Dear Mother Ghana

Dear mother Ghana, tis your dear son Ob Nana. Despite how blessed we are, why are we, sinking below waters? Economy rising speedily, next thing we know too, it'll be 1000 Ghana to buy a, fake replica of the popular brand Prada. Though tis always summer, ironically we feel the cold winter, and it beats our minds enough to make us go gaga, bananas. When will it end? Sometimes I just wonder, with the?increase in unemployment numbers, besides the rising dollar.

"Is it?"

The headline of the hour states that the Cedi is inferior, to me this is a tough nationwide disturbance. Eleven cedi to a dollar?, men, what a bummer, so much for Bolt, Yango, Taxify, and Uber. The currency breaks my heart, I say this with sincerity, whilst looking up to God for a heavenly remedy. Cedi news alarmingly, ain't nothing we should toy with and, just treat?casually.

"Huh"

Subjectively, the cedi from the Gold Coast keeps weakening weekly, as the dollar keeps rising steadily as prices are unbelievable in Ghana's economic instability. Where's the sense of serenity, when our currency is nothing short of a comedy, compared to the other nation's current economy? Unexplainable mother Ghana, tis just unbearable. Things are miserable in a land where we are more than capable, and more than able to deal with any obstacle, yup we are that powerful and full of great talents though.

"Yup"

If Gold Coast is our caption, tell me why we lack such zeal and passion to cater to you dear mother Ghana who bore us with selfless compassion. We have gold, and bauxite resources that other countries be lacking. Rather than sulking, we should plow without ever parking, lest we be bitter, sour, and end up always yapping. Prim proper tactics will be the price to pay instead of napping. Cos to me it feels like we are just slumbering, if not, we would go all out and take every necessary action.

"Are you with me, uh"

Son and daughters, mother or father born by mother Ghana, let's take the wheels of the nation and, restore it to its glory, it ain't too late to, rewrite the nation's story. Though it's tough, we need to stay strong and proactively make this happen. A step taken by all and sundry is the key that will make Mother Ghana smile proudly. I end by saying "Let's push past this hustling. Whatever we do, be it carpentry or plumbing, let's do it well for the sake of our dear mother Ghana, gladly"

"We got to"

There may be other countries like Canada, but in the end, there is only one Ghana. A country with souls worth more than billions of treasures and, can there ever be another Ghana, a motherland like no other? not that I remember, not even the great England. let's live a legacy that's far from the ordinary. You and I, we make up the extraordinary, together let's end this on a note of victory. Though it won't come that easily, do it for God, Country, and Family.

This is my unsung acapella to the whole nation of Ghana, hope this note, hits every nail by the hammer,

Written by Obuobi Nana Dei, your poetic spoken word author.

"Peace out"
