Scarlet Thread Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Red thread,
Black head,
Captain of the guard,
Muse, use!
Scarlet Thread;
Honour in the eyes of the truth.

Ant,
Slant,
Attendant,
Plant,
Seer, overseer!
The cheer of the heart.

The truth is the Shield in the Field of love!
Trusted,
Entrusted,
Handsome in form and appearance.

Dance, trance!
Attendance;
Beautiful in form and appearance.

Day after day,
Night after night,
To say the words! !
Words of peace and love,
And to stay with righteous laws.

Cream, scream, stream!
Ways of life,
Understanding nature;
With all the rules around!
Able to overcome.
