As bright as the morning star
The smile of the adversary
With the teeth of a twinkling star
Like no blood beneath, ne’er scary
...
The memories of my early days
Become as green leaves
Of the dew morning
Whenever I behold
...
As little as its value
Without grace or honour
Oblivion to the poor
And a door mat to the rich
...
So long have we been laboring
Too tight have we been stretched
Sharing the fate of Job
As we’re always denied the fruit of our labour
...
Cape Coast, Cape Coast
Where I belong
A Paradise I dream never to leave
As long as the sand calms the wrath of the tides
...
She walks like one with valour
She works like one with power
And her voice, like one with harper
She smiles like one with dollar
...
Gone are the days of our forefathers
where civilization had not begun
a child had no place in the gathering of elders
...
As I walk on the silent road
Weary of this long restless journey
A journey along the dry desert
Though endless as eternity
...
We were offered heaven and hell
We should have taken caution
For we could have spat on hell
But we realized not the option
...
A glance of my yesterday,
Aches my soul
A reflection of my past,
Bows my head in shame
...
