Buried In Your Bones

Mr. Independent I don't know what to give you I don't know what to get you Mr. Independent You control time and space But you don't know how they function Mr. Independent You give love in essence But you don't know how to earn it   You thought me how to cave in To your needs and wanting I don't know what to get you That will lift my ego A giving that will weigh than feathers I see through you But I didn’t see who you were before you rose to Independence, independence, independ... Now, I see through you But I didn't see who you were before You formed ashes in the clouds My independent When I give you gold coins You swallow them And they return as gold leaves Mr. Independent When I clean your floors Your pour unto it debris When I distill your water You pour in earth I can't think what to get you     Mr. Independent you said Clothes are for those Who are naked and can be seen Tha

Silent wail

A smote into our hearts When our sons disregard our hunts Look they spake of a revolution Hearkenin to its civilization Harsh! You hear of their nuts And turned gay to their chants Yet its complexity never satisfied your anxiety Your memories are filled with darkness, Which can never lighten up your curiosity For we taught we have moulded your hearts We cried for your impetuous acceptance Their erronous culture never suited you but you undoubtedly followed Did we not clothe you? Did we not feed you? Did we not teach you? Your bodies now refuse to be clothed Your mouth now neglects her breast Your mind keeps on to be entangled with fear You look but never see Your *eyes* never heard our cries Why do you besought now? When you Don't even know where your leg stands. Nichole Jane Asare 09/09/17

A CLARION CALL

Image
The clarion call sounded A sound of heartbreak Why keep mute Why should sons of the land Devour the land And live a merciless land at hand Its lips tremble for water Its eye seek for a bosom. A shattered grain of hope The bemoans of the land. Did i tell you i was dumb? Cried out the son of the land. Dumb not are you but like two silly lambs do you follow ignorance Be perturbed be vigilant The land is ours to make Jane Nichole Asare 

KILLED IN A CRADLE

Image
The fortuneteller couldn't tell his fortune The priest couldn't baptize him He was killed in the cradle while he slept Abortion was a better fate But what he had was misfortunes He has no chance to suckle He had no chance wiggle He had no chance to cry at midnight He had no chance to crawl He had no chance to eat the dirt while he played He had no chance to smile at his parents He was killed in a cradle while he slept Executed by a unilateral jury He experienced no love He experienced no attention He had never had a lullaby sang to him He had no hugs nor kisses He was killed at birth How would the world know how mighty or small he could have been. He never made anyone proud . Perhaps he was a mistake, says the mother . He was just a fantasy . Nothing beyond a mere conception His father could not pat his little head Nor was he able to hold his little finger He couldn't show him his love He could never had been the father . He never had to scold hi

Please lie to me

_Like a drowning man I hopelessly clutch at your straw_ _An anchor so feeble against billows still I dare ask for more_ _Why deny my ears the compensation of that sweet sensation_ _Of that which feels so true yet so false in your declaration_ _Deceptive your words were but I clung to them_ _Even as you sung hyperbolic fabrications as an anthem_ _I felt so blessed by your seemingly cursed lies_ _And I pray you continue to blind with scales my very eyes_ _Sugar-coated, candied,sweetened and nectarous_ _Sipping from your desecrated cup neglecting its poisonous_ _The harsh reality my heart endeavours to bear_ _Just one lie from you to me will prove you care_ Rick Biggerman (18/08/17)

SIXTEEN SECONDS IN HEAVEN IS NOT WORTH MY LIFE

Image
Heaven has promised to be the ultimate place of joy based on the teachings of most religions. Who wouldn't want to be there?  People from all race are giving up a lot to experience heaven. It's clear people can do all manner of things for the ultimate joy. My dear Christians, forgive me for the confusion, i am not talking about ‘heavenly heaven’ but something I can characterize as earthly heaven. Orgasm can be fairly described as series of 8 to 16 regular high intensity muscle contraction occurring in an average of 16 seconds. No matter how long sex may last, the ultimate is this sixteen seconds episode.  Things people can do to achieve this pleasure is entirely another book on its own. People sometimes even try harder for this 'earthly heaven' than they strive to enter the 'heavenly heaven'. Having said this, I believe you now see what I see when I call orgasm heaven. One could never hate sex. Or let me say I can never hate sex, for at least I am here as

