Mills’ Uses TEAM A at Last: NDC Irate Youth-Thugs at Work

*By Akadu Ntiriwa Mensema, Ph. D.

The embattled Chairman of the Confiscated Assets Committee, Mr. Carl Wilson, has finally been relieved of his position… Some irate youth locked out national officers at post, and denied them access to their offices, when they stormed the headquarters of the party at Kokomlemle, a suburb of Accra, to register their protest against Mr. Carl Wilson” (Ghanaweb March 26, 2010).

Fingered 2000 times

Pointed at 2000 times

Written about 2000 times

Castle- statements 2000 times

Defended by Segbefia 2000 times

Rawlings barked at thieves 2000 times

But Mills only listened to thuggish ultimatum

Mills you have lost it

Thugs, machomen, footsoldiers

The fringe, violent youths

Are now your advisors

Team A of thuggish advisors

Shielded by the NDC umbrella

Praised for wrongdoing

The fringe

Infringing upon civil liberties

Pillaging, pillorying, plaguing

JJ Rawlings the apostle

The apostle of peace

Accountability, probity

Transparency

Of know-it-all

Never calls the fringe

Youthful thugs to order

Mills is lost

NDC thugs are in power

Tamale, Yendi, Agona Swedru

Kumasi, Techiman

Mamobi, Kokomlemle

Seizing toilets

Killing people issuing UTITIMATU

Basking in NDC’s political stench

Atta Mills

NDC thugs

Have keys to the Castle

Wake up Mills

They have the keys

The NDC thugs

To the doors of your office

Wake up in the daytime

Take the day from the Segbefias

Who defend car thieves

Cars hidden in the Castle

Eh! A child of who born dogs

Poodle Mills you are leashed

Roped in by who born dogs

Unleash yourself from thugs

Oh! Mills are you still in the Castle

Mills is now in thuggish enslavement

Of who born dogs

Of NDC irate youth

Eh! Simpa Panyin in a slave castle

It is all coming apart oh Mills
