Many lessons are born each day Making learning a requirement for wise minds None fails to notice …that defeated suns get no reverence …from owners of wet clothes They’d choose the heat of fire No matter the gifts defeated suns shower II They can light They can shine They can lead to pots of gold […]

OBJECTIVITY
///// ,,,,, ….. Bars are bars Commas are commas Full stops are full stops Ib Heat Cold Rains Showers Storms Air Know their visitations Commend the good …as you will tell off the bad II For horror tells on hearts …fanned by air complaining of cold Ungratefulness tells on souls …soothed by showers complaining of […]
Perfect suns Perfect air Perfect showers Heart farms right II Fulfilling times Infectious laughters Amazing rest Heart works well III Beautiful storms Challenging hurdles Extraordinary wins Heart loves right IV Because you found me a land …and had me replanted You found me suns …and you built me a shade You called rains for me […]

WITH YOUR EYES
With your eyes …you undressed the stress …and carresed my mess …to bless me until I healed from distress …and turned a blessing II With your eyes You massaged my heart …with a message from a genuine heart …that intrigued me Reversing my hunt to park at your gate …in a submission that broke a […]
ƆSEADEƐYƆ (For Nana Akuffo Addo)
There have been many a blessing turned curses …in high seats here Gunning for our resources for self agrandizement Heckling our right wingers to close mouths in ear deception Aiding and abetting liars to cover their rots Never thinking of the poor in straits dire And by so doing leading wise hailers into regretful wailers […]
THE FUN IN FEAR
Fine fellas fall flat on their faith Their forced fate flakes to fake their inflamed fumes Flaunting fanatics with fears of fiery flocks …unknown before a farm of wealth Ha to the haha! He to the he! II How many tubers are now buried in trousers? How many hands now keep to their fences of […]
ON PRESIDENT’S ORDERS
Dear God, Beings hide in being Because a sickness has picked our body bricks …as home in its quest to destroy us Sparing few as carriers Pairing pain in others Forcing some prematurely to death’s home And caging the healthy in their homes Odomankomah …since the earth is one of your wombs Please come to […]
THE FEE OF MY SILENCE
I’d rather you suffer in my silence …which shuts your door with doubts …and still opens your windows of hope Because I know you’ll split us into you and I …and put us in a ring of animosity …no matter the sound which walks the red carpet of my mouth So please read the pleas […]
THE WORLD WILL HEAL

WOES OF AKILAKPA
Akilakpa never regarded his Ghana …while he lived in its womb He dreamt of a land with a forever mild air conditioning …where sweat is nil For he had heard the grass is green in Ghana But in that land …the land ranges from greener to greenest II He couldn’t wait to shed his Ghanaian […]
CORONA WONDERS

GIVE ME CUSTODY! GIVE ME CUSTODY!
You were raised a lazy god of the home – …your hands to never touch a diaper …your laps to never host a child …your ears to never stand a cry …your palms to never knead dough Yet you stand in front of a judge …after collapsing your home …to scream GIVE ME CUSTODY! GIVE […]
A DATE TO REMEMBER
A beautiful pink rose in greeting …Ontario Art Gallery in salute Amazing walk to York Street …and more An incredible dish at Marché Cafe Crepe for delicious crepe eaten in walks …Right to Sky Dragon Where food displayed called fingers to touch …and lobsters waited to be chosen – …a little sad but with a […]

SCARS AND STAMPS
Scars are solemn stamps Seen in simplicity Sure in shocks of battles our bodies have won So play not with their reminders Forget not their lessons See them as blessings of experiences worthy or unworthy II They who cherish their scars …live better in care They who hide not their scars Know the beauty of […]
A CLAP FOR YOU
This is for every borla bird …who now flies an eagle Dodging stones of rejection …outwitting guns of oppression …outruning hurts of ridicules And shedding the smallness of being looked down upon …to reach the peak of respect This clap is for you II This is for every doormat …who now lives a house After […]

ODD VARIATION

YOURS TO MAKE
Starting and finishing can be a mould you hold Many hearts have built darknesses for their shames While others build crimes to gobble their angelics There is power in your thoughts!

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME
She was caught like a stalked game …folded like a foldable chair and tied with goat ropes Then thrown onto the back seat …of the Corona Her screams cut off by a chloroform II She woke to sounds without faces Her blindfold, thicker than a myth She was fed …bathed …abused …raped And threatened every […]
FUNNY FISHES
Stand amidst killer ants …and claim shants …in angry rants Until your shants change to can’ts Then you’ll see the fair turning unfair …in a lesson rare II You swim in sweet waters …and help walking suckers drink you dry When your waters run out And your difference shouts It’s there you’ll know the difference […]

TEARS – For Maame Ama Donkor
