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.
