24/7

Allow me that chance to call you,

Allow me that chance to text you

Let me be your alarm,

Ticking every second

The thought of you hitting the road,

Frightens me

And our roads in fact,

Scares me

These our pot-bellied men,

Haven’t seen the need,

To tar our pot-holes

But on such trips,

They fly

Flying like a deer in pursuit of its life,

And reaching to their destinations safely

While my dear battles for her life,

In mixed feelings

 

How do you feel at the thought of someone close to you going for  a longer trip? Especially when you know the situation involving road safety is very disturbing. 

Others have lost their loved ones in such accidents and it is very worrying. Although we don't pray for such misfortunes we need to be cautious and observant about these issues in the country.

Oh Father who art in heaven, Does that mean artists draw inspirations from you? Our palette holds too many strokes of burden, Yet, your guidance helps us find the perfect hue Aren't we Young Sheldons? Answering to many pep talks about our city's blues Mostly, it's difficult to tell what the Lord's serving, Yet, I know his grapes are one of the things he brews                                    II In the desert with my ears to the ground, I heard better days are coming with full speed My joy knows no bound, Has me moving my arms and legs like Bruce Lee Heavy lies the head that wears the crown No wonder this true vine got thorns but fruits juicy Peacefully sticking to my guns for another round, My arms are ready to fire bloody shots like an Uzi                                  III Pharisees with chali...

Mariska Araba Taylor-Darko, the Author The Iced Water Seller, a 54-paged short story written by Mariska Araba Taylor-Darko,  consists of seven (7) intriguing chapters, which is written in a brief and simple language. Published in 2014, it gets captivating as Araba, a well-to-do woman accidentally or coincidentally bumps into a young hawker. This young hawker would later on turn out to be her lost daughter. Spanning from the first chapter, the story speaks of the encounter of these two women, giving Araba the flashback about her past in the second chapter as well.  The third chapter connects Araba to Sisi Yaa's caretaker, Aunt Caro. Her treatment towards the young girl perturbs Araba. This relays us to Araba's urge to help young girls in situations like hers, in chapter four.  Araba probing further about Sisi Yaa's background, ends up meeting Mansah. Mansah who comes from Araba's town, happens to be the one who took care of Sisi Yaa. Finally, the bitter-sweet new...
