Kakra Sarfo-Amponsh Poem
In my quest for self discovery
I realised the problem plain to see
Anxiety, timidity and ignorance
Bravado,pride and arrogance
All gain my innocuous disdain.
My desire for acceptance
Left me baffled on the importance
Of self love and self worth.
The vast possibilities that would be
Who I was, who I am, who I could be.
The doubt, confusion and fears
Have led me here.
I may not be perfect
But these attributes identify me.
I dare not change me
For I am different
I love different, and I love me.

Kakra Sarfo-Amponsh Poem
They hide their maliciousness and evil intentions behind masks of righteousness and perfection.
The moment you feel you have an ally, it turns around and soon feels like the whole world is against you.
What can be done? We are but measly, powerless beings in the grand scheme of things
Stranded in an unjust world eager to maintain its unfairness under the guise of preserving tradition.
A world where elders abuse authority and respect and manipulate religion and culture to cover up their misgivings and wrongdoings.
The growing generation is caught in the crossfires between two realities;
A world of change and growth and a world of tradition.
Is tradition more important than a fulfilled and content life?
These thoughts run through my mind as I fall victim to yet another manipulation of culture
Ideologies are misconstrued as pride and disrespect for authority.
A promise is made with a tear-stained face
I choose a fulfilled life over a life of despair
The manipulation ends with me.

Kakra Sarfo-Amponsh Poem
Woman, a being of complexity
Enigmatic is your femininity
Firm is your desire for equity
To keep it lasting in perpetuity.
Woman, a being of perplexity
Victory is in your destiny
Your regal splendour,
A congenital ability.
Woman, a being of equanimity
Your comforting arms a remedy
Your fearless courage a constancy
Persistence and consistence a stability.

Kakra Sarfo-Amponsh Poem
When we stare at the mirror
Is it the reflection of our reality?
Or is it the curtains of their design?
Is it the similarity in our diversity?
Or is it the diversity in our similarities?
Is this the life we choose to live?
Or is this the life we were taught to live?
Are we influencing society?
Or are we influenced by society?
Do we shape our destiny?
Or is our destiny shaped for us?
These are the questions of an innocent child
To peek through the lenses and understand the reality of life.
