WINGS OF LOVE

-

 I could never sling my shot

You were yet a familiar face

A birdie I couldn’t shuu

So, I maneuvered the phase

 

Gradually, you metamorphosed

Under the wings of love, I arrive

You, wielding the wealth to secure my foe

I come to you now, heart in hand

 

Ready to unfold a life of ecstasy

Bearing what I could not, before

Planting seeds of ecstasy

Hoping to foil our foe

 

Will you yield to what I demand

Or is it otherwise you command

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...

Yes, I went to a wedding ceremony last week on Sunday. Now, before the trotro vehicle which would eventually stain my white dress the next day (weird) pulled out of the Darkuman Official Town circle spot, a lot of dust began to settle in it. We, the passengers looked around and found out that a mentally challenged individual was sweeping along the street. Some of the passengers began to make some unsettling comments. While others insulted the sweeping mentally challenged lady to be insane, others spoke of how nobody had sent her to sweep the roadside that early morning. After they have made all these comments and many others like them, it got me thinking. So, the mentally challenged person has realized that the place is dirty and for that matter needs cleaning but the mentally sane people don’t see that. The mentally challenged sees that we need a clean environment to live healthily but the mentally sane individuals don’t see the same thing. Above all, the mentally chal...

THE ENEMY WITHIN

The Ghana Institute of Journalism launched its sixtieth anniversary today. Sadly, it rained in my area this morning so I could not make it to the launch on time. Well, I got to the campus around 3:30 pm. It was also the same time that the canopies erected for the occasion were being packed. It was like being given the black (kanzo) part of the rice you helped cook because you were not around when it was ready to be consumed. Just serve it to the goats and curse the people in your head. Satan also hears silent prayers. I stood under one of the ‘permanent’ canopies on the campus as God continued to wet the earth while He stayed in a dry heaven. While I stood and gazed and imagining whether the school is actually sixty years, something happened that I cannot resist writing about. Ghana would be far advanced in terms of civilization and development if we, the citizens were law-abiding and not as obstinate and insistent on the wrong things like the devil himself yet we pretend to wo...
