Bring Back Our Gold Coast

Good bye Gold coast
I really owe you a toast
Walking down your seacoast
Of you I will forever boast

I have missed you old friend
Of my forefather "Lang lana"
Will I see you before the end
of your second life  Ghana

She is all grown now
Her breast well stocked in her dress
Her beautiful shea buttered skin
Win the hearts of kings

The small pots in her back
Compliments her mighty hips
Like watermelons in a sack
Which every man worships

Now she has a broken moment at hand
Memories you left are getting lost
Her dreams flooded under the sand
Just water remains in her eyelids

She has been defiled a million times
Still going through difficult times
She is pregnant without a husband
Taunted in her own land

In the walls of my beating heart
Are memories of your beauty
I look at the stars all night
With the hope of having you in sight

To die is part of nature
To dissappear will torture
You can pang me and flee
Just don't mess with my Gold Coast
That I won't agree

Oh mother Ghana
The fragrance of your soil was sweet
Just the way she left it
Now there is a price we have to pay
For the beast called "Galamsey"

Don't just be a Ghanaian
You would be like a comedian
Let's find solutions
As our new year's resolutions

We don't want today's Ghana
We don't like her persona
With her we can never boast
Just bring back our Gold Coast.

Whispers of the Night Watch

When darkness falls and shadows creep, My watch begins, a vigil to keep. I gaze upon the stars, so bright and grand, But one by one, they slip from my hand. The moon, a beacon in the night, I watch her fade, no trace of light. The breeze, it whispers a tender tune, As trees sway, their dance in gloom. The ground, it slumbers, peaceful and deep, While dogs howl, their secrets they keep. I stand alone while others dream, Sleep eludes me, a relentless theme. Is this my fate, a night watch's plight? To wander through darkness, devoid of respite? With a heavy heart, I question my role, A solitary figure, seeking solace for my soul. I'm a guardian of the night, in service I remain, Sacrificing sleep, a solemn vow I sustain. To safeguard the slumber of ordinary souls, In their fearless rest, my purpose gently unfolds.

Chasing Memories

Chasing Memories  In Jannah's embrace, you lie at peace, While I strive to honor you, my love, never cease. Oh, Mommy, it's a challenging path I tread, To survive, your memory kept sacred. Everyone who met you attests to the fact, In your presence, their souls felt intact. How generous you were, your heart so wide, In the depths of your love, many found solace to confide. I feel your absence, a void so deep, Yet, we share a heart, forever it will keep. I'm but a shadow, barely living, As you rest, my heartache, unrelenting. Your heartbeat is still here, never gone, For in mine, its echoes linger on. I can't pretend, grief holds me tight, The world sees my invisible tears every day and night. Oh, how I long for one more chance, To feel your love, to share a last dance. In these words, emotions rise and swell, A poignant tale, a heartache to tell. Invisible tears may flow, and nights may be long, Yet your love in my heart, a forever song. I'll carry your legacy, your
