Yo vibro

Sonrisas como flores
vida como muerte
en el medio
yo vibro

Bonita, oh bandera linda
en el ritmo de viento baila.
Su oscuridad me quedo
fresco viva abajo.
Yo vibro

como pesos fueran del mar
como cabras en campo de verde
Dos continentes viven juntos
para realizar única causa yo trabajo
Yo vibro

A ti que te gusta cuidar el planeta
de donde está la bandera: verde, blanco y rojo
Y en el medio el águila come el serpiente
Contigo yo trabajo
Yo vibro
               
Vibro pero muero a tu lado
Muero porque para vivir
comemos y dormimos
Y qué … y nada mas
Ya no vivo
no te mates
la planeta para salvar
a tu lado

Yo vibro

Fight your fears

No more be a silent corn
thrown in a fowls compound
Nor run away, a frightened chicken
at the mercy of a hungry hawk
Fight your fears when they come
even the fastest hungry hawk
your grounds stand
Fight it even If you die
like an angry mother hen
at the sight of a predator

Watching the sea

Silent as the rock remains
at the edge of the sea looking onward
White foamy waves embrace
to drown in a rage boisterous
But silence, dumb founded
overshadowed by their invasion
Solid turned liquid but a moment
Rock and water losing impurities
Rock losing all the water but in puddles
Till they meet again in a clasp

Guess what?

Sunny the sky with flowers ready to bloom
smiling their white like wool
as they show sets of teeth
Guess what?
Before the clouds thick form and they wither
brewing burning hatred
hot red like scarlets on the faces
meandering their separate path full of thorns
beautiful were the hands which held her waist in the lock

Fount Of Love


If I must sip but once
and quench an inevitable thirst,
where will I go between two clear rivers?
In onward wonder a river will keep me;
deep reflections of regret, another.
While each step meanders,
thou fount of love
through me that will flow
do find me quickly
that perfect outlet slope.
For in weakness I bear this hold
so strong to let you show.

Who Has The Hammer

 
Eugene Edzorho (b. 1986), Untitled "Governor III" 2017,Rocks from Galamsey sites, Dimension variables





Explosion
                Break asunder
Chipping the pieces to collect

Washed to refine
To pollute the lot
In your bosom Oh nature

We ruin
We no more drink the ancient waters
The waters of our fathers

They stink
And our catch on the surface motionless lay  
 Whose untimely death our actions caused

Fallowed earth
We’ve lost
We’ve ruined

Like rocks though in pieces
Left to hang above
On our waiting heads will stray and fall

We say aloud and paint them around
“Foreigners  foreigners” as if they did them all
Not locals who in turn their living made
And now join the crowd to hoot and shoot
Our own lurks around while they, we soon deport
Say no more if you can’t punish them all
“Foreigners foreigners” as if they did them all”
