Letter To Naa Anyeley

 

Dear Naa Anyeley,

I would won’t to begin by saying hi;
I know the responses will make you shy,

My reason for writing is that I,

Feel something fly,

In my stomach, each time I,

Set eyes on you, I guess it’s a butterfly,

//sigh//

I know your birthday was in July,

Please tell me what you’d like me to buy,

You from shanghai,

So you know I can supply,

All your needs if you comply,

To the reason why,

I apply,

My love for you will never die,

This is true, I would never tell a lie,

I love you more than the rice grains form Thai,

I recently customized your name on a necktie,

You are the apple of my eye,

The only narcotic that keeps me high,

The only person with a smile that makes me fly,

Would love you like a Canadian loves his apple pie,

Please tell those boys, who pursue you to standby,

If our parents disapprove I will still defy,

On me you can rely,

We’ve been bonded above none other can untie,

You’ll be the mother of my,

Children do you catch what I imply,

That I can’t deny,

You, because on your farm I will ply,

I love the spark in your eye,

Like the stars in the night sky,

I assure to keep you forever that I’ll try,

When you’re in trouble I’ll die,

To save you like the cast from titanic,

Oh no please don’t panic,

My heart beats each time for you,

Like a stereo from Panasonic,

What I feel for you is strong than scents from garlic,

Please remember to kiss the letter with your lipstick,

When you reply, never regard the critic,

Sometimes I feel a bit frantic,

If anything goes wrong, the measures I’ll take will be drastic,

I lay thoughts for you down like a brick,

I am a bit homesick,

Because am still in Munich,

But I know when I return, I’ll wed you in front of the public,

When you call mine name I melt like plastic,

Your voice sounds like an old classic,

Will never pass away like Ghana’s hi-life music,

Nothing can measure what I feel for you not even a yardstick,

With me your life is insured like sic,

My nurse when I fall sick,

So I’ll forever stick,

To you like glue,

I’ll never live you and that’s a clue,

My remedy when I catch flu,

Am ready to kick anybody who dares us with kung-fu,

I learnt from Peru,

I can’t keep my words short like a Haiku,

Your beauty is like that of the ladies from Hebrew,

When you’re trouble I’d come to your rescue,

I’ve you on my chest like a tattoo,

I stand up for you when all are against you,

Like Rev. Desmond Tutu,

I grantee that we’ll never argue,

Even if we do we’ll resolve because we know how-to,

Naa Anyeley my love for you is true,

Naa Adoley had her chance, but blew,

It away likes that bird that just flew,

My love for you grew,

Like that of Paul forjoe jnr & Akwele,

So let’s take queue,

Please add wele.

next your banku & okro stew,

But you stole my heart with the jollof & kelewele,

I miss the way you,

Walk and shaawele,

Oh Naa Anyeley,

Please remember that I,

Will forever cherish you.

Yours true,

Nii Darku.

When will Africa arise (part two)

                                                      

When will Africa arise?

How come we can’t rise each time we fall?

How many do we won’t to kill before we raise all?

I was taught civilization begun from Africa but now we they crawl,

There are a couple of attitudes we need to re-draw,

Before you act think about the people not the benefits,

Get that in your skull,

Campaigning for votes that’s what they say,

Promises and pledges, we vote, they win, you don’t have a say,

Because when they talk we carefully don’t listen,

Then we begin to cheer,

It’s our duty to recognize this politician and their lies,

We keep on asking the how’s & why’s,

When they lose, records of accounts get missing,

They claim they’re creating jobs but still,

Unemployment is a problem which must be dealt,

Because we’ve dropped what we have for what the whites have built,

Elected leaders, government officials, politicians,

Spend our money like know one’s business,

Some keep foreign accounts so after their term in office,

Is over they enjoy sweetness,

Some in this modern system still fight over cars this foolishness,

We’ve been working but we’re gaining no profits,

Is this our destiny to suffer this fate?

