Unbroken Love Shells
Unbroken Love Shells
Do you remember the walls that stood between us like unbroken shells
of fully boiled eggs?
Do you remember there were no good reasons behind the periods of time we misunderstood each other when we first got acquainted?
This balm of protection helped us to maintain our virginity
We were enveloped in this substance deep down from the realms of the unborn world
When we lay gently breathing as fresh fetus in our mothers' womb
We appeared to mother earth as Africans building ancient castles in the air
Beyond the genuine attractions that shined like seals upon our bond of friendship
We kept circumventing our chats around the globe with a compass guiding us in the midst of our deep troubled seas
We had exchanged smiles which stirred up questions awakening senses of insecurity
Born as blacks there hung the pure shells that hid the vitality of our constancy
-the rich nutrients our wearied souls would feed upon
These nutrients would repair the broken tissues of the injuries we sustained upon the long hours of breeding fears within our spirits
Feeling as though we were enslaved inside the not perforated mighty fenced cities belonging to King Agokoli of old
May the very sharp pains that oozed from our palms of courageous handshakes
not sound like the operation of the devil's juju
May we never become embittered fellows
We're one family- from one black descent
All and sundry bathed constantly during infancy
with the time- honoured mahogany leaves that stood in the centre of the Gold Coast
Let's hold high the torch of love
Keep it burning as we climb the Legon hills of this new era
And breathe the moist air that keeps our proud continent unique
Africa would unite to hear our success
The story of the twin harmonious musical legends
Nurtured from far distant unknown lands.
