Fellow Ghanaians
A petition to all Ghanaians
Can we go back to the times of old,
When calmness and stillness reigned,
But freedom and justice were maintained?
Can we go back to the values we once cherished?
Faithfulness and loyalty, we all professed since infancy,
But what do we do today?
What has happened to the servitude we all once professed?
The servitude which our posterity profess today?
Can we turn our heads back and pick up,
The highly priced gems we've lost?
As Nananom would say, 'Sankofa'.
Can we go back to upholding and defending,
The good name of Ghana as we once did?
Can we not let the toil of our forefathers be in vain?
For posterity depends on the decisions,
That you and I will make today,
Posterity depends on your choices,
So choose wisely!

Memory Lane
The glimpses of time past flash through my eyes, As I reminisce on the greatness of yesterday, It almost feels like it were today, The sizzling aroma of a once great personality, Grasping onto me like a dazzling prince, I do wish I could go back to that day, When things were all red and rosy, And I didn't have to question my very existence, But I can't go back, Reality stares me in the eyes and screams loudly, 'Hey you, wake up from your slumber! It's time to face life; to face me,' I have to wake up, I have to face this scary reality, And fight so hard to make a change, Posterity depends on my success, I cannot and will not fail, It's time to rise up; to wake up from my slumber and fight, I must fight until I win!