They have made our system so hard,

That even a three course meal is abominable,

People do make choice which explanations’ is unreasonable,

Education here & outside our shores is incomparable,

With no money education is not affordable,

Young girls sell their bodies for money to help support their families,

These things make some of us suffer too hard for them to realize,

Most of the youth has been demoralized about what’s happening,

While minister’s are into corruption & bribing,

The dude’s are into cyber- frauding,

Other’s find a way of duping people for a living,

The funds our leaders make when they export gold,

And other minerals haven’t been proven,

Some live extravagant lifestyle,

With the hard-working,

But less pay tax-payers money,

We sleep in broken homes they enjoy in mansions,

Pirates’ cease ships on the oceans,

How can we perform?

When we have no inspiration & motivation for the morning,

Abusive languages been used by our leaders should be our burdening,

There are lots to say but this are just few,

Lets all unite to help resolve

But how best can we help because Mother Africa has fallen,

This a question to us all……When will Africa arise?

By Nii Darko Ghanyobi.

When Will Africa Arise?

When will Africa arise,
Cos we should be ready even we've twice or thrice,
We should be ready to raise up & race,
We destroy ourselves like we got no price,
We've been living in darkness for quiet long,
Defenseless cry cos they are not strong,
Many flee their homes cos they have no idea how long,
This civil wars will prolong,
Ethnic leaders fail to solve when thing go wrong,
Military groups see civilian heads of state as a tong,
With guns & force they over throw,
Causing steadily developing nation cease to grow,
Many die other hurt but they careless as if it was just a show,
This why Africa's progressive pace is still slow,
Rater-Rater the sound of guns people died their blood flow,
Our streets are now turned into a war zone,
But we not living in the amazon,
We will always be drown back when citizens of a country take their guns,
With cutlass they inflect wounds on people instead of working on farm,
Victims are always been beaten, others shot down, chopped legs & arms,
War lords get intoxicated with power as if it was a charm,
Oh no a mother is been shot dead her little child crying,
Everyday peacekeeping troops are been flown,
But every day different challenges are been thrown,
Parts of Africa has been under this leaders whose got their head swollen,
Other take the opportunity to brutalize the people & their properties stolen,
We should be ready to help cos Africa has fallen,
We should make sure we settle our scores,
I don't know but i think i can't fill her pulse,
Take time never use force,
When ever you're asked to go fight do a re-think i mean u gotta pause,
Before we break through this we've got to be focused,
But poverty have found their ways around our necks like chains,
I still can't see why our siblings are been used as child soldiers,
Instead of been educated towards his future,
So he could became a pilot, lawyer or a doctor,
Resolving this issues should be our prime factor,
If there anything we've need to do it must be done faster,
Time-in,time-out we've always not had any solution to this situation,
So this a question to us all, When will Africa arise.

ITS OVER

                    

Once again,

She has left me,

She took my heart as a game,

Played with it as if it was a Nintendo wii,

 I remember,

Somewhere in December,

Where I first took her number,

I did call her regularly,

Than I call my best friend Larry,

She became my medication,

I called her three times daily,

As if I was on a doctor’s prescription,

She became my reason for waking up early,

Am always beamed with smiles,

Which made my friends dive into suspicion?

Even though she was miles,

Away the phone was our source of communication,

Just a few dials,

We’re in motion,

She gradually arrested,

My heart without a warrant,

Which I willingly donated,

Without been a bit observant,

Indeed appearance they say is deceptive,

No wonder she stole my heart like a fugitive,

Oh yes I deeply fell,

I made huge sacrifices,

I did anything to make her happy as well,

I made susu when I know I can’t afford the price,

For her under wear,

She once said,

M3 do wo ama n’ak) wo square,

This lifted my spirits high,

This made me cherish the moments with her,

This made me hate to tell her good bye,

All went well,

Till she told me I looked like a baboon,

This made me smash my head into a bamboo,

In my hometown this was a taboo,

Am still asking myself why?

