Songs To My Chief Kporku

SONGS TO MY CHIEF KPORKU In this house of yours The air brews of peace That long, we longed to feel That atmosphere of dreamed love What a father gives us, babies Open like ripen fruits of a great fan palm To which ants throng in chains To which bees throng in droves And we humans hunts hungrily Only for the comforts we cherish From you great King of people. The heart of our souls The Soul of our hearts To which our chords are anchored Never snap to let loose of us As this world is too open, too cruel, too blind Ready not to favour orphans Without a link to your dream for us, live So in perpetual flow Cover us, our shade Protect me, my armour Father them, the mentor. To make our song complete Been composed of you, Togbui Kporku
