The Way I Love You
By: Naa Doodua Doodu The way I love you surpasses all understanding, From the very day we met, my heart was yours. You’ve become my Achilles heel, my gentle weakness, No matter how hard I try, I can’t stop loving you. Sitting by the beach, feeling the cool breeze with you, Has been my greatest […]
A king has fallen
By: Naa Doodua Doodu Death has laid its icy hands on him, And his family grieves in sorrow deep. What are we to do in this time of despair, Who shall we run to, where can we seek relief? Children left behind, though grown, still yearn For the love of their father, now gone away. […]
Stigmata of the Forgotten
By: Don Pax In alleyways and shadows, they reside, Bearing wounds unseen by passersby. Their crosses heavy, their burdens deep, A world that turns away, refusing to see. Nail-pierced hands reach out in vain, For mercy, for comfort, to ease the pain. Thorn-crowned heads bow low in shame, Excluded from life’s grand, gilded game. But […]
Addiction: The Darkest Fall
By: Naa Doodua Doodu Addiction—the worst thing that can befall, Bets and drugs led me down the devil’s call. I lost myself, my world in pieces, Everything I had slipped further away.

Trust in the Unseen
By: Don Pax In metal tubes, we soar through skies, Trusting hands we’ve never met. On waves, we sail, ‘neath starry eyes, With captains, we cannot vet.

Chains of mind
By: Naa Doodua Doodu Imprisoned in our land, bound by ignorance, Their honeyed words sweetened our ears, The nicest voices we ever heard, Yet behind our backs, they cursed us. We believed their praises, While they mocked our innocence. The few with knowledge stayed silent, Curious for more, despite their displeasure. We abandoned our heritage, […]

Betrayal in Disguise
By: Naa Doodua Doodu We called them friends But they never treated us as such. We did everything together, Yet they abandoned us in our time of need. We shared all we had, But they kept their secrets hidden. They acted like friends, While stabbing us in the back. They laughed with us, But mocked […]
