Light and Darkness

Have you heard darkness sing before?? Screaming so much the devil screams encore!!
That is the chant of confusion and temptation totalling deprivation of heavenly salvation
I'm talking about spiritual starvation
But the Son of Man is the Lord of redemption
See the devil is evil and uncivil like the weevil
He'll use you like morning cereal
So let Jesus be your Onga
Cuz Jesus is the true love formula
Your grace will grow as old as Methuselah
If you seek the devil ask Delilah
To Satan, you're just chicken meat... oh yes! A broiler!
Life is not all about the dollar
I say this cuz yuh my brother
This is love to you my sister
Go to Jesus Christ the master
And He'll clean you with his blood, the heavenly duster...

The Troublemaker (Tribute To Nelson Mandela) plus audio

Blow loud the mighty vuvuzela over the hills of Africa

Steaming hot like lava oozing out of the ancient Pangaea

Let it blast like the suddenness  of a bazooka

Let this not be a lullaby to send kids to sleep after an episode of diarrhoea 

Let the ancient kings of Egypt bow to an everglowing African star

Breathe-in and wait for the echoing chants from warriors down under

Madiba!! The troublemaker!!

We shall call you the lovemaker

The African soil is soiled

Your prison cell is imprisoned

Apartheid is a part of history we will not hide

Blessed beyond measure we salute you with pleasure

Segregation has a seizure

Light these candles of memorial and democracy would smile

Africa is in love with a troublemaker

Madiba The Troublemaker

We shall call you the lovemaker

Let's observe a minute silence for the old Africa

At last on these shores an African child shouts Eureka to new Africa

Nkrumah has waited long for this union

I bet the ancestral world has laid a red carpet but like Aladdin he would fly

SSShhhh!! Listen to Soweto cry and the constellations respond.. "Oh my"

Pray for reincarnation to be true

Wish against wish… Africa is in love with a troublemaker

Madiba… The Troublemaker

You were a lovemaker

27years is a price tearfully paid for that shout of freedom

Now new slaves eulogize the leader of liberation

With an echoing ring of foreign dependence and indigenous starvation

Africa hates Africa

I pray that as these flickers of life fade away

Africa will love again

Because Africa has always been in love with a troublemaker.

This Is Awkward!!

This is awkward

She walked past me with Ronaldinho's flair

Dazzled so much, I got as excited as Rick Flair

Maybe it would be fair to not stay clear of her and introduce myself as the next Tony Blair

At the end of the day who cares??  It wouldn't burn off my hair just to speak to her

Her hair bouncing as she came near,

My heart as soft as a wasted avocado pear

Now she stares at me…

This is awkward

Her look goes on and on and I start choking on my own air

I held unto my black tie which just like me was being blown away

Suddenly the witches of Achimota sneezed my swag away like a pile of clay

My tummy rumbled… Like play like play, this is last night's food doing a replay

With immense speed my bowels made motion to my southern gateway

Now in my head, I'm singing "Lay Away Lay Away"

But oh no Sway wasn't doing the verse this time,

Now… This is awkward

Closer she comes… A smile spreads across her face

I smiled back sheepishly as she quickened her pace

With a deep breathe I said to myself, "Peace be still, peace"

"Hi" she said with an angel's voice of grace as I tightened the bowels gates

The world seemed to move in circles as I hoped against embracing this disgrace

"I recall your face" she says…

I nod like a sick goose with an uncomfortable grin sheltering my southern business

Struggling against bowel hiccups she grabs my belt

"Give me my money", she screams!!

Now this is awkward!!

The unspoken chapter of not paying for her food opens like a birthday card

My face looking as disengaged as a sick retard

She shook me harder as she disregarded my "I will pay you tomorrow!!" plea

With too much bowel movement to flee, I stay put like a blood-sucking flea

Just then I realized church was no more in session

The New Year service festivities had just commenced with a procession  into the very streets I stood

As a guest pastor, being hooked by my belt in front of the congregation was never part of my new year resolution

Now this is awkward!

Feel free to leave a comment!! ;-)

Audio: Tribute To Maxwell Asumeng (T-Bagg)

This is my tribute to T-Bagg, JCR Organizing Secretary of Jean Nelson Aka Hall, University of Ghana who had a motor accident on Tuesday 8th October and passed on at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital on Thursday 10th October at the Southern gate of Legon campus.

