The Poem - Steadfast with God
Nana Frema Busia
Ghana is sweet o, let us dance,
Gesture rhythmic steps towards the NPP/ NDC political foxtrot
On main street Ghana, they are jubilating that
A bloody elephant has been succumbed with a deadly umbrella blow
Surely King JAK and his Midas crew developed corrupt ears that could not hear
They are now clothed in naked defeat so real
‘Yeresesam ako yen anim’ so we dance The college of democracy is interested in
Truth, accountability, economic and social justice as watchmen
Something is certainly wrong with
Our collective morality, ethics and principles
Of ingrained corruption and permissive greed
These are the treadmills of moving forward to nowhere dance
EX President JAK sung blatant discordant baritones of
My golden legacy is around my neck
Dancing the globe trotting waltz with
Partners whose fuel slanted eyes do not see so well
The king’s men and women who should have known better
Cheered on the unpardonable and justified the ungodly
TILL the top heavy ‘kukrudu’ tripped and fell
On the fake hop hop kangaroo dance of elephants
H.E. President Attah Mills and his ‘horsepower’ team
Shall spread iron clad umbrella tentacles
Around the misplaced priority golden jubilee presidential peacock house
Some are saying that the H. E. Attah Mills victory parade
Has already been overrun by negative ‘akatamanso’ forces dancing the hot salsa dance
A change in location to grandiose edifice is not the needed absolution
It does not release the demons of power that haunt the Ghana presidency
Peace ho, is Ghana’s victory sweet and sour or what?
‘Asabone nkum asaase oooo o’ let us dance
I am not dancing the NPP I told you so dance
Because I believe in Ghana; I am gingerly learning ‘Onyame wo ho ye hu’ steps
I am soberly reflecting gospel blues and singing ‘Gye Nyame’ deliverance songs for Ghana
Ghana is sweet paa o; let us dance the ‘fawohodi’ freedom dance
Let loose all manner of prisoners in an indiscriminate jigsaw joke
Another puzzle that will tarnish an already beleaguered legacy
Our national footnotes boast a depressing line up of
Compulsive corpses and a tragedy of mangled bodies
Emaciated ghosts follow the trail in a procession of blood to Accra
In a public invitational to the jubilation dance
H.E. President Attah Mills & company’s new Ghana manifesto
Should revisit the basics of governance
A sincere political will to serve God and the people with ‘kokromoti’ thumb printing power
Unencumbered by selfish interests in 10 percent sidekicks is key to progress Shall we truly truly dance the ‘asomdwoe’ dance?
Peace ho, Development knocks, Dance yes
Dance the dance of acquiescence.

- Flashback December 2008 - ... JOIN,JOIN! NPP provides free buses to boost fortunes The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is offering to bus free-of-charge, its supporters living in Accra but who have to vote in other parts of the country during the December 28, 2008 runoff.
An advertiser’s announcement in the dailies is calling on all such supporters to “note that free transport arrangements have been made for them as follows:
“Comfortable Buses will leave Accra on Saturday 27th December, 2008 at 11.00am to Kumasi, Obuasi, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Agona Swedru, Berekum, Sunyani, Wenchi, Nkawkaw, Koforidua and Akyem Oda, and will pick them at designated points on Sunday, 28th December 2008 at 4.00pm to bring them back to Accra (Free of Charge).
“Supporters should however submit their Voters ID Card or any other proof of eligibility to vote. Please come along with all Party faithful in their numbers to make this impending N.P.P Victory a grand one.
“Please note that the Buses will converge at Kwame Nkrumah Circle Round-About.
“Ghana is moving forward so don't be left behind.”
The NPP’s opponents, the National Democratic Congress, are yet to make any such elaborate sponsorship of its supporters, but it is practice endorsed by the two sides to galvanize their supporters to vote.
