBecause Atta Ayi was caught…in a nepot’s […]

In this momentWhere you live so succulentEyes are forcing hands to hide their ringsHearts are forcing heads to pull their stringsLove is parcelling lust to race your haveBut know…pulling yourself together is best…so as not to pull another asunder IIEveryone is greedy to have a love to cherishEveryone is needy to own a loving journey […]

GLITTERS AND GOLD

Sometimes…we see the sky on earth…and the earth in the skySometimes…we see the flight of fishes…and stars swimming in the seaIgnorant heads call us madBut those blessed with additional eyes…see best the true forms of living Sometimes…frowns are smiles…and smiles are frownsSometimes…laughter is tears…and tears is laughterSometimes…life is death…and death is lifeIt is only the […]

NO

You built a furnace with your deceit …and lighted it hottest with your lies You pushed me hard …into it …with your disrespect And locked it firmly with your abuse Your cheating fanned to fuel its burns …and your cheeky smiles added more coals to keep it flaming If a Samaritan has broken those hot […]

YOU SEE NOW?

Footmats have turned caretakers …holding canes to whip sanes into insanes …for the many years they were stepped on Forcing shouts out of self important stouts Need has flipped it …servants turned leaders …leaders turned servants It sure is very true …that money is no honey when chaos strikes II Mr. Asikumah’s doctorate now decorates […]

TRUST RUNS UNDER MOCK PARKS

Trouble Rumbling Under Main Polls II I thought fame and riches …gets all the treasure I thought name and power …do always tower So how did one with a Jesus skin And supreme air …with packed pocket Sitting on one of the world’s biggest throne …get dethroned by mockery? III Tears Roll Usurping Master Politically […]

CRY ME A RIVER

Cry me a river. Cry me a river in a shiver For I have paid treachery dues Refusing to yield to subtle cries from those who cared And living like the world was a fancy club Worshipping alcohol and weed While reveling in touches of unknown hands Fearing nothing, hearing no reason and seeing no […]
