Edward Kofi Louis (13th October 1961 / Accra, GHANA)
Resist The Devil
Resist the devil and,
He or her will flee from you!
Clean up your acts and live in peace;
He, her!
Clean up your mind and live in unity;
Table, able!
The big share;
Taking place in the land of your muse,
But, resist the devil and her or her will flee from you.
Able, Abel!
With words of peace and love;
And, try to be on the right side always.
Art, articles!
In the land of your muse;
But, try to be very wise in what you do.
Tactics, statistics!
With the works of peace and love;
But, try to share with one another and live in peace.
Facts, acts!
Bring out the truth to others and live in peace;
And, try to share with all around you.
Pages, stages!
Being able to do the right thing;
Stored, restored!
With peace, love, joy, unity and care;
Course, courses!
With love and peace to all mankind;
He, she!
So resist the devil and, he or she will flee from you.
