Ghana: Africa's Pride

Basking in the welcome

Walking in the rain

Soaking up the sunshine

Wincing at the pain

 

Port of slaves

Place of gold

Seeds of youth

Roots of old

 

Markets on the pavement

Traders on the street

Worship under treetops

Beggars with no feet

 

Forts of cursed

Ships of yoke

Lakes of thirst

Spirits broke

 

Jesus Saves Motor Shop

God’s Grace Treasure Chest

Daily Prayer Mini-Mart

Retail’s heaven blessed

 

Grazing goats

Cows in pens

Roaming dogs

Free range hens

 

Bridges in the forest

Primates shy and rare

Anthills in the village

Bird songs on the air

 

Plates of rice

Laced with salt

Blends of spice

Drinks of malt

 

Fashion on the sidewalk

Music in the heat

Gridlock on the roadway

Dancing to the beat

 

Adinkra signs

Ashanti kings

Changing times

Freedom’s wings

 

Looking to the future

Seeing hope-filled eyes

Sensing a fresh vision

Of Africa’s new pride
