Memos From Heaven: FROM MY ROOF TOP
Memos From Heaven: FROM MY ROOF TOP: "FROM MY ROOF TOP From my roof top I see the world crumbles I saw people of mine shout, endlessly They shout for two common things They shout..."
FROM MY ROOF TOP
FROM MY ROOF TOP
From my roof top I see the world crumbles
I saw people of mine shout, endlessly
They shout for two common things
They shout for these two alone
Prosperity and democracy
They want an answer and their voices heard
But they were denied, all
An tears run down my cheek for them.
All these while two things are denied them
Just through the face masks of poli-sticks
So the country goes gaga
My country crumbles and crumbles fast
Faster than its expiry date comes
Two things are denied it as a cause
The suddenly, A man came panting
The power-man has come to shut us up.
He wears a coat too big yet very tight
To strangle our wriggling voices
'Go home, go home' I heard him shout
But he only rained saliva and a chewy gum
As I laugh, the riot explodes
Police, police, gendarme
Then blows and bloods
Bullets and batons.
Empty fists and stifled voices
There was a heightened battle to crumble a regime
So Mr. President answer me
Why poverty is now riding the economic horse
You alone jolly riding everywhere
For these decades you planted none, a seed
Your monarchy has divorced our democracy
Therefore go home, go home, too.
Yesterday your eyes were like those of an Angel
And you gaze upon us with mercy, passion, we all
Now your eyes beams of the Sun, Satan
Jesus! dear creator's messenger
Beg on our behalf, do it now
We plead your father, our grand, comes early to our rescue
To warn the world, of its bad nuts
Before it stands out against them.
We have started our calls, our shouts, our protests
From Tunisia to Egypt
Yemen to Syria
Brunei to Georgia
Here we come, to demand our pound of flesh
That, that has been taken from our toils
This day, not waiting, straight for it, now
From where they are, hidden.
The roof tops of powers
As I watch them from my roof top here.....
From my roof top I see the world crumbles
I saw people of mine shout, endlessly
They shout for two common things
They shout for these two alone
Prosperity and democracy
They want an answer and their voices heard
But they were denied, all
An tears run down my cheek for them.
All these while two things are denied them
Just through the face masks of poli-sticks
So the country goes gaga
My country crumbles and crumbles fast
Faster than its expiry date comes
Two things are denied it as a cause

Memos From Heaven: A JUMP FOR BLESSINGOnce you are near I want to be ...: "A JUMP FOR BLESSING Once you are near I want to be nearer to you, Blessed I wish not to go back to my roots, that far Evils I departed from ..."
A JUMP FOR BLESSING
Once you are near I want to be nearer to you, Blessed
I wish not to go back to my roots, that far
Evils I departed from and shall quest not
Love
Only when your mercies grant me
Not in bits but full to fulfill me
Enough to last me through the sojourns
To you my Lordship in Heaven above
Lay me a bed of roses to call my sleep
Where you promise ages ago from the beginning
Bless me now
As I jump to reach you, Blessed
Love
Once you are near I want to be nearer to you, Blessed
I wish not to go back to my roots, that far
Evils I departed from and shall quest not
Love
Only when your mercies grant me
Not in bits but full to fulfill me
Enough to last me through the sojourns
To you my Lordship in Heaven above
Lay me a bed of roses to call my sleep
Where you promise ages ago from the beginning
Bless me now
As I jump to reach you, Blessed
Love
Memos From Heaven: HARVESTS
Memos From Heaven: HARVESTS: "HARVESTS It is done not this hour but tomorrow When the new crops emerges from life but dead After the rains departs and the sun's laugh..."
Publish Post
HARVESTS
HARVESTS
When the new crops emerges from life but dead
After the rains departs and the sun's laughs starts
We shall remain withered and wuthering
Swinging and singing to the baby winds.
The tradition of the fruits and the peasant
This pilgrims passage before the year dies
Seen by whoever passes the ranch
As we wait for the Scythes
It is a harvest time.
Its time for the ripe crops journey home
A dirge with the going, to meet dear master of the field
Joy for him who tame the land yesterday, well
Nothing, what offered, reaped than a promise fulfilled
Harvests of wishes, to home of the Lord.

Memos From Heaven: ALAKPLE: "ALAKPLE From the borders of Ketu, here I stand I command you, my stranger Go far, far beyond the land of Keta Cross the lagoon, Nonobe, Awal..."
ALAKPLE
ALAKPLE
From the borders of Ketu, here I stand
I command you, my stranger
Go far, far beyond the land of Keta
Cross the lagoon, Nonobe, Awalifi and Ledzor
Beyond, there is an abode
A giant piece stuck among the lot of six villages
It's Alakple, the pacesetter
Taste my offer
All what you think, you heard, you wish
If not convinced, come tomorrow
I have a big place, a comfort on a straw mats: I promise
For all who wish to know me
Alakple, icons of forgotten heroes
Home of Nyigbla, home of Kotoka
I boast not but call thee mine
Nearer to my bossom, I call my children
Where I quest you crave, yakayake and tillapia chowder
One thing, marvels
Just a lot about me not known
That had clouded your mind as fallacies
"A village beyond the lagoon"
But....
Whatever, whenever to thee, I shall return
Mother, my land, Alakple
From ten years absence, please call me back.
From the borders of Ketu, here I stand

SONGS TO MY CHIEF KPORKU
SONGS TO MY CHIEF KPORKU
In this house of yours
The air brews of peace
That long, we longed to feel
That atmosphere of dreamed love
What a father gives us, babies
Open like ripen fruits of a great fan palm
To which ants throng in chains
To which bees throng in droves
And we humans hunts hungrily
Only for the comforts we cherish
From you great King of people.
The heart of our souls
The Soul of our hearts
To which our chords are anchored
Never snap to let loose of us
As this world is too open, too cruel, too blind
Ready not to favour orphans
Without a link to your dream for us, live
So in perpetual flow
Cover us, our shade
Protect me, my armour
Father them, the mentor.
To make our song complete
Been composed of you, Togbui Kporku
In this house of yours
The air brews of peace
That long, we longed to feel
That atmosphere of dreamed love
What a father gives us, babies
Open like ripen fruits of a great fan palm
To which ants throng in chains
To which bees throng in droves
And we humans hunts hungrily
Only for the comforts we cherish
From you great King of people.
The heart of our souls
The Soul of our hearts
To which our chords are anchored
Never snap to let loose of us
As this world is too open, too cruel, too blind
Ready not to favour orphans
Without a link to your dream for us, live
So in perpetual flow
Cover us, our shade
Protect me, my armour
Father them, the mentor.
To make our song complete
Been composed of you, Togbui Kporku
