REVEALED ( THE TRUTH)
If walls had ears, the world will know no peace
Millions would be in trouble
They are the only true witnesses of things done in the dark ,Yet they don’t speak
We realize our identity when alone ( both good and dangerous thoughts run through)
We are at liberty to do anything because no one is seeing us
The footage of our ugly lives is safe somewhere
Unlike archaeology and numismatics where evidence is fragmented
This gives a clearer picture
We always forget the biggest camera which is above us
It’s better than every other lense, awuku photo sef nodey come
Honestly, we all have a life to live
Let’s not forget we have an account to give
I’m a sinner, yes I admit
You are too, you think say you be saint?
Apuuuu!!!
Like every other school
We have a classroom
One great teacher
A syllabus (BIBLE)
And a globe full of students
Lessons taught, lessons learnt
Mistakes inevitable, mistakes unexplainable
Trying so hard to follow the syllabus
I don’t think I can follow when I don’t have a stable mind
I keep looking at the playful children outside (unbelievers)
The curse of comparison but I wish I was like them
Being like them means I will be a drop out
Chale, I don’t want to stop too
Okay then let me a vagabond
Atleast I’m still a student
Allow me play with these kids for awhile
I will be serious when exams is approaching
I know of a pop up quiz too
Eiiiii, what if I miss it
There won’t be a make up test, so I miss the opportunity forever
Fam,this is the hard truth
This is an epitome of the world
Instability is the new world order
That great day is coming
You can’t run away from it
Because the truth was REVEALED
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?
