In 2020...

We defied the odds.

We make history in the present.

'Normal' is a thing of the past.

Together means miles apart.

Not all theories are not potent.

The context is valuable content.

Our survival remains constant.

The reality means your breath intake is consistent.

The wall is the law.

A winning trump card is forbidden.

And home shielded us from the omen.


We understood that all things are possible.

Although apart, we were more unified.

Unquenchable flames were ignited in the youths.

Productivity in our beds became the best option.

We lived even when death looked us right in the eyes.

The old generation came to appreciate the "demonic" technology.

We realised profiteering was not the way of only the rich.

The selfish attitudes of the yesterday are the survival tactics of today.


The youth exuberance came with a new vibe.

We held rallies and turned tables.

We got beaten, burned, broken and barred.

Then we were left with our dreams to wear on our sleeves.

To all the fallen souls and soldiers, you are forever in our hearts.

Into the earth, our remains were concealed.

Nonetheless, we rise, we fly and we soar.

We are Phoenixes.


So we keep soaring!

Walking through the years

Tattered Dreams

They played the part yet plot the pact. Instead of repair, they lead in the shadow to rip the earth; Our gods are not to blame but them. They have betrayed our ancestors, Posterity can wait no longer. Arriving from yonder, they have come to judge our every move, To the letter in every decision backing our move. Dear Mother, my honour is stained and tattered! To where has my father departed? It seems our collective dream has shattered, The pieces pierced our feet and bruised our skin. My siblings' wail but the elders make merry. Our village is lurking around wealth, But our daily bread is locked up in the vault. We dread treading the path to revolt, And gathering momentum outgrow our ill-health. This is not the future we dreamed of. Our dreams, precious like the mineral that has taken our place now. The elders paraded the corners of my street with pseudo promises. We’d believed for a moment but our springs quickly dried up, And they silently masterminded the raid to rip our homes...

Until death beckons

Life and death the inseparable pair In the former, all is fair Beyond the latter, we despair Ironically, some think otherwise The former and latter each happen once Whether fair or despair, we exist to pay the price From cradle to grave We live, both the fainthearted and the brave Life and death are a must  Move on, Press on, Live on Rise up and grind hard Take that bold step Be carefree, fear no mistakes Be grateful, stay faithful Growth fruitful, live happily Forgiving and Believing We may live long but we die in a dash Then everything will disappear in a flash Smile when you can and blush if need be Let's share the laughter Before dreams shatter And we don't matter anymore Hence, let our today matter more We have much, so life and death expect much in equal measure. Until death beckons, be life's beacon! Credit: Etsy

International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS) PAX ROMANA,Ghana Federation

Giving the giver that gives you peace and love from the bosom of the size-less heart all the praise  We are matching up to the ends of the earth to make sure that our task of discipleship really goes aboard; this is the title of our hymn “LIBERATION FOR PEACE”    The Holy Spirit knows boundaries; he cannot be limited in his own jurisdiction. So moving on to proclaim that which we have been taught by the teacher, we shall spearhead the action and affirm someday to come “THAT CHRIST MAY BE IN ALL” Not forgetting to promote the student Apostolate among students in higher education, in the Church’s mission and in the world; we came into existence to continue preaching and teaching the word that have life in itself to manifest wonderful and marvelous things according to the Will of the creator, Our Father... Moreover we recognize and work with all concerned men and women for joint action and reflection leading to a more just and equitable social order a...
