IT'S RAINING

It's raining
Waists swinging
Hands wrapping
Legs crossing
Mouths sounding
Layers creaking

Pores sweating

We are at work

YUSSIF AHMED WRITES ON PARLIAMENT.

Little did I know that the saying that if you want to hide something from a black man, put it in a book wasn’t just a cliché but a reality. How is it that anybody would append his signature to anything without first reading its content? Some things are just mind boggling. For some days now, a document has been going round in parliament asking minority members of parliament to append their signatures to garner support for Former President John Mahama to run for the NDC flagbearership again in the upcoming 2020 presidential elections. This document is said to have seen as many as 94 signatures out of the 106 minority MPs in support of John Mahama. This tells how much support the former president still has in the NDC party. But can we say the same among the larger Ghanaian population? Well, a question only time and research can answer.                       Parliament House of Ghana. Among the numerous MPs who signed this docum...

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, ……………………..

UNINTENDED ERECTION

Close my zip for me, she said. You ladies arouse men and when they harass or cajole you and have sex with you, you later complain. “we are the preys but we provoke the predators to devour us,” an elderly woman shouted. In about half a minute, I didn’t know whether to close the zip for her or to decline same. With a smiling but confused face, I just closed it quietly. Until this moment, I had never considered sleeping with a lady solely by cajoling her without her actual consent. I don’t know how preying on a woman would be enjoyable to any man. Sure, you will have your happy ending but is that the only enjoyable element in sex? Even your happy ending will be rushed because of the circumstances surrounding same. My female friend who is also a nurse once told me that she will need foreplay of not less than half an hour before the actual sex. In fact, she needs both her foreplay and actual thrusting to last not less two hours. I have been in the same room with some of the most beautif...
