Agoo CEP Sefogah It is said that he who is destined for Power Does not need to put up a fight Yet I Have watched dogs eat bones from the ground Not because they prefer Bones to meat But because no one will readily offer them In life, it is survival first Even the colours of the chameleon are not just for beautification purposes only But for survival too And so when one complains of a missing goat But still smells the aroma of a goat soup from a neighbour's house One must grow suspicious Nyatefei wonye be amenutoe yorna efe akple kor be akple koe It is true that one can only identify and call a mussel of banku As his mussel of Banku Gake edze mekafua edokui o de? But a Salt does not praise itself? Now see what has become of us? We boasted of our Gold And now not even silver do we have to show off Yet ours was a land of many riches A land where Honey and milk flow freely in abundance From the hive and breast of Mother Nature Yet in the abundance of water Our dried throats can't even be quenched of their thirst A wise man once told me If you live very close to a riverbank You'll hear the crab when it coughs So I ask, are we that distant from our roots that We can't see the realities of our uncertainties? Hmm The Eagles may take to the sky as Kings But even they do perch on the ground too Eye menye drodro o nye o gake Avu ha ɖuna avutɔ Yes it may not seem ordinary but a dog also bites its master Yet no matter how drunk a mouse may be It never goes to sleep on a cat's bed? And can a master's tool ever dismantle the master's home? Nana Asaase will say, one can only be as true as his mother tongue So what do we call our own When we don't have nothing to show? Once upon a time, it was in the pots of togetherness That we brew and drunk the wine of unity Where side by side we stood by each other For our entire village was but a compound house Yes the culture of Africa, though the child may belong to one household It took an entire community in raising that child And although the cock may belong to one household When it crows, it is the entire community benefits Yes we are dynamic in all ways In the footsteps of our women lies the rhythm That beats in synchrony to the heart beat of men And from the tongues of our men Flows words laced with the sweetest of nectar That wets even the toughest and the wildest of the hearts of women Yes we are Africans and not savages Beings with our entire livelihood intricately woven together With the moral fibre that keeps us as one We are a race whose culture speaks life and beauty We are Africans Sons and daughters of the sun, forged out of its ever un-quenching and relentless sun rays And now more than ever is the time to project our own To defend and push our very own For The stick we have in our hand It is that with which we will strike the snake And now more than ever is the time to project our own To defend and push our very own For The stick we have in our hand It is that with which we will strike the snake And yes Fire devours the grass but not the roots So we may have been burnt but let us not loose track of roots For If a pregnant woman falls It is the child in the womb that answers And do not forget that He who refuses to drink from the well of knowledge Will surely die out of thirst in the desert of ignorance So what at all could have gone wrong? What is happening to us a people? We were born kings and queens, wild and free We were never born slaves We were never born less So nu ke dzor nenema gbegbe? Our people say Hadzidzi matso de akaye wo gba na Making music without a pause only damages the instrument Eyata nyemewunu o gake, matorde afiya Ebubu yie de mayidzi I have not ended but I'll stop here With the hope that I will continue another day Megborna