I LOVE YOU

Image
I love the spell you cast on me It is the best thing I ever felt Make me your prisoner and never set free Cliché,but you just make my heart melt So sweet ; you make me drool like mad I pray my infatuation has no cure Your breasts alone...oh my God Every trouble for it I will endure Tease me unend with the icing on your lips Resisting them makes the urge unbearable It's almost as if the swaying of your hips Makes the man in me quite insatiable When I watch your ass as you walk I feel like the luckiest man alive The beautiful dangling of your sexy bulk Creates a thirst I always want to relive The tingling you send down my loins A thousand aphrodisiacs can't compare Come lay and warm my groins Cos you and I make the perfect pair Poetry by: Rick Biggerman,

HEPATITIS TODAY; LET'S ELIMINATE IT

Image
A healthy mind they say resides in a healthy body. It is an undisputable fact that an individual can only be productive in life if he or she has a sound health from which sound minds are borne. As humans, we are exposed to so many diseases; talk of those that can be seen or cannot be seen. To an extent, some of these diseases pose more threat to the human life than others do. Some of such diseases you can think of include; Ebola, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Rabies,  Aspergillosis, Cryptococcal meningitis, Tetanus and others. I believe with each of the aforementioned diseases, you may want to hear more or know more even though you might have heard quite a little about them  ; but unfortunately and for the sake of the article title at hand, I will just take you through one very common disease amongst them which is putting humanity on lots of danger; and that I'm referring to 'HEPATITIS'. Hepatitis is one disease that comes in many forms and I'm even sure the types in which

Gods of the unknown

Image
I have lingered through the dark. Like a fearless stag, I walk. To a land I have heard of , To a mystery I am pertained. To an unknown source I strengthen. They tell me I am good for them . Good for their success. But in real life I am but an object Object of sacrifice to the god of the unknown. They use my parts for rituals . Saying I consist the perfect matter, I entangled with them in this dance of a worthless battle. I know I am right and they wrong . But they say they have a god , A god who redeems . Putting my beliefs to dormancy. They dominate my body . Crawling to my soul. There I die of worthlessness. I die of shame . There I die in bondage . I die in shame . Fear has clouded me because I have borne out my unknown before them. Now they use my pain , grief and secrets to haunt and taunt me . But I have seen shame and disgust , And they look alike . I have seen a light that gave me hope . I remembered where I fell

A friend with "weed" is a friend in need

Image
Without too much pharmacology or phytochemistry and words like Tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol,  cannabinol,  tetrahydrocannabivar, CB1 &2 receptors, I seek to simply get the message well absorbed. So in spite of my strong predisposition to use big scientific words I will try to use simple english as much as possible. For clarity sake. It will be unfair not acknowledge that this piece was purely inspired by the great piece by Prince Acquah Rockson under the Heading, "A friend with weed is a friend indeed." A recreational user takes marijuana for the effect it creates and the high or buzz they want to get from it. Continued use builds up tolerance and can lead users to consume stronger drugs to achieve the same high. Drug dealers, motivated by the profits they make, will say anything to get you to buy their drugs. some of the stories they tell includes but not limited to increase in academic performance and increase in manual productivity and the almighty medical mari

A friend with weed is a friend indeed

Image
A friend with weed is a friend indeed is now a prevalent proverb that was brought out of the old and wise saying, " A friend in need is a friend indeed." In recent times, the use of hard drugs has become very common especially among the youth. Among them, it has been realized that weed has the highest rate of consumption and this is due to the legal terms that has been associated with weed. In some parts of the world, for instance Nevada the domestic use of weed has been legalized and it was surprising to know the number of people who queued to get some rolls of weed. The question i ask myself is, " Does weed now do us more good than harm or it has been genetically modified to perform miracles?" The answers to these questions are subjective depending on opinions or testimonies that have and are being shared. I doubt physicians now recommend weed as a cure or treatment of an ailment yet people argue on its good medicinal effect and its ability to affect your emotio

Back To The Basics: Reviving Ghana's Agriculture.

