Hustle as Ghana

-
Integration begat disintegration
then feed of tribes
brought Democracy
all for hustle

Military adventure
a thing of the past
No! It is done undercover
by the true WOLVES in SHEEP'S CLOTHING
all for hustle

Then there was Gold Coast
Kwame Nkrumah
and the others
Then the true HUSTLE
BEGAN

Politicians emerged
Political parties emerged
Youths were empowered

The Fourth Republic
emerged, blew out
and gave birth to 24
registered parties
but  they are all Ghanaians

Remember! !!

It is all for hustle
but when you hustle
hustle for Ghana

The PNC,  APC, NDC, NPP,  CPP, PPP
The entire group
they know
but in all your hustle
hustle for Ghana!

Praises are poured
on Ghana for our
Peaceful atmosphere
Do we wait on fleshy
desires to scramble
crush even break

No! but
Dekaworwor, Nkabom, Unité, Eikomé feii m)
hustle for Ghana !

Yes!  This is Heritage
This is advantage
Not bondage
not rage

This is tranquillity
This is mild, humble
but Strong

Adjectives keep describing but the citizens, Ghanaians
we make  the description a reality

we must hustle for Ghana
Nous sommes les gens responsable !

Ghana hy3 y3n nsam !!
Ghana élé Mia si
Ghana many3 w) dé

Samia Nkrumah
Paa Kwesi Nduom
Nana Akuffo Addo
John Dramani Mahama
the host of them all
Yes! they hustle
but I tell you in all your hustle
hustle for Ghana

Kasaaa Kasaaa oo!
Red is blood, dynamic
our forefathers

Yellow is wealth
Black, the true sentiments of Ghanaians man
Green is nature
Stars  always Shine
Let's be Ghana and Shine

Mutani Ghana Kubari Muyi Guda
Ghana duko mina Mia w) deka
Ghana maan moma yen y3  baako! ! !

JEWEL, a poem based on Wole Soyinka’s «The Lion And The Jewel »

It’s time to start the revolution! The decision to decide lay with me Yet I wasted so much time What was I thinking? Laugh to scorn You bloody excuse of a man A dream With a mean A mission A misplaced vision The trauma of losing Gasping for freedom Without even pushing Indeed, I chose An option disgusted Unacceptable But it’s culture!

Reading the play caused me to think deeply about the choices that we make in life. At a point, I was very angry with the
