Ya Allah!

When Ramadan came
I was rude to no one
Except one
My rude
Friend, Ruth

I rarely got angry
Except when it's blurry
My siblings got the best of me
Unless when I'm being meme

But Ramadan is leaving
Who will I be
Will my new lovely self also leave
Or can it still be

I smiled often
Spoke less
Prayed more
Learnt more scripture
Than in forever

Who will I be
When Ramadan leaves
Angry face
Intolerant
Stingy
Reluctant to pray
I want to prey
Not on anyone

Ya Allah
I seek your face
After Ramadan fades
Guide me
Straighten my path
Grant me patience
Provide us with abundance
We have your assurance
But we sometimes face defiance

Ya Allah
You're the most merciful
Grant us bountifully
Even when we behave pessimistically

Ya Allah
Ramadan is leaving
But You're not leaving

We are only human
We are full of faults
We seek your help
That which sustains us
Guide us toward You

Ya Allah
Forgive us
You're the ever forgiving
You love to forgive
So, please forgive us, Ya Allah
Ya Allah

Ya Allah
Ya Allah
Ya Allah

    We're only humans, may Allah help us in working on our relationship with him every day regardless of the period on our diverse religious calendar.

PERPETUITY

My religious beliefs sidestepped Not a good idea, I know But let’s do this Some say it’s the end of the world I say, maybe it’s just the beginning of it Maybe God is preparing a whole new generation to take over I mean, there are scriptural connotations to suggest so But, …………………….. Fill in the blanks I want to see my friends again I miss them People are dying People are dying Some have recovered and others are still recovering Some are also getting sick We are to practice social distancing Self-isolate Quarantine It’s a whole new world of superficial practices I see two possibilities Maybe, this new world is perpetual Maybe it’s just temporary Even if there comes a cure for this claw-clenching, deadly fisticuffs punching coronavirus Can we really come back to our old selves What if we are to remain this way to prevent getting infected Sure there may have been a cure for it But would you risk getting infected I pray this w

QUENCHING THE DESIRE TO DRINK; SAVE THAT PREGNANCY

-
In many African homes, marriages have broken due to pregnancy and birth issues. Usually, the blame is shoved down the woman’s throat. Either she is unable to conceive or miscarriage has always characterized the aftermath of her conception. It is an unfortunate reality yet many women ignorantly or otherwise continue to indulge in the very factors that catapulted their miscarriage. Miscarriages happen quite often to many women in Ghana. According to a 2017 health data, more than 10% of pregnant women experience miscarriages. One of the foremost causes of miscarriages is alcohol intake during pregnancies – the focus of this essay. The menace also happens due to many other factors like infection, hormonal imbalances, age, uterine abnormalities, etc. There is a strong relationship between alcohol intake while pregnant and miscarriage. In fact, statistics suggest that drinking even small amounts of alcohol while pregnant has a 19% chance of terminating the pregnancy. There is a notio

PRICKLY PRIDE

Ghana, the doctor of digitalization How your inhabitants are reaping its benefits All the way to suffocation Don’t you feel its fragrance   Oh Ghana, high praise indeed How that has rendered us rancorous Now we’re in need Of the surplus of the perceived generous   Dashing in haze Kneeling at feet in pride Is it just a phase Just like the looks of a bride   Or should we go back to the dark days Far from these ember days
