TWENTY TWENTY (Poetry by: Poetic Dela)

DEDICATED TO EACH AND EVERYONE WHO CHANCES ON THIS PIECE. ✊🏾

 

Just few hours to the start of a New Year, 

At 10:00pm, 

the church witnessed a great-feast.

Gratitude for “Nyame’s” endless 

and unlimited grace.

Prayer points focused on a better year.

 

At midnight, fireworks took over the skies.

Screams from the 

Presbyterian Church could be 

heard miles away. 

The congregation danced 

their hearts out to music from the 

Winneba Youth Choir.

Mobile phones buzzed with 

goodwill messages. 

As usual, 

January displayed its obtuse character.

February brought lots of love into the air.

 Patriotism was given birth to by March.

"Yɛn Ara Asase Ni" was on the lips of 

most Ghanaians.

 

Then suddenly, 

a huge storm hit our planet, 

Fear engulfs the heart of the Ghanaian.

Alcohol based hand 

sanitizers and nose masks 

becomes mandatory.

Restrictions on movements 

was the only way out.

 

Death and it’s entourage paid

 visits to the homes of 

our loved and mighty ones.

Fear, preventive tips and 

protests became the new normal.

But the light of a brighter 

day is what we yearn for!

Hope . Yesu.
