A New Chapter (By: Poet Dela)

Being flipping through the pages
Trying to know what's old and new
New stories making the headlines
Old stories buried in the archives

Day in Day out
Creativity and innovation are being conceived
Hard work and zeal gets paid
Indeed goals and plans are made
But, realization becomes the headache.

Invest in your hard work
Be passion driven
Grind for the legal paper
And invest in your labour

The journey begins with a single step
Along the line
New characters are witnessed
New friends are made
Rivalry sets in
Pride, the Villain of the day
And new friendship bonded

Don't just make a change.
Impact the change!

                                     Love.
                             Poetic Yesu.

Aseda (Written by: Poet Dela)

The 25th of december,2017 was a day to remember
LoloNyo was
Much anticipated
and that was the main agenda
The best Christmas gift ever was from the Poetic Yesu
The compilation was for all my loyal readers especially you

Magic was made through the power of the hand
Pengame and Sallycious Ohema would make you understand
The words and wisdom scribed with the ink
Would make you put on your thinking caps on

The warm reception in woe z)
Made she is my type and bitter truth Pierce your heart with a sword
Then Lolonyo indeed made us feel love
Whiles Gankui made you see the real definition of Love
But at the end of the day
Belike now here Cool made Lolonyo slay

Bigups to Reuben and Maame Agyeiwaa for the collaboration

To my proof readers I say Ayekoo
Mark made me put on my thinking cap
My gorgeous Angela made every line look dope
Jennifer and Priscilla, I say Mo! to your corrections.

To every soul that endorsed Lolonyo
Akpe na mia wo kataa
To the bold and brave phyll
To the wordsmith Koo Kumi
To my ever glowing Sallycious Ohema
To the hommie Sosu
To my queen Brenda
To Gino my brother from another mother
To Kwasi Nimo Jnr a guy I really admire
To Jennifer my brilliant and industrious lady
And to Samuel Ziga, I say Akpe Kataa..

To my team, Afua and Bendre
Let's make 2018 a memorable one
And to all my loyal readers, God richly bless you
and watch out for The Life Of Dela.

Not forgetting  all the souls that purchase the T-shirts
May God replenish every penny invested bountifully!

Love.
Poetic Yesu.

Gankui (by: Poet Dela)

My sight knows beauty no more
My eyes the architect of my misfortunes
My shades becomes part of my fortunes
I'm blinded by the rays of love

For a second
I thought I was lost
In a new world full of new laws
A world infested with lots  of beauty
I always gaze and zoom at their booty

Wait a minute...
I got betrayed by my extravagant glasses
Now all I view and see are lies
One of my senses gets tainted

Maybe I chose an oversized eyewear
A habitat belonging to germs
Now writings about love becomes distorted
And love at first sight becomes a mirage.

THE REAL HER

An era of beauty
Slowly perishes
A generation of
Indecent femines
Slowly emerges

Future mothers become
Future burdens
The pride of an African lady
Becomes obselete

Beauty without brains become rampant
Selfies, Likes and followers becomes relevant
Ohema facebooks instead of facing her books

She exposes her body on Instagram
Instead of exposing her intelligence
Snap chatting turns into a habit
She slowly becomes a phone addict

Parties, shows and concerts
becomes her interest
Cooking, praying and fellowships turns into her stress
She doubts her beauty
Just because her Instagram likes are just a few

Makeup and looks turns into a priority
Prayer and her books become her minority
After breakups
A soft heart becomes stone
An innocent soul becomes evil
And revenge turns into an aim

After the lust for material things
Dignity is lost
Self-esteem falls at it's lowest peak
And
Disgrace a companion

Ohema's new appearance
Amazes me
I guess
The real her has been traded
For something else.

THE NATURE OF THE BLIND (by: Tetteh Sackey X Poet Dela)

I woke up,
On an unknown time,
The world looked darkened to me,
I thought it was still late in the night,
I tried to get a little light to make me happy,

Rather,
Darkness smiled at me,
I was narked when it smiled to me,
Because I was the mzee around,
Hardily did I notice?
Blindness has hugged me,
Therefore I cried for help,

Because,
My new world was more darkened than my natural world,
My natural world was nebulous,
But now,
It is beyond that,
Oh people! Oh friends! Oh family!
I’m I now a stranger to my society?
I’m I now a rejected of my friends?

