REVEALED ( THE TRUTH)

THE BURDEN OF SIN

I keep asking myself why I do what I do

Why go back to the same thing over and over again

It looks like it’s part of me now

Can’t do without it

And I keep asking for forgiveness

Want to be pardoned but I don’t want to stop sinning

How do I go about this thing

I think I’ve had enough

Can’t be going back and forth

Just when I thought I was done with it

I do it again

I give up, I’m tired of trying

My efforts are useless without the help of the HOLY SPIRIT

And this time I can’t go before DADDY

I’m ashamed of myself

I keep disappointing HIM

but He never stopped loving me

How can HE love someone like me dearly

HE whispers

I CANT GIVE UP ON YOU

Almost thought I had lost my salvation

Imagine, He left the 99 sheep to come for me

Because I was lost

I just can’t keep calm

I have to strive to get there

To be that guy

The precious BLOOD cannot be taken for granted

The BLOOD signifies love

This love cannot fade

And will always work on my behalf

The blood is the lens through which God sees us

It’s about time I do what Romans 12:1 says

Even in my down moments, I’m motivated by Philippians 4:13

The LORD IS KING

God is merciful

His kingdom reigns forever

Repetition means emphasizes

He go love you over and over again

Don’t be shy

It’s okay to feel guilty

With open arms

He will receive you

Remember HE WILL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU

FORGIVE ME LORD

Most often I look up and I remember my sins

Thinking of things ahead

I recall the things I did in my mind without knowing they were sins

Then I kneel after I have recalled

I call on my father in heaven

I stir in glare, the things I did

And the things I lured innocent souls into

Focusing on my flesh

I look out for my fleshy desires

Satisfying them was my priority

I end up hurting many

Thinking of my transgression and failure

I am being reminded of my indignation

I’m lost

Drowned in thoughts and tears

But then I remember the cross

I remember I have a Saviour

I remember that I have the One who died for me

I remember that His blood went forth as a sweet flavour

Into God’s throne when He suffered for me

Still kneeling beside my bed, I pour out my heart

To the One who loves me so much that He died

I confess my sins and failure from the depth of my heart

To the one who saved me through His death

Suddenly I feel His presence

The One and only Redeemer by my side

The Merciful Father is by my side

To take away all my sorrows

To wipe my tears away

That I had to bear because of my sins

Like the desktop

He moves them to the recycle bin

Opens a new page

And all I need to do is to write right

At this point

I feel empty

The burden has been carried away

The scriptures doesn’t lie

1 John 1:9 did the magic

Not leaving 2 Corinthians 5:17

The Blood indeed speaks

Giving me an assurance of freedom

NO ONE IS A SAINT

Love has been defined in different forms by different people from different cultures

And so one asked

Is it nature’s trick to ensure continuity?

The regular features has been misused and misinterpreted

Love is patient, tolerating one’s flaws

Love is kind, taking advantage of someone’s generosity

Comparing the new age to the old one, the Adam’s did great in expressing it

The patriarchs managed to explain it

But yaanom added spices

Hiding the real meaning

Misleading a group of vibrant misfits

Enough of internet age misconception

This affection is too great

Too strong and pure to be underused

Love was initiated the moment God created us

Further expressed when His only son died for us

It’s renewed everyday

Refilled every second

we are too busy to notice

Always in a haste to commit

‘Body no be firewood’ becomes their slogan

Making womanizing look attractive

Everyone is a suspect

More pastors and leaders of the church are good at this

It’s the new trade

You don’t need a start-up capital to begin

You need to be a skilled liar and a sweet talker

Wait,

Who should be blamed for this ?

KILL ME ( domestic violence )

Violently abusing your partner should be a thing of the past.The world is more advanced to have such inhumane practices

I agree relationships are sometimes sour

Endowed with so many fights and arguments

With its highs and lows

Something similar to wavelength

Looks like mine doesn’t have good times after fights

He pulls my hair.

I think he learnt it from wrestle mania

Slaps my face.

Just like the talking drum

He kicks me on the floor

Like Asamoah Gyan playing penalty

But i love him so much

So I don’t have the strength

My energy drained

To walk right out the door.

I’m a fool full of affection

There’s blood on my face.

Everything hurts,

And all I can do is cry.

My heart won’t let me leave him,

And it hurts too much to try.

I wonder if this is how my life will be

From now until I die.

Apologizes to me

Cuddles me

Worse case scenario, he cries

I forgive him

And everything seems normal

For now at least because I know

It will happen again in time.

Funny enough I’m aware of these red flags

But I pray he changes

MY BIGGEST FAN(tributepoem)

This is dedicated to my dear friend ANNETTE BAFFOUR NKRUMAH ( nettie) ..You are gone but not forgotten.Damirifa due

Life’s truck has hit me

Your demise has crippled me

My thoughts are all about u

Just when I thought things were getting better

You left

Without any notice

It’s okay to miss you,

It’s okay to cry.

