This’s My Ghana ??
In the ancient time is Koumbi Saleh
Full of riches and different cultures grounding to an empire Mali
A land that stretches with forestation and deserts
Bounty foods and hunters
The comely curvy ladies and their restless soldiers
Celebrating the king Gana
Fashioned with the land’s best minerals
With the color showing unity
King Dinga Cesse, first king of Empire Ghana
Becoming powerful as the discovery of iron zones
With their traditional jobs as the workers of the lands
Feeding multitudes with handful from their farms
Soninke and Mande they expressed themselves as natives
A free will of marrying the culture of Islam
Yet Islam settled like of the snail
Resisting so many wars holds them into a boredom
Sosso ruler of Sumanguru conquered
The fall of the Wagadou Empire
Finding it stands in the rising of Mali Empire
The first settlers,Guan,their roots from Mossi a region of modern Burkina
Bono and The ruling Abrade originated from the
ancient Ghana, migrated through Egypt and Nubia
Israel,migrated southward to present day Uganda, along the Congo River,westward through Cameroon Nigeria Benin Togo and now Accra Ghana was the Ga’s
In the Yoruba kingdom tracing to Oya in Western Nigeria,seeing the dwelling farmers of the Ewes
The oldest to form a modern territory, Mole Dagbani from Lake Chad to establish Mamrupsi Kingdom at Gambaga
Not forgetting our selfless warrior leaders
Leading the people to present settlements
The likes of Ndewura Jakpa, flourishing establishing the kingdom Gonja
The god of Tsali, his legacy influencing the Ewes to be powerful
Abubakar, Dawuda, and Soleimana the three bravest men to lead the Fantes nicknamed in a victorious song as Obromankuma!Obromankuma ! Obapejan! Osunu! Osunu etsini aboa
Anokye blessing the Ashantes with the goddess Stool
The lineage holding the heritage of Ghana
Greed, slavery exposed our flaws
The West mediocritizing our thoughts
Rectifying to appreciate our Gold Coast
Ivories,salts and plagues of the old folks
Fighting themselves was a man whose father was a woman
With their castles degrading natives in dungeons
Beginning of slavery and grave
Others resisted but were tamed
Natives soldiers becoming coromantees in different countries
The reason of the call of the Bond of 1844
The Fantes Confederation coming in agreement to achieve a goal
Was broken by deceitful colony
Creating the awareness of independence
The story of Yaa Asantewaa, wukum apem aa apem b3ba conquest as her frontiers
Leading the people to fight until they’re flawless
Her exile was a blow to the Ashantes loosing the battle contexts
The gentlemen from the Fanteland, John Mensah Sabah in the times of Gold Coast
His messages were Freedom posts
Putting across lots of loads which seemed vague but was of goals
The time of self governance was due
Calling on all the visionaries with a motive they pursue
Self Governance within the shortest possible time themselves they argue
When will that be achieved?
Kwame Nkrumah was brought as the front liner
Seeing the ellipsis in achieving the goal
Form himself Self Government Now the slogan of CPP
The party that gave the people feet
Glory flourishing in land of Ghana
Osaadeyor Osagyefu Kwame Nkrumah was our song
6th March we harvest our corn
Wearing the cloth of sovereignty in 1st July 1960
The bad nut was broken
The gun became ruler
Inflicting a game coup detat
From the military of Achempong all the way to Rawlings
Shooting was cautioned
Rawlings the last of the gun regime out of love born Democracy
Everyone was afraid his actions are still in the autocracy
The phase of Ghana was changed
Kabi nami kabi was the lullaby
Breeding nepotism and favoritism
Propaganda and corruption
Leaders with greed manipulating the law to protect them
Forgetting the strong words of our father Freedom! Freedom! Ghana your beloved country is free forever. Backward never forward ever. The black man has the capacity of managing his own affairs
This is my Ghana
It is one and our honor
This is my Ghana
It is resourced and we need to protects its nature
This is my Ghana
Its tradition is our hallmark
The new generation should eradicate this pedestrian political jeopardy
Because it soils the nation with filth
