When mouths talk for minds Many are things which go wrong But ignorance is considered human On a land which needs change II Oh!

WHERE CURSES BREAK

Gone are the days When Ghanaian children feared ‘kakai’ Now only villagers, coastal children and children with naturalistic parents get to bath in natural waters What was a swimming pool then?

CHICKS FOLLOW HENS?
“Chicks follow hens” he says So nothing will cost him in pays The “neck-bottle” is willing That’s why it has rope tied to its neck Pull, while you have it, pull When the two balls Were begging to swerve blue balls As vein-mouths opened crying burning passions You forgot of the chicks being transferred into […]

PREGNANT GUTTERS
Pregnant gutters Labour in downpours Caging and taking lives In barbarism And the living cries foul? II Who makes sweet love By pushing bottles, polythenes and tins Into its wombs?
