“The success of President John Evans Atta Mills' government would
depend on candid assessment”
(JJ Rawlings, Quoted from Ghanaweb Nov 2, 2009).
“Former President Jerry John Rawlings has launched a blistering attack
on the Mills led- National Democratic Congress (NDC) government,
describing his
ministers as illiterates who lack the requisite experience to
manage affairs
of the state” (JJ Rawlings, Quoted from Ghanaweb Nov 3, 2009).
JJ Rawlings has had numerous twisted mouths since 1979
When he imposed himself on Ghanaians
And became the hero of an ethnic group
Because he is their last ticket to the Slave Castle
JJ has dual-mouths
JJ has tripled-lips
Yet JJ craves for one Ghanaian one toilet
Though he releases more political dung than any Ghanaian
Crystal truth never emanates from either mouths or lips
Greased truths gush out of both watersheds of delusion
JJ said he was for TRANSPARENCY AND PROBITY
But his other mouth said JJ you are lying
Tell us how you paid for your kids’ education
Tell us how you bought your fleet of posh cars
Tell us how you built your houses
Tell us how you are able to globe-trot
Tell us about your expensive lifestyle
Tell us why you wept on national TV in June 1982
When you well knew that you killed the judges
When you well knew that your “tribesmen” had done it
Tell us how you financed the “broke” NDC in 2008/09 elections
JJ said he is against CORRUPTION AND GRAFT
That Nkrumah was corrupt and only got a flag for Ghana
That Busia was corrupt and did nothing for Ghana
That Acheampong was corrupt
That Akuffo was corrupt
That Limann was useless and came to derail the RE-DELUSION
But his other mouth said JJ you are liar
You are more corrupt than all Ghanaians
You never accounted for the 50-cedi notes you seized from the poor
You never accounted for the sale of Nkrumah’s corporations
Not even Nsawam cannery which you sold to your wife
You never accounted for the rags to riches of your followers
The coward partisan tribalists who are willing to die for you
Though they know that you are delusional
You never explained why you gave $20, 000 to a clueless woman
To plant rice in your paradoxically impoverished World Bank
You have said nothing about M & J, Scancem, CASHPRO
Before M & J that implicated your huge head-geared wife
You went all over the world blaming corrupt Ghanaians
Now your bogus anti-corruption campaign has deserted you
Tell us more about M & J for it was under your watch
Tell us about the friends who have been so good to you
Tell us about the friends who bought you cars
Tell us about the friends who paid your kids school fees
Tell us about the friends who paid for your mansions
Tell us about the mansion at Adjirigano with twenty-rooms
Four self-contained self-detached rooms for your four kids
Tell us about why you alone live in three large bungalows
Tell us why you killed people for having two toilets
But today you have 15 toilets in one compound-home
JJ said that he is for the ORDINARY POOR MASSES
But his other mouth and lips said JJ stop lying
At least enjoy your loot
As coward hypocritical Ghanaians look on
When you sip expensive imported wine
The common people drink gutterized water
You sleep without mosquitoes
But mosquitoes are friends with all Ghanaians
You eat imported beef, tuna, and all
The common people eat Nkrumah Circle chofi
You drive about in expensive Jaguars
The stupid masses cheer you on in Charlie wates
You have the best comfortable circumstances
Most Ghanaians you came to save live in poverty
Parents could not pay JSS/SSS fees
You sent your children to expensive schools overseas
You wear the best designer clothes
The masses wear infected oburoni wawu
JJ has called Mills’ ministers ILLITERATES
But his other mouth was very shocked
The other mouth stated categorically that
JJ you failed most of your class exams at Achimota
JJ you basketed nine 9s at the O-level
That you couldn’t pass the Air Force entry exams
It was J. W. Harley who paved the way for you
JJ you failed all your promotion exams
It was Colonel Yaw Boakye who “passed” you
Most of Mills” ministers had worked for you JJ
JJ you hate illiteracy but promote grand illiteracy
In 1982-83 you closed down Legon for 13 months
You introduced bogus JSS/SSS to produce illiterates
And whisked away your four children from JSS/SSS
They “literated” at the expensive Ghana International
Yes, Ghana International School where dollars counted
They “literated” in expensive British universities
JJ Rawlings now Ghanaians know you
They know that you are megalomaniac
You are the worst hypocrite
You are the worst know-all Janus-faced
Yet has not achieved anything in life
You are too power-drunk
You are exceedingly delusional
Even your avid supporters know that
Confused General Mosquito of NDC
Should publicly rebuke you JJ
Just as much he rebuked the fraudulent DR.
Yes, the fraudulent “Dr.” Koobi Spew-Garbage
For both your delusions of political grandeur
NDC leaders must call you JJ to order
Before you JJ wins 2012 elections for the NPP
Before you lose the last iota of respect
