The Sound Of Gas Explosion; A Poem by S Kojo Frimpong

Ghana is burning again

Her children, mourning in pain

And in no other place than the capital

The heart of the nation is on fire

Not to brighten our dark world

But burning on its own course

To flame lives and properties

Into it's pregnant belly once more

Haven't we fed fire with our blood

And sweat for too long?

Accra has made it to the news again

But what good does being in the front pages

Daily in the graphics do to us

When bad becomes the only word that convoys the news?

For how long ? will we allow

The world to mourn our loss

And mock us for our brains we sold

To buy greed and sell at cheaper prices

For how long? do we have to flood

The eyes of Ama Ghana all in the effort

Of quenching an avalanche of fire

Started by our own cold hearts

Do we have to celebrate fire annually?

Our leaders should confirm finally

So we can start smoking near our cold hearts

To melt and form Hades on Earth

Maybe screams in the mid night air

Brings soothing satisfaction to your ears

Let the earth tremble from your toes

Or else we will all perish from this foe

That has tormented us for years

Poems From The Graves

(www.skojofrimpong.blogspot.com)

This poem is based on a true life event concerning the Atomic Junction Explosion.
Atomic Junction is a suburb of Madina in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.

This sad event which occurred on the 7th of October this year 2017 and resulted in

severe damages including loss of lives. I personally think this poem deserves an award.

So my fellow Ghanaians let's all help support this poem to get to the government because

I have been so touched by this message. And the impact of it has pushed me to publish this post. S Kojo Frimpong Is a young Writer who has acquired recognition through his inks. You can do more research about this great Ghanaian talent on social media platforms. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