She promised she would never leave me,

But she just dropped me from the sky,

I never believed she would’ve left me,

Tut, tut, tut, //shaking of head//

I told you so said sly,

He warned me from the days I spied,

Her walking down the street,

I don’t know what inspired,

Even though I knew her father was strict,

I bravely went to her house,

Her dad gave me a hot chase with his tsokpoti,

I wasn’t given the chance to see my spouse,

He screamed after me

S3 wo ba ha biom aa,m’a twa wo ti,

 //making the sign of the cross//

I was terrified,

Sweat dripped of my body, like water from Niagara Falls,

I didn’t know what this implied,

But she stopped picking calls,

She later sent me a text boldly in scripted its OVER.

By:- Nii Darko Ghanyobi.

I Just Begun To love You....(You Are)

  You are not the air that I breathe,
you are the sweet scent that drifts upon it

You are not the sounds that I hear,
you are the music of my life

You are not the food that I need,
you are the nourishment of my soul

You are not my will to survive,
you are my reason for living

It is with you that I experience
the wonders of the world

To the world, you may be one person
 But to me, you are the world,
It's as easy to stay in love
with you as it was to fall in love,

It is with you that I triumph
over the challenges in my path,

It is your partnership that will lead me
to the fulfillment of my dreams,

It is your friendship that guides me
as I grow and learn,

It is your patience and wisdom
that calms my restless nature,

Thinking of you with love and wishing
you everything that brings you happiness today and always
It is through you that I know my true self,

I do not take you for granted,
I cherish you Henrietta Naa Atwsei Adjetey.

These Words

                                   
Words are prolific and symbolic in our lives as a source,
Of information or communicating of a sort,
In the formation of our thoughts,
In portraying our thoughts,
When spoken revels faults,
When spoken could be true or false,
These words settle scores,
Or motivates or ignites wars,
Travels faster then a concord, Ferrari or a horse,
They exhibit our remorse,
Its heard harder then knocks on doors,
Its sinks our fears,
And dries our tears,
Making us different from our peers,
Celebrates your good time by saying cheers,
Circulating our daily activities like musical chairs,
These words prevail over our minds,
In instances they unruffled the mind,
Wars in our minds over words we speak,
Gets us answers if we seek,
Beautifully describing what we see,
Draws back smiles on face we see,
Weighs heavier than gravity,
Melts a frozen hearts,
Wins you the prettiest of hearts,
Gains you a standing ovation or dubbing of hats,
They vindicate our action,
Perfectly demonstrates our passion,
Recognizing our intension,
Reveals whatever there is without vision,
Impacts knowledge in our education,
Words from the past still exists today,
An injury is been healed quicker every passing day,
But words don’t because they’re here to stay,
Watch what you say,
They never decay,
Calms you when distressed by saying its okay,
Discovers the truth, that others have problems with their faith,
Provokes you to draw your sword,
Wait a minute what are these words,
I have no clue, not even the flying birds,
Surprisingly I still can’t accustom,
When well spoken enkindles wisdom,
Sweet talks even a women will succumb,
Your own words could keep you in thralldom,
But with words Ghana gained its freedom,
Well chosen words could produce rhyme,
I get my inspiration from KING Sonny Rhymes,
Yes am talking about the spoken word,
We are those words P.O.E.T.S.

Dusty-Philosopher

   Dusty-Philosopher

Am a like dusty foot philosopher,
Who portray the word, the spoken word like a photographer'
Poesy has got rhythm that could make you like a choreographer,
My words is going to baffle you like a women with an Adams apple,

 More words will travel,
My words are unruffled,
I don't know how many men, who've lined up against me,
But I don't care if anyone doesn't step up to defend me,

  However one of this awakened me,
They could try but to no avail,
While am conveying wisdom to my generation,
This alone would gives me the motivatation,

  Action, thrilling suspense, drama, I feel my life is like the movies,
Laughter, Hatred, Pain, Joy, sorrow, grief, How do I prevail through these,
The struggles, I feel am part of the Black Fugees,
Am getting lots of ideas like logs of Mugees,
I refuse to be broke like R2bess,

  This word were spoken long before our birth,
This word unveil the truth which makes other have problems with their faith,
They still exist even after our death,
No one has ever sacrificed to uncover the myth.....