Riding on the burnt horizon is a yellow knight
Looking fierce and with the masses' might
Captain of the army, swift like a blown kite
Riding down the valley you leave us with no light
Striking our hearts like a lost fight
How do we stand out whiles we cry out
We wish we could reach out and scream out
But your walk out has burnt our candles out
Logging out whiles we awaited your return to the ring for another knock out
Our eyes are reddened because our yellow knight rode out
With teary eyes we waited for you to step out
Now, royals cry royal tears
Only Kings understand royal fears
For we wear royal hearts for a royal brother bearing royal scars
Our chest bears royal marks scribbled with golden bars
Dripping with the blood of a brother
With honour we do salute a fallen sceptre
With dirt in our hairs we reminisce an unforgotten hero
These words were written with love and pain
As we await the heavenly rain that spells your name
STANDING OUT as the royal knight with a saint's mane.
REST IN PEACE T-BAGG, we shall meet again.

The Examination

Putting on my poker-face
Throwing in the challenge like poker chips
Approaching like an ace
And messing with no joker

Breathing hard and staring at the paper
Tension breathing down my neck
All hands on deck... Why did I even sit on this desk??

Anxiety is basically a gift
Then she came to sit
Holding the examination room temperature in a fist
Apparel meant to give a fit
Concentration and obsession swimming in one bottle
My brain hit the reset button as my fingers fumbled
More like the pen crumbled with two all-night studies gallivanting in my head like a jungle

With the beauty of a Greek goddess
Her backside was a beautiful mess
I guess the opening behind her waist is no chess
Carved to send my head to recess as I hear the unattractive voice echo...
"30 minutes more!!"
Just then, my heart skipped like my back had received a splash of water-pour!!

Time flew without warning but last semester's E8 grade is still staring
My fortunes exchanged for a fashion show!!
My heart sank... My father's stern rebuke ringing in my head with surround sound!
Another year and failure-bound
The walk from the exam hall was a trip to the underground
Waiting another year to write this paper again...
Looking to the sky I pray with a broken heart, my hands stuck to my ear,
Lord... please bring a fairer lady next year!

Life Is Overrated

Life is overrated,
Like an English footballer it is overhyped...
Because children are forced to believe in big and happy endings...
Sometimes you think you'll live in space when you grow
Everything seems black and white until public hairs make them grey
We live in this bubble until it explodes at the edge of the fountain that whisks you away
Life is definitely overrated

Every young adult is obliged to drive a car...
But isn't it just another invention??
An invention to stop you from walking and allow underrated hypertension
For isn't it senseless to be in a single room and drive a Mercedes??
Isn't it plain uncomfortable wearing a suit under the blaring sun just so you'll be revered as the modern Archimedes...??
Spotting sunglasses in the night when even blind people are disgusted by that...
Even more ridiculous, good living is characterized by being fat...
Life is overrated indeed

Otherwise a lady wouldn't put plastics on her eyes just to look like a cat
Wearing 12-inch heels when all you think off is taking them off
Make-up that reminds me of the popular movie "The Mask"
Mini skirts that are so mini that you can't bend down nor sit straight which slavemaster gave you that task???
Life is so overrated...

If not, you would use your hands to eat at that wedding reception and not disturb world peace with your imperfect fork and knife skills...
Life would be about the simple things like smiling and laughing to extend life
Making that lady your wife even if she's from a different ethnic group
And live like a fruit in the bloom..
Ripe and not concerned with borrowed standards...
Smell the air and sing a blissful song wherever you get the chance cuz life is simply overrated!!

Poetry : Political Worms

This voice would echo in the streets, doper than Dre Beats

The vibration of truth kept secret, louder than Bill's gates

A story of the heartless and the highly mindless

Their transgressions are countless and they are mildly fearless

But believe me, they are the most feared

Foolishly revered by brains that are impaired

The shepherd who steals his own sheep and cries wolf

Their basic conscience gone aloof  

Clothed as the league of Messiahs building evil empires

No wonder they call you "Politricians"

You are nothing but fake magicians

Conjuring tricks that make no sense

Feeding on the poor, licking your lips and smelling the incense

You begged  for my vote, now you act like a goat

Swimming in filth like a maggot

I suggest to you that you finance drug dealers

I put to you that you spend our money on "hookers"

I guess good speakers make good liars

Forget about unemployment and call us illiterates

Ignore poor health care and label us paupers

Mess with electricity  and buy a new car for young Felicity

This is an evil formality… The alpha of course - My stupidity

But trust me these chapters will unfold

The judgment of a nation is tenfold

Let the universe behold… A worm daring to be bold!
