President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
Nana, does it have to be spelt out In bold font, on the forehead? We, citizens of the land, know Just what that word is You should know it too Or, to excuse you? For being out of touch As are other subcontinental leaders What trait is that - narcissism, Yes - Queen's English, and glorified French? Amusing for a minute But now well past retiring Docteur Honoris Causa Just what is that ... for? Your people want to know Maybe you can tell us Need to be reminded Not in competition with anyone at home? Running past out hungry, growing teens Held and boarded up in places To that shiny medal dangled Our colonizers, their streak not lost Six days of work, plunder and loot under our noses Yes, it's Ukraine ... it’s Covid You must have heard That tired yet familiar refrain Our leaders - their priorities And how they continue to fail us Bet Congrats are in order For Ghana is first! We eagerly await your triumphant return We have done well
