KEEN AND KINGS


It's a beautiful brand new day,
And they finally have their way.
A battle meant for peace,
Should have been fought with ease.

Keen to make it at all cost,
Even that which is already lost,
King of the north 
Versus one who's had enough;
Kin of the south.
On grounds so tough,
With words baked to be rough.

It's not so surprising,
The wave was uprising,
Like snakes, they kept hissing,
Forgetting the glory day is missing.

Different party colours, 
One people with different orders,
One may have won,
The other seems gone.

Verily I say to Ghana,
Who can tell the mind of God?
I ask in a good manner, 
Did we choose a king or kin?
Maybe we overlooked, for our thumbs were so keen.
Or our choice was for a man who isn't mean.

He who battles and runs away,
May not do so for fright,
Nor for his passion to sway,
But for the sake of moro's fight.

It's a new day,
Particularly a thrilling thursday.
But things might not go the old way,
I only suggest Come what may,
Don't forget to pray and play.

YOUR own PEN

Something mostly divine, Sometimes, it's ours to define. Unlike the plant called Vine, Destiny seldom has pine. And it is our duty to prune and refine. From the feet till we see the spine. It may be a good omen, To which we shout Amen. It might have a fault to mend or dirt to filter, Which might make us think that God did falter. But we can write our own destiny. Yes, we always do. Remember that road you used to the mill, The particular person you talked to, Has it not been your own will? When you wanted to learn, Even when in prayer you did yearn, You took that training seriously, And you passed out successfully, That was your own destiny. That was your pen on paper. When you write, no one can alter. I am the secretary of the God you don't know. Now wait while I print yours out to show. Written down by you as white as snow.

HOT BALLS

Should little drops of water a lone be said to make up the ocean While rivers and rain help fill it to brim? When a man complains of hunger, Should he wait till a cropping season While he expects his wife to feed him? Would anyone sit on hot balls Without protection for his own balls? Hot rolled corn balls, Cooked and sold outside the mall Even though today's profit may stall, Vendor hopes to one day stand tall. And what sayeth the founders of wisdom When we ask for a life so wholesome? Patience is key they claim Followed by no pain no gain! But there's a feminine soul Who stood on one sole Slept late, awoke early Empties her bowl  Just to fill her children's belly Twisting and turning Forgetting she's burning Farming without earning All her efforts keep churning Yet what is her reward? A gloom by her so called steward. A rich man can cheat A woman does so and she is cheap Go to the street Ask the women you meet How they made daily meat Just because of a gentleman's...
