MAY 9

 

MAY 9

 May 9,

Nothing good, nothing nice

Ghana’s cloud nine,

Became sour like lime

Confusing like a rhyme,

No one could find Jesus Christ,

 to turn blood into wine

It all began when fans said that the score line,

Was not the answer from the dice

That the decisions of the referees were all lies.

Their actions called for teargas in the skies

With the peppery smoke itching their eyes,

They began to run for their lives

Confined and denied by stampede,

They began heading towards 6 feet

Some run and cried,

Others couldn’t survive

Alas, no matter how they tried,

The news could not become sublime

They paid dearly for their lives,

What an expensive fine!

That Wednesday was our dark Wednesday,

It became a story of ashes to ashes

My fellow Catholics,

Remember us in prayers on Ash Wednesday

Never again,

Will there be a day

Or a May

Where lives will be displayed,

On cold floors in the mortuary

Never again,

Should there be a day

Or a May

Where sports will be horrible,

Gory and uncontrollable

Never again,

Will there be a day

Or a May

Nay!

Never again

Be it a match,

Between Kotoko, or Hearts

We must have the right conscience,

Whenever we are present at the stands

Our football needs no kululu

Nor anyone trying to behave like taflats3 bulu

Dirtying ourselves with mulu

Let us bring back the love,

The one we once had.

 

* Kotoko_A football club in Ghana

*Kululu_a Ghanaian slang which means cheating

*taflats3_ A slang excusing someone when about to say a profane or bad word

*Bulu_ An insane person

*Mulu_ The local word for dust
