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

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 so...

Beyond words and dreams

You gazed I smiled The most expensive feeling yet It was the 'at first sight' experience The circumstance was greased with grace to a prayer I believed had been answered If love is Mathematics, please be my calculator I will be your dictionary if you need to make any statement May we look farther than the usual The situation might look less than standard but that's an understatement I want to live the rest of my life with you laughing and growing together We would go out and return home to where our love is brewed Overflowing and grooming generations unconditionally My love don't have to sweep you off your feet It would lift you off the ground anytime you fall As I look forward to being your pilot and making you soar to new horizons Let's walk not where the path may lead but create ours to where home is Beauty is something your life defines You're God's standard for intelligence and awesomeness For your compassionate heart is vast With ...

Someday....

Future, where are you? How far are you from me? Which planet can I find you on? Do you live in a palace in a strange land with beautiful and hardworking servants? Oh, when would you come to me? Or should I hope for an invitation notice? With my finest clothes, I shall honour your invite if I receive one For I wish to dine at your table if you are a King Thinking about the next step to take, I will pray to the Lord to protect and preserve you for me until we meet. I always dream about you Yet your image is blurry anytime I draw nigh So, hear these words of mine 'I still have faith that I will see you' Anytime we sit by the fireside I begin to smile My elders always tell a story about how bright you are. It is always interesting to listen to your stories and wish that they would never end. Then my elders say, we shall continue next time. They tell me that you await me in the unknown world. Patiently I will wait for you, My elders say to m...

PEACE EQUALS LIFE

IMCS PAX ROMANA PAX GHANA PEACE PROJECT (PAGHAPP) MESSAGE FOR THIS YEAR, 2016 “The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end; I will keep forever my promise of peace. So says the Lord who loves you” (Isaiah 54:10). Peace is a necessity.  It is a prerequisite to every final decision and step that to be taken. What more could a community search for? We as a people can fend for ourselves, if they leaders (political parties) believe we need assistance in these days, then it should not be on disguised conditions. In those days and months past, they had much more room to have supported us to make our livelihood better. We know the difference between the sunlight and lanterns. Whereas they pretended not to have been aware of our various needs over the years, we cannot compromise now. Please do not make the generation suffer your nuisance and negligence. Over the years, our leaders in Ghana have in one or another, maltreated and denied us the citiz...
