I 'THOUGHTED'

Get over
Yours is not
Your talk of a getaway
An allure!

Brother please!
All you have to offer is not enough

I understand the appeal
The thrill of the hunt
With prey which announces its presence
Loud, independent, exuding strength
Oh, wouldn't you love to be the tamer of that
Be Caesar

I know 
You want to be
The one that
That makes me  vulnerable to the point of need
Need of nothing but you
Filled with want of you
Ravished by you
Powerless
Victim, lost

I want not
I need you not
Fill me not

Boy, you ain't encountered
My kind before

Money is shit
Yeah that's right
Your money is shit
Half-masked offers
Delusions of grandeur 
Adolescent attempts at flirting
Oh-so-obvious words of flattery

Get over boy!
We ain't in Circa 1500

A Post

So this should have been the post that ended the year 2013, however laziness got the better of me. If you know me then you know i do not make resolutions for the new year and if you do not, well, now you know.

This does not feel like a new year to me. It is just another day that have a date that reads 1st January 2014, however since this is a new year, new beginnings and all that i end this post with this; if you are a Christian, this year will be full of things that will shaken the foundations of your faith yet full of peace of heart (peace in your heart), strive to be a practical Christian because it is through your actions and deeds that people will see the light that is so dim in this world, be more open about your faith despite attempts to subsume your beliefs in what is called fairness and equality. This year, i feel, is a testing, a continuum of what is already happening. Pray harder than you have before (I need to take my own advice, i have been slacking in the prayer department). Try hard not to be consumed by activities that you find yourself involved in in your church; the Lord knows your help is needed there but your salvation also needs to be worked at with fear and trembling.


If you are not a Christian, maybe it is about time you start searching why you should be. Things are coming full circle and i am almost done with my MSc. courses (submit final assignments in February 2014) then my thesis. My year seems to be half filled; I have a wedding to coordinate/organise (a friends's).

Perpetual Frown

http://chatsworthconsulting.com

'Child, get that frown off your face'
'Smile'
'Will you stop that incessant howling!'
Mama told me
Or grow
With a perpetual frown on your face
Your ringed neck straight

Mama, i am grown now
I have my ringed neck
Frown converted to serious face
Occasional scowl
In-between i laughed in abundance
Napped a boy or two
Turned heads
Broke hearts

I make you proud

Walking Away

I am trying not to think

Think about the fact that I want to cry

Cry with no reason

I want to talk to you

Do not walk away 

Doesn't really matter

I will still talk when you walk away

Tell you what

I sometimes get melancholic

Then I am all sad for sadness' seek

Sometimes it gets lonely

Hiding in bed

With my thoughts for company

I get bored too

Of everything

You walked away

Never got to hear that part

The part I say

I am never bored with you

I love you

And pray for you

Always

NOT OF ME

not to be

not of the ache of hollowness

bracing myself for impact

i serenade with my soul

strains of which are borne by the wind

not of me

the mindless pursuits of none ends

though it would be much easier

not for me

to linger on as time passes

it changes

You do not

not of me to regret

and forget and ask

forgive, forgive, forgive

forget me not

Dearest One

Abide with me

Ghana Woman!

So two days after the International Women's Day (IWD), which I agree with my friends that it should be Global Women's Day or simply Women's Day, I write this post.
I just researched how the fight for women's rights started (read this which paraphrases what happened in America) I couldn't get any material on how equal rights for women in Ghana started, but over the period of time from what I have noticed governments in Ghana over the years have strived to be seen as working for the rights of women but through all this I wonder who is a Ghanaian Woman? When did our struggle for gender rights start? What have we done? Is the message of gender equality being driven by only literate women? What about the illiterate woman? Where are we now?

I don't know about you but I feel Ghanaian women have played dual roles in society. As a queenmother, she is the embodiment of a king yet she must decide who is king. As a mother, nurturing. So we might choose to dwell on the positives and ignore the negatives. The official theme for this year's IWD is "The Gender Agenda: Gaining Momentum"  and that for the United Nations is  "A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women". With these themes all over the place, I will bring us back to the question we should have asked as women in Ghana a long time ago "Who is a Ghanaian Woman?"
