POEM

INNOCENT CHILDREN IN A GUILTY WORLD
Judgment has been executed
Akonoba has been sentenced to life
Voice is screaming
Tears are dropping
But lovers are cheering
Their smiles are beaming

You fear to die?
Sad to live,Akonoba triggers
For the land to live on
a land of curses

Brother Kofi Kuma was here yesterday
Today with peers on the street struggling to stay
The street being wet by their sweat
Their footprints blanket the road side
The porter"s tray their tool of work
Hunger and violence show mercy
by their frequent visit

Just yesterday
The man in the long black coat
Lifted Kofi Kuma up high in the sky
"Precious gift from God
Decorated with talent and capabilities
A possession to train and to teach..."
On and on he chants
the holy words mum and dad won"t deny
Only to realize where he is today

For the same price
I have been ushered to pay
For whose guilt have we been victimized?
