Ghana

GHANA!!!

The blood sacrificed for our sake is being betrayed 
The landlors can't benefit from their own rich resources 
We starve on the green space whiles we await manna from the sky 
The hope couched in the star is gradually losing its black pigment. ..

Wake up Mother Ghana!!!

Happy Independence Day Mother Ghana!!!
It is your birthday!!!
I know you expected some panegyric spiced with literary devices on this day 
But sorry , though it might be uncouth,  I had to hit you with the truth 
I still love you regardless  Mother!!!
Your history is as rich as your culture 
You have an enviable home and people 
You instill discipline and abhor evil 
No wonder your compound is always peaceful 
I love you Mother!!!!