My sight becomes visionless
Destinations become mirages
Deprived to view
What nature offers
My senses loses a brother

I’m I not like you?
Why do we get such treatments?
Warders and wardresses are being assigned to confine us,
As if, we are prisoners,
You who think you are a world-beater,
Hear us! We form part of the world,
The world is incomplete without our presence,

We are given war-farin,
Not in the intention of treating thrombosis,
But,
We are likened to rats,
Arise oh strong, arise oh weak, arise oh humans,
For our living does not depend on you,

But,
A Mighty Hand,
We may be friends to darkness,
But are friends to a great light,
We may be blind but our senses work,
We may be sad but rivers of love flows within us,
We may be blind but are saved from the sins of the eyes,
Smile oh companions, smile oh friends,
We are always at the fore,
But,
Nobody notices us.

PEN GAME (by Poet Dela)

Out of a mess

Came a message

Out of my pen

Came an adage

An ink can either

create or destroy

It either scribes or floats

Reputations are slaves

to that ink

Out of a match comes

a scoreline

Out of my struggle comes a result

Success and failure

Casted in one dice

Words and expressions soaked

in an ink

At the sight of a pen

White papers get stained

My dark thoughts become inerasable

Knowledge and wisdom get scribed

Minds shiver at the sight of my tactics

If a pen can sketch a game

Then a game can as well mimic

a pen

If my pen scribes an average of

4500 words

Then my bag should be the second

national library.

but well

Doubters and naysayers

failed to admit that

I'M INDOMITABLE!

SALLYCIOUS OHEMA

The sight of her
Makes me believe
Black is beautiful ampa
Grandma always used to say
The beautiful ones are not yet born
But I get tempted to call her a liar
Anytime I see her

If beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
Then I should be intoxicated by her beauty
Just because I'm a beerholder
Blessed with an amazing smile and well endowed
I stay glued to my window anytime I perceive her sweet perfume from afar

Her smiles keeps me motivated
Fingers crossed
Hoping she could be
Be My Woman one-day
The sound of her voice
Reminds me of Madonna
The sight of her lips makes me lick mine
Feeling how soft and sweet they are becomes a craving

Seeing her body sets mine on fire
The only remedy is getting close to hers
Hmmmm
What a feeling it would be
I get on my knees every evening
Praying she is Booless
So Sally could be my Ohema
My Sallycious Ohema I mean!

Love.

FAITH (Asore Ba) by Poet Dela

FAITH (ASORE BA)

Religion
Pride of a believer
Opium of the masses
Way of life

Purity reigns in the heart of a believer
Faith becomes the foundation of spiritual growth
With faith, mountains can be moved
Obstacles can be avoided

Bonds can be broken
And the impossible can realized
What baffles me is
Does being a believer mean you have faith?

Then who then is a believer?
A regular church goer?
Or
One who actively part takes in activities in
The Lord’s vineyard

Or
The individual who is a doer of the word?

Our society still has evil
Regardless of our believes
The Asore ba is well known
For donations to church projects

Participating massively in harvests
And even getting up to give offertory
From the first to the last
But in our society

The poor still remain poorer
The handicapped still remain in trouble
And the oppressed remain oppressed
Does the Asore ba take delight in seeing this?

What does the faith of the Asore ba teach?
What is the Asore ba also lacking?
Is the Asore ba lacking?
Teachings about giving widely?

Or
Morals?
Or he or she takes delight in seeing society poor.
For the seek of our faith and religion

Let giving be a habit
Humanity become a priority
Togetherness become an aim
And act according to the Lord’s word!

