Last poem before midnight
But before that
Let me tell you a fact
That has lingered in my soul for long
Even though I know I will be hang
It is midnight but I hear no chime
Ask me how I got to know the time
I Am an owl born in Ghana
From our ancient name akana
I have seen tru-story past
Yes I know you won't believe but it is a must
I saw it all happen
When your forefathers where napping
They ask you to hold the bible
Took away your gold, time and you nibble
Made slaves out of your ancestors
Held your mind in captive like transistors
And gosh you are still holding it
As if your precious past never fit
You accepted something uncritically
And allowed it to enslave you consistently
Now am an owl and you will hear more of me
But trust me this is not a fib
I have seen generations
Held in captive with no salvation
I didn't blame them, but you I do
If you still want to hide under that hood
I have said my own
Even if am alone
I am here to stay
And my journey continues
