Things fall apart

You feel a knot
Stifle a sob
Heave a sigh
Wishing on a star
Hoping for another stab

OMG! How does this work?
Falling for a taken soul
Stressing for another's love
Affecting another's halo

A friendship for life
Frayed, tottering, on the brink
Life's lessons learned
A fist bangs the table
Frustrated, helpless, guilt tripped
A friendship gone tepid
A love turned sour
Things fall apart
Never to be put back

The fizz is a fuss
You miss the buzz
Hoping the love survives
Praying its revived
That the centre will finally hold

Kente

the kente cloth
A tapestry of color
A testament of labor
The Fabric of a nation
Worn by the rich,
Expressed by the skilled
Soccer, football
The passion of a continent
The pride of Ghana
Shining above all others
A star; black, bold and beautiful
Weaving a new brand of football
A tapestry of dedication and skill
Uniquely african, seemingly childish
Yet Striding with giants
Winning with 1 stone,
like the proverbial david vrs goliath
Reaching heights hitherto unexpected
A brand awakened,
Dreams enlargened
On the wings of Kente, Gh is reborn;
Our soccer, our fabric, our food, our people
Gh4life! The Pride of Africa
A black star...shining and showing the way!!!
In our Kente we trust, in our Kente we love
Long Live Gh...the Brand
Long Live Ghana, our motherland

Changing tides

Changing tides, changing seasons
A new dawn, new reasons
Reality beckons, waving away stale dreams
Great opportunity? Great challenge?
A great marshall leads a new charge
Trusted generals stutter with doubt and rage
Thousands of arrows in our Quiver
Yet a bigger monster to make us shiver
Years of battle ensure our readiness
Natural skill enforce our willingness
However a loud battlecry
Doesn't preclude trusted strategy
True men, seasoned soldiers
Face a new battle with stiffened shoulders
Under the wings of a new marshall
Shouting chaaaarge!!!!
In an uncomfortably new direction
True men, true soldiers
To follow or to chart a new course
This is a soldiers dilemna
Ever changing reality, in an ever changing world
