Believe In My Oath

Believe in my oath,
I do not pine away in the pangs of separation,
My lashes are not yet damp,
No one is between except ourselves.

Believe in my oath,
Inhabitants of the world
Do not have the strength to impede us
While moving ahead on the path of love.

I lived the moments of my past life,
Only tossing and panting for you;
But believe in my oath,
My fervour for you is not the same.

What is hidden in the sleeves,
You can not behold, believe in my oath,
The flag of compromise I do not hold in hand
I have even forgotten your name,
If you are faithless, believe in my oath,
I am not faithful too.

The Time Of The Oath

(m - grapow, l - deris)
In a circle of fire
On a cold winter night
I spoke out my desire
Made a promise
I couldnt hide, no!
In a dream
He came along and told me
Your time has come
Your mind belongs to me
Its the time of the oath
The time of the oath
My sweetest memories
Die in the cold
Its the time of the oath
See me couvered
With sadness
And Ill soon wish to die
When the overcoming madness
Is eating up my mind
Here and now
I look back at a good time
No more lie
I slowly say god- bye
Its the time of the oath
The time of the oath
My sweetest memories
Die in the cold
Its the time of the oath

Abbey

Komfo Anokye,
To the grand durber of the chiefs and the people of my hometown;
But, i am the 'Abusuapanyin' in this town to tell you a story.

Swearing the Great Oath is like the wary of the women,
But riding in palanquins will make it a difference!
And like Abbey my friend who is just in town.

Komfo Anokye,
Drumming and dancing galvanises one's culture;
But, do put forward the agenda of love to all mankind.

Like the Oath of allegiance,
Like the Oath on your love,
And like the Oath of of peace;
For the 'Omanhene' reflects on 'Komfo Anokye' at times.

Under The Rose

Though you may be pure of heart
And free of sin
And though you have been chosen
To begin
And yet you must be worthy of
The prophecy
But seek and you shall find
Your destiny
Loneliness will haunt you
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose
The more you hurt the less you feel
The pain
And the more you change, the more you stay
The same
But now before you lies the quest
At hand
And from this boy you may become
A man
Do you understand
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose

Snake; an oracle of oath

The godless men worship the snake
The godless men take oath in name of snake
And the curse comes upon wrongdoer
The godless men take oath in the name of snake
And blessing rains upon the innocent
The godless men take oath in the name of snake
And snake bitten dead the lair
And snake spare life of the truer
Despite snake answers to godless men
No votive or thank given to snake, the god
So the stopped the men to swear
By it name, snake said men used
Thunder and fire for swearing instead of it name
As snake disowned the godless men
Hex fallen upon

Lying under oath, and encouraging lies under oath, does go to the very heart and soul of what courts do. If we say we don't care, let's forget about courts, and we'll just have other ways of figuring out how to handle disputes.

My Other Hand...

the black man's hand,
the poor man's hand.
the Muslim hand, the Jewish hand...
the gay man's hand,
the working man's hand,
the ex-convict's hand,
the farmer's hand, the garbage man's hand...
the Christian's hand, the atheist's hand,
the father's hand, the soldier's hand,
the peacemaker's hand,
the healer's hand, the teacher's hand,
the prodigal's hand, even the murderer's hand...
the victim's hand, the broken hand,
the praying hand, the touching hand...
all, when extended,
feel like my other hand!

Commitment

Commitment is
An oath one makes
After reaching the deciding factor
That it takes, what it takes
Whether the oath brings the world's
approval or acknowledgement or not
It's all real
Completely genuine
Not at all fake
100% of
total effort
Is what most people desires
For life requires,
tenacity is also
what it takes

But if, on the other hand, we should be justified in rejecting it, if there testified on oath, then, supposing our rules of evidence to be sound, we may be excused if we hesitate elsewhere to give it credence.

The oath of renunciation and allegiance is a solemn vow taken by thousands of immigrants each year to become a United States citizen. The oath is the fundamental statement of allegiance to the United States, and this allegiance is what unites America.

From the witness-box

…And having taken the oath

I
Do admit
I witnessed
Birth
And
Death

I
Do admit
I witnessed
How two can
Come together
And go their
Separate ways

I
Do admit
I witnessed
The hand of time
Behind


I
Do admit
I witnessed
How the invisible
Hand of time
Resolves
Dissolves
And
Dilutes

Allegiance

An oath has been pledged from the heart,
His task was certainly one of steel and iron;
Hard and brittle tasks require difference,
My oath shall proclaim this to the very fibre.

A little push goes a long way to the far end,
Words push and crawl to exterminate;
A wonderful meaning has arisen from them,
To make this pledge of allegiance.

My statements seem sound and sacred,
But my phrases shall count to the rest of us,
In efforts we explain, and all this while
The superiority of our dialogue is shown.

Hand-Me-Down!

got my hand-me-down boots,
and my hand-me-down jeans.
my broke down hand-me-down hat,
doing hand-me-down things.

my hand-me-down fire,
and my hand-me-down pot.
take a hand-me-down chair,
i'll share what i've got.

got some hand-me-down thoughts,
a couple of hand-me-down songs.
i've got a hand-me-down heart
that wont leave you alone.

we'll talk about hand-me-down freedom,
and hand-me-down truth....
in this hand-me-down world,
it's just me and you!

in this hand-me-down world....
paying hand-me-down dues!

As long as I live, I will never forget that day 21 years ago when I raised my hand and took the oath of citizenship. Do you know how proud I was? I was so proud that I walked around with an American flag around my shoulders all day long.

Virtue Vs Evil

Wherever you are wherever you go
I will go with you hand in hand
A faltered state of agony and lust
I will go with you hand in hand
Vying for the amelioration of offspring
I will go with you hand in hand
Injecting an age-long flight from right
I will go with you hand in hand
The endearment of wealth and spendthrift
I will go with you hand in hand
Wherever is the wretched face of human lure
I will go with you hand in hand
The pitfall of human lot has waged a spiritual war
I will go with you hand in hand

The Hand

only the human hand,
the caring hand,
the hand covered in blood
and filth, the hand swollen

bruised, and beaten...
the open hand,
not a fist anymore hand,
not afraid to let go hand,
never letting go hand...

feed the baby, plow the field hand,
stroke the face of
the old woman dying hand...
light the fires, sweep the floors hand...

the praying hand, the picking hand,
the paint the soul hand...
only the human hand
can touch with the heart of God!

My valentine rhymes

Here comes valentine a month of love
Celebrated by the people in love
Together they shared the sweetest love
And both oath not to fall out of love

Valentine gives us knowledge of love meaning
Teach us reasons how to be understanding
Shows us more rationales to be extra caring
And remind us to prepare for suffering

Valentine is not meant to lovers alone
It was for all of us predominantly start at home
Each of us shares feeling that has grown
That all and sundry was very gratified to own

Let me tell you how lucky I am
For this valentine I found my dream man
In a park we walk hand in hand
And the meaning of my love life begun
