The Sunshine Struggles
THE SUNSHINE STRUGGLES
The morning dew makes the brightness dim
The morning sunshine struggles to permeate the clouded atmosphere
Dews clumps visibility and the fog demands fog light for vehicular commuters
Yes! On top of the highest man exhibited location
In Ghana, Abetifi; the topmost of a palm tree
Swinging man through the cold that the old folks dare
This is to inspire rather than dismantle solutions to
The difficulties, challenges and the undesirables we made ourselves
Like the syringe of the nurse to the patient.
Though the vision is not clear, its attainment is much needed.
Work’s got to be done, though the cold weather requires adequate cozy bed’s comfort
Discipline eroded by the spare of the cane
Baffled as to how to change the chain of morale degeneration
The culture thrown away to put the unfamiliar in its place
Replacing instant correction with future rapture
Where judgment will be passed in favor of the righteous
How do one trim the young to be righteous?
In the mist of the agitation of child’s rights?
Forgiveness is the wish of the Holy one
There is no ‘buts’ in this,
But the forgiven has got to change
And how?
The sun will definitely permeate the fog, dew and drizzles
To open up the scene of bright breezing Kwahu ridge
And the Akuapem hills
Where immorality and the right to sin will be no more
And discipline will put on her best cloth
To dine happily with all on the dinner table set by the Holy one.
