Mistakes and Wisdom
By: Don Pax In life’s grand tapestry, a thread awry, A choice misguided, a moment’s folly. The sting of error, sharp and clear, Leaves wounds that time alone can sear. Yet in the aftermath of our mistake, A seed of wisdom starts to prep. From failure’s soil, new growth appears, Nourished by remorse and tears. […]
A Second Chance at Love
By: Naa Doodua Doodu Everything seemed to fall apart, Deception, grief, and pain, The ones I thought loved me turned against me, Stabbed in the back, I decided not to love anymore. I gave my all to give us the best we needed, But all pointed hands at me, mocked me, and despised me. I […]
Dying to New life -A mystery to Unfold
By: Nuoyong For in dying, we are born to eternal life. The expectant mother in the travail of labor, But soon joy at the first breastfed. Who will explain this mystery? The pains of labor, then the smiles of joy. The agony at Gethsemane, the glory at Calvary. Why this extreme feeling of contradictory reality? […]
I Am Because We Are
By: Don Pax Like branches of an ancient tree, Our roots entwined beneath the sea. Of countless stories, lived and shared, Each triumph earned; each burden bared.

Lost and Found

The Mirror of Brotherhood
By: Don Pax I stand before the mirror, my reflection unclear, “Brother,” I whispered, but the word tasted of fear. Can I truly claim this title, so easily said? When behind closed doors, my love lies dead. My sister’s tears, I’ve caused them to fall, Yet I smile and hug her in the crowded hall. […]
The Sage of Folly
By: Don Pax He struts and preens, a peacock’s pride, His tongue was a weapon, sharp and snide. “I’ve seen it all,” he boldly claims, While wisdom quietly disclaims. Each careless word, a pebble tossed, Creates a ripple, something lost. The cosmos listens, ever near, To every whisper, laugh, and jeer. Oh fool who thinks […]
Kantamanto Hustle
By: Don Pax In Accra’s heart, where Kantamanto buzzes, A young man weaves through crowded streets, Dreams as vibrant as kente cloth, Hopes as tall as the Jamestown lighthouse. Each day, a marathon through market stalls, Dodging cars, hawkers, and hard luck, His legs may tire, but his spirit? Untamed. Like a turtle in Labadi’s […]
