Nana Frema Busia: Ode to Prof Frimpong Boateng

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?

Brilliant piece, Ohemaa Paaapabi Nana Afua Fremaa Busia. Your late Papa would be proud of you. When truth is stranger than fiction, the wise look beyond the obvious - for they know that in such circumstances, evil invariably hides truth in subterranean-depths, to escape scrutiny. Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng was an honest man, who had to be removed from office, to enable the big-thieves-in-high-places who now dominate our system, to mine gold in forest reserves with impunity.
