NOWHERE TO GO, NOWHERE
TO HIDE
O crazy world
of anarchy
With
confusion and brouhaha
Left, right
and center
Corruption
and immorality abound
In a world
which was originally meant to be a peaceful abode
Where do I
find solace within this troubled world?
Where and from
whom do I find peace?
Is it with
the security agencies
With their firearms
and armoured cars?
Who
themselves extort coins & chicken change from civilians
While
conniving with robbers at times to rob the same citizenry
They should
be protecting?
Should I go to
the Government
Who has been
entrusted with the responsibility of protecting my interest
Yet, pays
more attention & respect to party boys and foreign nationals?
Should I take
refuge in the pub
Where chilled
beer, whiskey & brandy with ice cubes abound?
Where I can
hide behind the Agya Appiah & Johnny Walker bottles
And forget
all my woes for a moment
Yet, wake up
from my intoxication to face a hyper-confusion?
Or should I
flee to the religious leaders?
Who have been
called to intermediate between mankind & his Maker
Yet have
chosen to intermediate between man & money
While others
are also busily intermediating
In the lingerie
of their gullible female followers?
I find myself
in a dilemma in my own home
Where do I
turn to?
Who do I run
to?
There is
nowhere to go
There is
nowhere to hide!
