Street
The streets echo with cries of pedlars
And desperate traders
The man on the bicycle selling the yoghurt
The pantryman with the heavy hot pots
Heart raced is the sobolo girl chasing the trotro bus for just one cedi
But behold that pompous fool headed girl
Full of chuckles at the sweating bofrot woman
The so called prestigious lawyer
mocking the little cobbler
And quite soon shall this scorn morph into pain
Pain then shall transform into hate
Hate shall birth anger a
nd anger shall release destruction
It is time we appreciate those on the streets
The hardworking men and women out there
Those struggling to make a living
And it is time we rebuke the decayed white collared workers
Who cheat to make a living.
Maybe then can the canker that rots us all dissipate from our midsts
*sobolo_ cheap local Ghanaian drink *trotro_ usually dilapidated commercial bus *bofrot_ doughnuts
