Nana Frema Busia: Ode to Prof Frimpong Boateng

Nana Frema Busia: Ode to Prof Frimpong Boateng
02.05.2023 LISTEN

Regardless when it is uttered Truth Stands
It waves boisterous like a Holy Wand
Causing some to curse, run riot and Rant
Be Resilient just as you were in the Ward
Peace shall be your Reward

Attackers Abound
The Professor 
To Hound
Has he not truthfully Professed!
Will they dutifully Confess?
They are full of Con 
They will surely Confuse
After they have set a Fuse
And aided degradation of our EnvIRONment ..

How can hoodlum "elephants" act like IRON
To devour like LIONS
With fury in the power ENVIRON

Objective Critique
Means you are Bitter?
To point out governmental Litter?
Inspite of galamsey-gold making Richer
See how they cannot in governance Glitter
Neither are they good as Antiques
They are just full of Antics

They ignore Reports Sent
They will not at all Bend
Neither will they allow our varied tribes to Blend 
Or the nation Mend!
And
what cannot Bend
Often Reeks of falsehood and havoc Wreak
But 
Ultimately Breaks

Take Heart 
Surgeon of Hearts, who won our Heart over, in your life's worthy Sojourn

Can they the Nation delude?
With "missing"  Escavators & cover of darkness as the Tool?
Even as forests are defaced, crops stunted & waters openly muddied in existential risk, with traceable fingerprints of galamsey  Loot?

We shall not your Credentials Dilute
Indeed, Due you is our deserving Salute
 For the eye- opening  galamsey Reportage 
with Courage
Inspite of myriad threats 
and Alarming Rage 
Be Prayerful and Resolute
May God be with You

PS: Oh Ghana, land of hypocrisy and Ineptitude
Where is your Motto: "Freedom and justice", Aptitude?

Freedom? Please Show it to me. We are free to be corrupt without Sanctions 
So long as we have power Connections

We set up Institutions in Disguise 
And thwart functionality by tweaking behind the scenes to obey governmental dictates and cause Disgust

Woe unto any independent thinker with morals who rebel in favour of what is Right!
Should tribal and party dependency defy Nationhood with Might?

Justice?  Please where is it?  Is it in our Courts, Police stations, Governmental offices, Chief's Palaces, Priestly Enclaves, Investigative or Security Agencies, Parliament or the Presidency? It is no where to be Found
As Ghana continues to Confound

 Nothing seems right, anywhere in Ghana as I write.  
That is why 
We are on such shaky precipice approaching Ignition.
 Craving Sincere Leadership with Cognition   
 Yet ........

Shall bereft Power moguls continue to have a field day?