Negativity (by Poet Dela)

Success 

Aim of a hustler 

Reward of dedication 

Merit of patience 

Just as flies revolve 

Around faeces 

Success also draws 

So many faces 

Accompanied by the 

Most powerful Monopoly 

Fake and weird smiles 

Come around to jolly 

They sip with a 

Bitter tongue 

Intoxicated by 

Finest Chunes 

Their bad conscience gets interactive 

Hate changes the taste of the wine 

Envy draws comparison 

Negativity is given birth to

HOGBETSOTSO ( Written by Poet Dela (Kasafraka) in honour of the history of the festival Hogbetsotso)

Togbe

Pride of the Anlo's

Custodian of a unique culture

Cherished by all

His wisdom emulated by all

The crown he wears, cherished by odds

His judgement respected and obeyed

His ways considered sacred

Tyrannical rule gave birth to betrayal

Dirty water was pured on the wall instead of the yard

Escaping became a motive

And subjects became scarce

Footsteps of ghosts became visible

Notsie was filled with silence

Anger became Agorkoli's companion

Freedom, the reward of the Anlo's

Unity of the Anlo's brought togetherness

Togetherness led to festivities

Festivities became remarkable with a dance

The dance mearnt for the hands.

RED FLAGS

At the sound of the gunshot

Athletes get on their tracks

Aiming to finish on time

And be victorious

In life, the gunshot

Signifies growth

Tracks mean a tough beginning

And the finish line signifies success or failure

A quicker start doesn’t assure success

Remember, the last to finish

Could achieve a desired ending

It’s never too late

The hustle gets tougher

When success knocks on the door

It has always been so

But don’t be discouraged

Just turn on the radio

Listen to some good melodies

Music is food for the soul

Boost your confidence

Put in your best

Don’t forget you are in a contest

Play to win

Never settle for less

The sight of the flag

Shows how much time you have left

Do your best

Never follow the rest

Conformity is suicidal

It can kill your dreams

Strive for change

Being ignorant is never an excuse

Shape your future

Work and push harder

Pray without ceasing

Learn more

Don’t wait for help

Initiate the move yourself

Follow your dreams

And God will see you through

Just Believe!

Blessed Be The Boys In Blueshirt

Pride of the catholic mission

Home to the clergy

A solid foundation for great people

Greatest male institution ever

Attainment of gold is a hobby

Achievement becomes a way of life

Success a goal

And togetherness a priority

Just as the blue sky 

Remains a mystery

The magic in the blueshirt 

Remains unknown

Masters’ in quizzes

Legends in sports

Uniform in dressing

And unique interms of strength

A brotherhood of peace

Blessed with excellent tutors

With a dedicated staff

Envied by all

Despite its distance

The stressful journey becomes an excursion

It geographical location remains unprecedented

Surrounded by so many human institutions

With discipline as a hallmark

And moral uprightness well emulated

The patron Saint keeps all Toms safe

Both old and young

The boys in the blueshirt 

Will always remain united

And blessed

Hail Saint Thomas Aquinas!!!

THE FAMILY KNIGHT

The root of a giant tree

Branches depend on

A rock to stand on

The king of the jungle

The lion roars

At the sight of danger

The shield of the knight protects its people

Thickness of its roots builds a strong foundation

Not only for its branches,

But its leaves as well

The knight fights not for his life

But for the lives he shields

The battle field becomes his home

Wounds become a source of motivation

The sword his aid

Success and defeat his merits

At sunrise

He hears the daily mass

He prays for his own

The Quintain and Pell become a source of strength

Issues of warfare become his headache

He lives according to the chivalry rules

Time is spent on mastering the dance

The dance to the tune of death

His skills in horsemanship eases

The stressful journey

Hunting and hawking become a responsibility

Jugglers, acrobats, and jesters become his muse

At dusk

A toast to the family knight is made

A great feast is held

Prayers are said for him

In life

He is worth celebrating

And in death

He is remembered and emulated.

Cheers!!

