Poem
Unbroken Love Shells Do you remember the walls that stood between us like unbroken shells of fully boiled eggs? Do you remember there were no good reasons behind the periods of time we misunderstood each other when we first got acquainted? This balm of protection helped us to maintain our virginity We were enveloped in this substance deep down from the realms of the unborn world When we lay gently breathing as fresh fetus in our mothers' womb We appeared to mother earth as Africans building ancient castles in the air Beyond the genuine attractions that shined like seals upon our bond of friendship We kept circumventing our chats around the globe with a compass guiding us in the midst of our deep troubled seas We had exchanged smiles which stirred up questions awakening senses of insecurity Born as blacks there hung the pure shells that hid the vitality of our constancy -the rich nutrients our wearied souls would feed upon These nutrients would repair the broken tissues of the injuries we sustained upon the long hours of breeding fears within our spirits Feeling as though we were enslaved inside the not perforated mighty fenced cities belonging to King Agokoli of old May the very sharp pains that oozed from our palms of courageous handshakes not sound like the operation of the devil's juju May we never become embittered fellows We're one family- from one black descent All and sundry bathed constantly during infancy with the time- honoured mahogany leaves that stood in the centre of the Gold Coast Let's hold high the torch of love Keep it burning as we climb the Legon hills of this new era And breathe the moist air that keeps our proud continent unique Africa would unite to hear our success The story of the twin harmonious musical legends Nurtured from far distant unknown lands.
