Son of Dagbong

You have the heart of a Lion 

The brain of a philosopher  

The strength of a warrior 

And the voice of a King 👑 


You are the answer 

To the prayers of many

Even in darkness 

You shine 


You are a tough seed 

Even in stones, you grow 

In a supersonic speed 

In darkness, you glow 


You are the kindle 

That burns in the rain 

You always bridle 

People's pain


You are the wood 

That sharpens iron 

Your zero tolerance for falsehood 

Shall take you to Zion


You are the sun 

That brightens our day 

You are the moon 

That lightens our career 


You are the son 

Of Our forefathers 

I can go on and on 

I still cannot describe you 


Son of Dagbong 

Chief Worrior 

Voice of the People 

Karifi 💪🏾



Note: This poem was written to celebrate the Birthday of a man who has touched the lives of thousands. My words cannot describe him well, I just tried to. Happiest Birthday to You Alhaji BAWA Abdul JALIL. God bless you more 🙏🏾

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