TIME

Time is a Treasure

Time is not Inheritable

Time waits for no Man

Time isn’t static, it Evolves

Good use of time merits success

Efficient use of time merits achievements

Time loss means loss of money

And time gained means lots of money

Time is a phenomenon

Watches and clocks project this phenomenon

Inefficient use of this phenomenon

Leads to not only loss of cash

But lives as well

Funny enough, Time isn’t bought

But watches and clocks are

No one can control time

Yet still clocks are rested

Watches and clocks get damaged

But time never stops

The Blackman’s time differs

From that of a Whiteman’s

Even a fellow blacks time

Wouldn’t match another’s time

Same applies to

The light skinned man

What baffles me is

We all own and have both clocks and watches

From the Rolex’s to the Quartz’s

But still allow time to beat us

Time elapses in our businesses

In our examinations

In our churches and

Even in our homes

Its time

We stick to the principle

‘’Time Waits For No Man’’

SACRIFICE

For 273 days

she carried a heavy load

Enduring all the pain and mood swings alone

the unbearable pain during childbirth

Harbouring the fear of loosing not only her life

but of the amazing gift in her womb

The cutting of the cord that links mother and child

Special cases would require opening of the womb

A mother sleeps only when her offspring knows rest

A mother without a spouse goes to bed with the thought of

how to provide tomorrows porridge

The harsh economy could make her sell what she values alot

The worst could make her plead for alms

A fortunate mother with her spouse

would provide the best basic necessities

A balance meal at night must be assured by ”Dela Maame”

With no help and support from relations

she goes through motherhood with stress

When the school fees, rent and utility bills arrive

the burden of survival lays on her shoulders alone

She sacrifices all she has to see Dela through

the demanding school system

Under the burning sun she remained

Hoping tomato buyers approach her table

Proceeds from her toils gets swallowed

by the stressful school system

Tears run down her cheeks

anytime her offspring is sent home from school

The fear of a misleading future for her offspring is harboured

But determination becomes her friend

and prayer for success for her offspring becomes an anthem

Her tears, toils and sacrifices finally pays off

Mama’s dreams of training her offspring in the faith

and the right way is attained!

This is realized when success knocks on her door

AYEKOOOO to all mothers!

God richly bless you!

MUSIC (Food For The Soul)

Music is blood that runs through the veins of a lyricist

Music is that sound that doesn’t live in the heart of a racist

Melodies that puts the soul at rest is music

These melodies brings joy which the soul cannot resist

A human who makes good use of wordplay full of good melodies is called a rapper

Don’t mistake this for someone who produces and aims for legal paper

A good voice which echoes powerful melodies is termed as a vocalist

An interview with such an amazing talent would require a stylist

Rap, RnB, Reggae & Country music’s are all termed as genres

You can enjoy any of such sweet genres even under the hot sun rays

Music is food for the soul

So feed it before it goes sour!

HAND DEY GO, HAND DEY COME (RECIPROCITY)

Life is full of the give and take theory

Disappointments always comes with

the word "sorry"

Businesses aim for profit

Loses can either make you learn

or forfeit

Your back gets scratched

and you scratch back

A typical example of reciprocity

happens in the bank

They always say, what you sow

is what you reap

Bad investments end up making

you weep

Use what you have to get

what you want

Becareful not to lose your dignity,

Just make every venture worth

Here on earth, favours are returned

Passion would make you want to

Intern

Parent's investments need results

Failing Mum and dad would call

for insults

Giving brings a lot of benefits

Stinginess can lead to your death!

JUSTICE FOR MAHAMA

An innocent soul has being hurt

The life of a great warrior sorrowfully ends

Wasted is the life of a brave heart

For selfish reasons he died unlawfully

He was a victim of their evil intentions

Their unlawfully motives led to the death of a father

Not to talk about the pain

his beloved wife is about to go through

She has being tasked with a difficult task

Where is daddy?

Where is our father?

These are questions she would have to answer

Tears now become her companion

Memories become her nightmares

Up bring of her offspring becomes her burden

And loneliness comes to stay permanently

Justice must prevail

Culprits must be jailed

And family my must be consoled

Compensation wouldn't be enough

But justice would certainly bring some ease

Hope our leaders have not turned a deaf ear

to such a tragedy

Here is the time to make their presence felt

MAXWELL ADAM MAHAMA's soul deserves Justice now!

Rest In Peace our dear brother.
