Ghana @60; Not Just in Temporal Terms (a spoken word poetry)

An upcoming writer, a poet and a spoken word artist known as Dzidefo being so much in love of Ghana have composed a spoken piece titled; Ghana @60, Not Just in Temporal Terms as a contribution towards this 60^th Anniversary. The poetry captured in brief how Ghana struggled and survived her post independent political turmoil and still stands as a proud state in the West African sub-region.   

While praying for the enlightenment of the people of Ghana as far as political independence is concerned, he also paid respect to The Big Six, the group credited with Ghana’s Independent struggle from colonial rule. The piece also urged the people of Ghana to take due advantage of their experiences as accumulated over the past 60 years and channel into something more productive.
Before the poem came to an end, the poet made the concept open where the following lines could be read…..
“We are not @60 just in temporal terms
We are @60 as peace loving people
We are @60 as economically productive people
We are @60 as well cultured people
And we are @60 as a Beacon of Hope for Africa”

Below is the complete lyric of the about 35 lines piece.
And this links to a video version on the web.

Ghana @60, Not Just in Temporal Terms

May the toil and death of our founding fathers
Become our illumination of how far we have come
And may what we see and hear across the waters
Show us the way and how far we must go 

God bless Ghana, since sixth March 1957
When Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of blessed memory
Faithfully declared this in his august right
"...Ghana is free forever... "
Hail the Big Six
And politically free we have since been.

There's no substitute for freedom
Not what my people in the Volta Region call 'Ablorde'
What the Ashanti man will call Fahudi3
Or that which my Ga brother calls Heyeli
Many will fight on for theirs until ekugbe
Just like heroes like the Ex-service men
In 1948
... ... ...
Gold Coast used to be the name, until freedom time
When Ghana became the name with ultimate prime
I say it was the opening of a grand chapter
The start of a journey worthwhile...

Like a vessel on unchartered waters of ages,
Ghana as a state survived political storms
And since our resilience is worth the accolade,
On stages, let's dance ourselves to the norms

Sixty years as an independent state
Surely mean a lot to the people upstate?
Yes for real, it should trickle downstate
So we can all feel the breeze of our attained fate

Let our past and present guide our course
As we strive to be one people with a common destiny
There is nothing worth learning from than experience
And three fifth of a century of such is well enough

We are not @60 just in temporal terms
We are @60 as peace loving people
We are @60 as economically productive people
We are @60 as well cultured people
And we are @60 as a Beacon of Hope for Africa

GO TO HELL (Joke)

I met Rex and Ray on my way from school to Accra from Cape Coast. In the bus, people, mainly university students were making fun probably because of the joy of a successful end of yet another semester.

Rex and Ray are popular and are known for their jovial connections with the rest of the students.  The two started some conversation that later turned to a fun-ful comedy.

Rex: So people, Ray is like he is gonna show me a lesson when we get to Kaneshie. Now, I want an eyewitness so that I can ask him a question.

Ray: Hahaha, let me be the witness....because I will probably be the only person there when we the lesson begins. Your question?

Rex: Ahh, how can that be? Is it done in your village? Do suspects double as witnesses in your area?

(The other passengers on-board started making small laughs)

Ray: Hmmm, I don't know what to say, but do you think things are done here the same way as in your village? Need I remind you that we 4 figures in miles away from your place and hence your ways? It's not done in my village, it's done in my co-nab not my village. What is your question?

Rex: Well, I guess you are right. I understand now. But I must confess, I never knew you were such a..........Such a......... a what I can't even describe. Look people, Ray is not from Ghana, I hope you guys no he is not too close. He is from Sogbaglikope, about 7500miles deep into the Volta woods. My question is.....do you mean to show me the lecture note from your 'private-part-shaving' class? Or you mean you will kill me?

(The laughter is increasing this time.....with more cheers....'Rexo, Rexo, Rexo.......)

Ray: You keep winning. We are closest to Kaneshie already and your lesson is even closer. So just wait and take your notes. And for your answer, I learnt you failed your pps course so, yes, I can borrow you my lecture note. I may also kill you as well.....but I won't fail to send you to hell on empty stomach.

The laughing is now directed onto the head of Rex...who started feeling heavier. He threw his punch in words back again to retain his winning position)

Rex: Thanks for the notes Ray. But I have referred that course for the academic program. Hahaha, so you said you are gonna kill me and not forget to send me to hell? How can you be mind-blind? So you still want me to be ahead of you, even in hell? Do you know what it means? It means I am going to be your master so that by the time you'd arrive, I'd attain senior-ship or even supervisor-ship and really drill you to nothing.....

(As if magic, the laughing was redirected and Rexo....Rexo......Rexo....was all I could here in the car.)



HOPE IT MAKES YOU SMILE AT LEAST.
