Living in a vast world yet knowing
so little, they two in one, so alike yet so
different, eating and loving in their dark
enclosure, not knowing that they were
being watched by an intruder.
Who unseen but knowing so much.
Now they are drowning victims of
mass destruction. In the hot sea they wail.
The people are at their death.
The green flag of the intruder gaily
waves as if to say “I told you it would happen”
It is too late my friends,
the rich word of “peace” has sunken.
The ball of destruction you created
has exploded.
Who is the mysterious intruder?
Is he one from above?
From there where joy abounds,
where there is peace unknown to
here down under?

Hello lovers of poetry and spoken word,
Hope you are well. I created this blog for you!
My book entitled "The Witness - Poetry, Spoken Word, Poetic Story telling 1984-2019" is now available on Amazon books (online). Posts in this blog are poetry from this book as well as the You Tube Channel "Witness Life. Raise Awareness".
Come with me on this scribal journey from 1984 to 2019 where I have written to raise awareness to issues affecting humanity such as self esteem, mental health, abuse, homelessness, bullying, social justice etc.. as well as general daily life and world affairs.
If only confined in a book format, my words that give counsel, food for thought, inspiration and hopefully joy and healing can only reach a fraction of humanity, hence I created this blog as well as the You Tube Channel called "Witness Life. Raise Awareness" (please like and subscribe). I will also be posting audiovisual videos from You Tube.
Here you will be on a journey from gloom through hope to glory which will not disappoint as issues expressed in poetic prose, from the trivial to serious, will hopefully cause you to reflect, bring healing, inspiration, joy and hopeful generate fruitful conversation and actions.
Do come with me my friend, subscribe.. follow.. and indulge!
Yours sincerely,
Deborah E. Nyamekye
