"Nsuo Kwamina", A curse or a blessing?

Once Again!

Darkness covers the sky like a blanket.


Birds retire to their nest


Except the evil ones that are restless


During these nights;


Everyone is expected to be indoors


Mothers wait anxiously to lock their doors

Whiles fathers smoke their last pipe





“Nsuo Kwamina”


Would soon scare us with a roar


At the gnashing of its teeth, everyone runs for cover.


What annoys me, are the pictures it would take

Not forgetting the havoc, before daybreaks


Roofs would be gone, with people missing





Oh! Nsuo Kwamina,


Don’t you have any remorse?


If you don’t care for the old

What about the young?


We only prayed for your rain


...But now, you leave us with no home.





Oh! “Nsuo Kwamina” Are you are curse or a blessing?
