Our democratization of national amnesia
We must worship armed robbers
Celebrate, thieves, murderers, fraudsters
Crown all criminals among us
Ghanaians are duty-bound to do so
Close down Nsawam & Ankaful Prisons
We are all embodiments of prisons
We love our thievery, “tribalistic” leaders
Dishonest, fraudulent, corrupt elitist leaders
Our chiefs, politicians, elders, and all
Anane was re-appointed & rewarded
He showed his sullen penis to the world
Kofi Awonoor the well-documented “tribalist”
Chairs $50, 000-car-loans-Council of State
Mills adores former prisoners as ministers
They showed they can steal & survive in prison
Blemished, stained, tarnished, flawed
Are the qualifications of our leaders
Thieves, murderers, fraudsters
Killers of our dreams
Champions of our misery, poverty
Cheerleaders of street kids
Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey
Overstayed, overjoyed, over-wrecked
Tax-payers’ bungalow
Silent on Stadium Disaster Fund
On the eve 2008 elections
Went to war with Ga youths
Took the spotlight
To use his position to buy government land
Barricaded himself with stolen wealth
Cocooned himself in dishonesty
Took captive of NPP campaign in Ga-land
A Ga who wanted to buy a house on Ga land
But didn’t know the truth
Ga people sell lands only to non-Gas
And the NPP see nothing wrong Jake
And Ghanaians love it
We worship dishonesty
Alhaji Moctar Bamba
Bumbling fraudulent buffoon
Fraud, corruption
Serious crimes in any presidential office
Fired by Kufuor
Now well-cooked by the NPP
And ready to be served to Ghanaians
Who feed on corruption
Who feed on fraudulence
Who feed on graft
Bastardized and who-born-dog fraternities
Who worship thievery wealth
Who worship shame
Who worship moral decrepitude
And the NPP see nothing wrong Bamba
And Ghanaians love it
We worship fraudsters
Our democracy of muddying pigs
Democracy of amnesia
The way of political pigs
Dirty, thievery political pigs
That love mud
That live in mud
That liven mud
That lever mud
Ghanaians are like pigs
We love muddied things
Wash, bath, and clean us
We would return to the muddied pit
We love to hate the crystal-clear
Pigs that thrive in mud
We adore dishonest elites
Muddying like pigs
Muddying thievery pigs
Pigs that swim in mud
Pigs whose dirt is all over us
Democracy of amnesia
We have lost our moral bearings
Lost our moral rectitude
Honor
Respect
Leadership
Truth
Have gone the way of pigs
Pigs in muddied pools
Ghanaians love thieves
Those who steal from us
Those who cheat us
Those who insult us
Those who fail us
Those are our chosen few
And our set-goal is misery
Our democratization of national amnesia
We must worship armed robbers
Celebrate, thieves, murderers, fraudsters
Crown all criminals among us
Ghanaians are duty-bound to do so
Close down Nsawam & Ankaful Prisons
We are all embodiments of prisons
