I had a dream!
A dream that came in the outfit of love.
In the premises of this dream
I saw out of the unknown many
...

When mum died,
The public litter bins became the mangers that sheltered my dinner.
When mum died,
I became a wardrobe of reekish rags, a popular carteen for flies When mum died,
...

Pleas', murder it not

Take me to the calvary
...

Here we perished
For a count'y we so much adored
But did our dear country love us?
...

If thy work is to lie idle and command heaven,
To serve you coffee and bread of honey for breakfast, fried rice and chicken for lunch, pizza for supper,
I promise thou shall have all in the most priceless famous garbage restaurant where the scavengers equally suckle
If thy work is to lie idle and command heaven,
...

I bid not a plethora of gold
Or silver for thy love,

Not a giant graceful palace
...

O' Ghana,
Bid not thy gallant hope farewell

Let not the pestilence of despair rob thy glamorous dreams
...

...

Tell them!

Look on to my face
And let fall the secret
...

Doubt not, she worth than nature
Arena of beauty, thy love I seek
Lie here with me forever
On thy bosom, perish my loveache
...

Oh love, now I feel you!
After the dozen years you lay me breathless in that psychiatric infirmary
Where i thought of her always
And made love to her in dreams.
...

Mock my bulky eyes,
If you think your zig-zag legs are arranged perfectly
Mock my crooked head,
If you think your shapeless ears are trimmed perfectly
...

Love me not because of my beauty,
For beauty is a mortal!
Mine will fade off your sight if a new beautyful is discovered.
Love me because I'm your breath and soul.
...

They that murder, rebuke the devil
They that rob or plunder, rebuke the devil
They that rape, rebuke the devil
They that fornicate, rebuke the devil
...

I stared at the burden,
That the callous hands of this poor littlun gripped
And scolded nature for his birth.
Though a mile from him i was,
...

With that kiss of Judas she gave me,
I knew I was abandoned to be mocked by loneliness.
She sold me pricelessly to hell and went in quest of new love.
...

Ask not why, in lot hours
I have tied thee to my sight without a blink or turn.
Truly, I blink not,
for I feel thy beauty I will miss
...

Before thy made a single walk off my sorrowful presence
I missed thee a billion times!
I knew not when my hand held firm thine hand that was a thousand mile off mine
But I knew the huge power of true love made me seek thee in that stormlike gallops!
