Once Again!

Darkness covers the sky like a blanket.

Birds retire to their nest

Except the evil ones that are restless

During these nights;

Everyone is expected to be indoors

Mothers wait anxiously to lock their doors

Whiles fathers smoke their last pipe



“Nsuo Kwamina”

Would soon scare us with a roar

At the gnashing of its teeth, everyone runs for cover.

What annoys me, are the pictures it would take

Not forgetting the havoc, before daybreaks

Roofs would be gone, with people missing



Oh! Nsuo Kwamina,

Don’t you have any remorse?

If you don’t care for the old

What about the young?

We only prayed for your rain

...But now, you leave us with no home.



Oh! “Nsuo Kwamina” Are you are curse or a blessing?
