Poetry : The Black Star Tragedy


Kindergarten taught me the National Anthem 
And my right hand has been feeling my left breast every time I heard my teachers say "The Pledge"
So it was only natural that I miss that lecture, run to the TV room and just "wedge"…
The heat in the room just painted a picture perfect Daniel-Shadrack-Meshack-Abednego representation of what I was taught in Bible School
It made me wonder if it was a taboo to bath to avoid this pool of sweat…
I could swear 90minutes under this temperature was either illegal or could bake a full bread
But somehow the patriotism of the anthem sent chills of goosebumps through my body, pardoning the unbearable heat..
If you were outside, you would think it was the smell of an unsual type of bushmeat
These Burkinabes were particularly unromantic in sight
I couldn’t get used to Bance's face with all my might
And it became obvious he had the same frightening effect on our defenders…
Vorsah tried all he could to match his terror  by dying his hair yellow…
But it a bitter pill that even Macaulay Culkin couldn’t swallow
I pity my fingers now because I chewed all the nails that decorated it…
Wakaso gave us something to smile about whiles Bance made them dance…
Asamoah Gyan oh Asamoah Gyan… His name is enough to express my pain but I thought the wise said, "No Pain No Gain"
With the referee being just a confused catalyst
But alas! It was "Yahy3 y3n" part 3&4
I wonder where Keche were when it was time for "Sokod3"
For we become the "bayla" in Burkina's trap
It was unbelievable when the referee said it’s a wrap
But I guess Naija was lucky to miss us…
They were scared as ever…
Because no matter when we bow out, its GH now and forever.
We are Champions and the world will remember us forever.
