Oneday Oneday

Life at Okusibanstate
Is far opposite that of an estate
Yet, I seem less bothered
For in the few days to come
I shall bed and breathe in an estate

The morning swing on the village atonko
Seems like hours of comfort on a luxurious water closet
That I’m never in a hurry to leave
For in the few days to come
I shall decide when and where to pupu

The square meals of Bankye Ampesi without fish
Taste more like a bridegroom’s Hamburger
That I lick to the last green
For in the few days to come
I shall decide where and what to eat


For I’m building a solid foundation
To build on it a strong and a bright future
In the few days to come
Shall emerge a great and wealthy me