Image
Attest with me to the fact that since the beginning of this world, agriculture has been the most practiced and sustained profession/occupation. In fact I can say that it is the most important revolution that has ever happened to man. Asking ourselves today, is agriculture really what it used to be back in those days? As for me I will say that agriculture back in those days was more  lucrative than I assume it is in our time. Here's why; back in those days most of you will bear me out that agriculture was practiced on family basis such that no matter who you are or how you carried yourself, you will till the ground when the time for farming was due. Though currently, the family farming system may or may not exist; but let's ask ourselves that 'how many are into it and even those in it, how lucrative is it for them?' With current advancement in the world, people 'misconceptionally' assume agriculture or farming occupation is meant to be practiced by the rural

What You're Is Who You're; Embrace Yourself!

It's of no doubt that what we accept about nature is what keeps us conscious. One undisputed fact is that 'no one can ever cheat nature.' So many people have forgotten that no matter how alike they may be with others, they're are made in a unique way. Nowadays, so many people doubt who they're due to certain life factors ( skin tone, body shape and size, walk of life, social class, among many others) but I ask this; must that be the case? I say a big no to with my reasons being these; as individuals from different parts of the world, we are who we are because of what we are, what we possess uniquely and what we accept and don't accept about ourselves. Let me use my own personal experience as an example; I was in a bus travelling to Kumasi, a city in Ghana when I had an encounter with this young woman. In fact she was fat but pretty. As we sat in the bus, I could see her flipping through her pictures on her smartphone. So I decided to poke a little and this

Time-Piece

We are all used to this quote" Time is money". Everybody seem to have heard about this in different occasions in their lives but the question is, how many have really thought through on this? We have made it so generic to the point where we can't even realise it has lost it's power to inform us with the message it really carries. Everybody knows this quote but no one is willing to make a meaning out of it. We have unconsciously restricted it to the rich in society and we only believe its power to change circumstances when its coming from wealthy personalities. How sad...? Think about time, "Time is money". Every human has the same measure of time for an hour,a day, a week,a year and so on but why then do others tend to be very fruitful with their time whiles others do not.? It about how effective your time is to you than how long it lasts. We have been made to believe time is money but no one has taken the burden to make us understand the greatest tre

Women; a beacon of hope.

Image
In Ghana,  women constitute over 50% of the population, yet out of the 275 members of parliament, only 29 of them are women. The marginal representation of female leaders is common in many organizations across the country. A country like ours cannot develop when over 50% of its population do not have  equitable number of representative of leadership positions in various sectors of the economy. Women are needed to be the voices to promulgate the plights and needs of women in their communities, to propose policies that favor women, and to contribute in the building of our economy. Gender inequality sprouts from a lot of factors and religion seems to be one of the major. Ghana; like most African countries, is a very religious country of which Islam and Christianity is the most common of the religious affiliations. These two religions clearly spell out the role of women; to be submissive, to be busy at home and to  follow her husband's leadership. This law is basically followed and

SUREST WAY OF DEALING WITH MASTURBATION

Image
Article Written by: Asante Krobea Elvis I found out in my research that society rarely talks about masturbation because of its associated stigma. About 75% of the world’s population watch pornography and/or masturbate; Pornographic sites are the most visited sites on the internet. What most people do not know is that managers of the internet have crawlers that monitor viewers of a particular website. Another baffling fact that got me discouraged to put a stop to this work was the fact that, masturbation has been supported by many medical experts and some renowned pastors. I proceeded to write this for a simple reason, that, my Bible speaks against it. Due to the fact that many people are engaging in this act but refuse to talk about it openly, I considered terming it the “ *dirty secret*” act. I found out that there are so many ways people engage in this dirty secret act. This article seeks to talk about its negative effects and surest ways of curbing it. Before we taste
