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.
