Poems Quotes and Reality (PQR)

A LETTER TO MY ROOMMATE Grace Asabea Owusu Dear Grace, Finally I gathered the courage to write to you after a whole year! How time flies. You have been in my testimonies and I have shared you with a few people who came my way. However, permit me to share you with the world. Remember the time we had a discussion about life after school? The way you were so excited about National Service, getting employed and finally getting hitched to your sweetheart *wink*. Well, life after school came. You were there for National Service. I don’t think I will ever forget how desperately you wanted a reposting. Perhaps, if it had gone through I will not be writing this letter. I am not going to blame the National Service Secretariat for your decision to ‘travel’, at least not in this letter *smile*; I have done that a thousand times already. Perhaps if thoughts could kill believe me, half of their staff would not be found now *giggle*. So during National Service, I called you a

'Like a suspect with an alibi'   A CLOSED CHAPTER Story of your life Where your thoughts come alive And the days take you closer to a life That you desire to have Tick-tock, the seconds sound Tip-toe, your life silently crawls by Flip-flop, You walk around Like a suspect with an alibi Story of a time in your life When You feel the stare of silent eyes Eagerly watching for your next slide And yet you soar before their very eyes But then, do you remember That before the soar There was a sore Of uncertainty, doubt and fear That dimmed the cheer of life: The laughter, partying, friendships and falling in love And brightened the pain of life: The tears, mourning, ‘frenemies’ and heartbreaks The rejections and mistakes The loneliness and mockery That taught you the best lessons The different people The different theories and ideas The harmony of disharmony And perfect imperfections That awakened your mind To new possibilities and opportun

Who is Behind the Mask? Like a ball of the century; with so many colourful gowns and suits; different shapes and sizes; assorted brands and designs; similar tastes in fashion and yet so different sense of style. Like a brood of vipers; eyeing their next victim; frightening as they attack with lightning speed and faultless precision; and fascinating in their boredom after a conquest. Like a pack of hyenas; mocking danger with their annoying laughter; seemingly fearless yet very alert with their eyes on the nearest exit; hopeful for an uneventful escape. Like peacocks; strutting about with pride in the beauty bestowed upon them; spreading their feathers for all to admire and yet full of envy for the little sparrows. Like the never ending ball of the world; where we participate yet feel left out,  laugh out loud but full of pain, smile at other guests yet full of malice, being polite yet full of rebellion. We dance with merry, feeling the pinch of our toes inside o

What is life?  Life is a pattern that is carefully designed to bring out an authentic creation. It is a continuous cycle that never stops; an intentional way of doing things over a long period of time; an already made puzzle where you are the piece that fits in perfectly or maybe not; it is a never ending maze where you meet other wanderers and yet have to find your own way out.  Life is like a series of events that are happening at the same time and you have the option to watch it all happen or participate in one and get the chance to enjoy it. Life is a dictator ; it chooses your parents, siblings, and your family lineage. It has control over the country, tribe, region, class of society and even your sex as a human being. Like I mentioned, it was an already made puzzle where you just have to fit in perfectly. So you are trying to. The paradox is that life does not give you an identity; you make an identity for yourself. And that is when you can have a life t
