a man drives down the street
the blinkers starts:
flick...flick...flick!
this man must know where he's heading
to the left for sure!
so the ride slows and then
to the right he goes instead
sure,
there's no turn to take to the left
so his mind must be at sea!

Dear John, an inspiration!
they made love in the rain
raindrops pattered off their bare skins
that blended with the brown of the wooden structure
that did not shelter them from the shower
and it wasn't as though they cared
it was just a sweet rain
a sweet rain that culminated
in a wave of tremor that shook their engaged bodies
from underneath the skin!
and then she gasped:
“make me a promise, tell me you will come back to me”
“I promise”
he gasped!
(so this was inspired by the movie Dear John)

blackstars-white-twinkle, it's the economy stupid!
pal dear of all dear,
it's full circle again in the land of my birth!
and i guess Nkrumah was joking when he declared that the given the chance the blackman was capable of managing his own affairs! what a joke!
Pal, it appears however that so far as the nation's Black Stars's team coach is concerned this is a mirage!!!
well not exactly!!! it so happens that all the major trophies won by the Black Stars (4 time African champions) have come by way of local Ghanaian coaches and those were the days when there wasn't much madness about money in football!!!
so what changed?
i can't tell pal. but suddenly it appears Nkrumah just made a big joke and the authorities in charge of appointing coaches for the team are doing everything to damn him for ever making that joke!!! They claim it's not about local or foreign coach but that we need a good coach! sounds really cool and by my personal inclination to stand in protest against any sectarianism that excludes others from having access to equal opportunities readily sways me!!! it really sounds cool that it should just be a good coach!!!
but wait! Pal, the African, especially south of the Sahara has not been treated fairly at all when it comes to economic empowerment!!! and i blame the African partly without blinking an eye!!! but after the African helping his European and American friends to rob him of his natural and human resources in the classic trans-atlantic slave trade etc, the African is still not learning!!! There's hardly an African country that can stand the economic might of the West or even East! and yet when Ghana is looking for a coach they look out in the direction of either this same West or East to pay tens of thousands of dollars for the services of a coach!!! damnit!!! that is where i say DAMNIT pal!!!
The African is now making it look like it's only the white man that would make the Black Stars twinkle!!! and more importantly the African is failing to see that it's the economy! stupid?
The African is not learning!!!

Kotoka and names!
i have a name pal!
okay so there's a lot of name changing of monuments going on in Ghana!!!
1. Accra Sports Stadium changed to Ohene-Djan and back to Accra Sports Stadium
2. Flagstaff House changed to Jubilee House and back to Flagstaff House
3. Sankara Overpass changed to Ako Adjei Overpass and it remains so changed!
4. Accra International Airport changed to Kotoka International Airport and there's a ground swell of passionate calls for it to be changed back to it's original name or to something else! Kotoka is a traitor is the cry! traitor! traitor! traitor!
not that i care much! indeed, i can't be bothered one bit as i have taken a strong hold of my personal sovereignty!!! i belong to me and not to any country with all the limitations of sheer confusion! but i continue to look inside from outside!
DON'T MIND THE BODY!
Pal, if i decide to form a political party i would call it Nazi-cum-Al Quaeda!!! scared? well i don't care! and i'd make this political party stand for all the right reasons that are opposed to the negativity that surrounds these names!!! content pal! content!
MUST NAMING MONUMENTS BE AN HONOUR TO ANYONE?
now i take another position to still look from the outside 'into' the inside! so what if Kotoka is maintained as Kotoka International Airport just to remind us all that there was a 'time' like Kotoka in the history of Ghana!!! and it need not be an honour to the man Kotoka! it should just be a name that represents a time-line and all can go to hell with their biases for or against Kotoka. should that be too difficult? wouldn't that be a compromise point even for all the biases?
so let Kotoka remain pal! and let it not be a national honour to the man Kotoka! and people should understand that they ought to rise above the pettiness of forms!!!
refrain: content pal! content!