Just know I’ll never forget you.

This isn’t a permanent goodbye.

I sit and wonder

How life’s going to be without you

standing by my side,

Critiquing my work

And enjoying my pieces

Giving me the courage

To carry on with pride.

You were a complete package

YOU WERE MY BIGGEST FAN

Nettie, I know how silly I can be at times

But you condoned it

I remember how we planned on writing, recording and performing together

I’ll hold onto our memories,

Until this life is done.

Rest in perfect peace

Until we meet again

#R.I.P NETTIE

DEATH BEFORE HONOR

I’m lost in thoughts as I’m lost in life

Wish someone could show me the way

Turns out everyone is using a different route

I doubt I can trust one with my torch

Not because they are blind

Because replica and original are intertwined

Everyone and everything is double-faced

The environment has left life in space

Running tirelessly just to create space in our hearts

Chasing the wind

Feels so good to be loved

Greatly surrounded by people yet I’m lonely

The heart beating for the wrong things

Forming emptiness in it

Until one is greatly missed,

Respect,honor and love will be enemies

Scientists think diseases dehumanise

I beg to differ

Loneliness kills faster than anything

Funny how we pray against the devil

And not against loneliness

” Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it “.

We all die.

The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

It’s not how long you live but how well you lived

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.( J.K. Rowling )

No person was ever honored for what he received. …

Life lessons got me thinking

Life and dishonor

Death and honor

At the end,

Men chose to honor the dead

LAZY GENERATION

The curse of comparison will be invoked

The stone age is better than the internet age

And the latter house shall be greater than the former but this time the former is greater than the latter

It will be best if we learned from the greatest

Let’s ask them how they did it

We enjoy so much peace now

Forgetting those who fought for it

The old must be seen and heard

Their silence is killing us

Some old are poisoning us

Sugar daddies spoiling our girls

Sugar mummies pimping our boys

Yaanom falling for each other

F boys dating slay Queens

Just a messed up generation

I fear for the next generation

They will miss prayerful mothers

And responsible fathers

Is the world really at its old age?

All we know is how to update status on whatsapp and Facebook

Not updating our statuses in life

Well abreast with the internet

Rather watching breasts

Poking, when one is thinking

Liking when you are not wanted

Mama said ‘ life is not what you tweet or post on Instagram ‘

Married and faithful to sin

Come in not Cum in

21st century they say

So you for look fly

You for be hard guy

You for dey Street .

The street ain’t safe anymore .

Many people in ‘jalabia’, we can’t see the real Muslims

Able to jail break foolish codes,

Disable to decode wisdom .

What a shame !!!

We are all guilty .

Well I know we are good at one thing

GIVINGUP

MAY GOD HELP US

GHANA IS LOST

Democracy, which basically means decision making authority lies with the majority or citizens has been thrashed. Leaders don’t listen to the citizens they rule. A design for a new chamber was unveiled by the speaker of parliament during a courtesy call on him by architect David. The new edifice is said to replace the current one. The 450- seater chamber will feature a library, canteen and even room for prayers. Why the need for a new chamber while the current one serves the same purpose. It’s just a misplaced priority. The focus has just been shifted. There are still schools under trees, poor road network, bad sewage among others. Like the saying goes ‘they have their heads abroad and backs here”. Even though they travel to the great cities they still don’t add anything to the lives of the people. Bringing nothing to the table. It seems the law makers don’t care about the welfare of the people. We can do nothing since they are in charge of the money. There is gross mismanagement of funds and it seems they are accountable to themselves only. Ghana, a country which has seen it all when it comes to retrogression must be doing themselves a great harm. This government promised heaven on earth during its campaign, but its seems they are doing the exact opposite of what they promised. Looks like we are fine being married to poverty. We are just good being a third world country. As it stands no politician is deemed fit for a leadership role
Lies and deceit are just the characteristics of modern day politicians. Corruption, favoritism and nepotism have been with this country since time immemorial. Great men are remembered for significant changes. They mostly affect people’s lives positively with their actions. Trying to change history and ignoring buildings built by your predecessors makes you no winner. Getting your priorities right and ruling in the interest of the people is what makes the difference. The people of Ghana should air their views on this issue. It’s our future and money. The more we allow them do things haphazardly, the more we sink. Continuous cry and petitions will bring order. Constructive criticisms will put the government on its feet. Let’s stop politicizing everything for the country is for all of us not just a selected few. Let’s go for a ride with all the lies. We will be stagnant until we practice what we preach. And that leads me to my question
Is Ghana a two-party state?
