She chooses to live
a life of style ,
A life where her story
Will be told using stanza
Rhyme and conclude in verse.

A story which will be
 Written using metaphor and
Simile to illustrate her 
Personification as an elegant
beautiful creature

 She chooses to be poetic,
Ironically she was still prosaic
Every day of her life
Trying to fake it
 till she makes it

She wanted to take the Road that is less travel
The road that diverges
Into two different paths
She took the prosaic
But walk the poetic
To a girl who wanted to be a poet

Oh! Thou sweet land of the free, 🇱🇷

You paved the way so others could find their ways

Where men of letter fought for a better day,

And find solutions without delay.
 

Oh! The first daughter of Africa 🇱🇷

Your children lied in a chronic state,

 as certain 'negatives' have long assumed the
roles of 'positives' in their internal system,

And the govern has become ungovernable.


Oh! Belove mama Liberia 🇱🇷

Your children are ruled by People who only let their bias egos and emotion speak for them.

People who cannot address their fellow people without reading it from the papers!

Every word they say is what their hearts never possessed nor desire.



Oh! The first star of the white man's grave🇱🇷

Agony has become the crying concern of your children,

Crying for liberation in the hands of the oppressor

Their cruel wicked hands have turned our situation into a desperate one


Oh! Mama, you children can't bear it any longer🇱🇷

They are now surviving instead of living,

Should they die hoping for better days,

Or keep surviving the horrible ways,
Land of the free

I'm not perfect

I can hold your hand and still mistreat you
I can pour my trust into your heart
And still, break it
I can make a vow and not keep it
I can melt your heart Yet not ready to rebuild it,
 but this is me for me, You've tried to change me
I can paddle into the sea, and yet still choose you
Because these are the up and downs of love we can fix

I'm an artist

I'm an artist but not with your heart,
I stage with the ball like a word Falling over from the pen
To write beautiful metaphors and sensible analogies
I give my all to that little moment that is created by no other
Than this poet and a player
When I stepped out unto the pitch
To defy gravity and create the impossible
Defenders fear at the glance of seeing me,
because the moment of scoring a goal never pass me


I love engraving

I can inscribe you beautiful poems and songs that will rhyme with the melody of your life
I can build you a castle of words in my heart with your name,
I can cradle you and take all your pain using exclamations and punctuations  and leave a piece of you in everything I write
I can **** the I in simile just to give you a smile
I can write an entire lexicon to get you impress and win you over Because that's what I do as an artist



I'm a gentleman

In a world full of chaos and temptation
Mama told me the day I beat on a female is the day I will stop  being a gentleman,
So I seek an alliance Free from violence, cuz I 'll not lift an arm on you,
Because I love you and want you in this union too
I'll not beat on you;
I'll spread the fragrance of peace From the heart of love
On the wings of forgiveness,
That you may taste The source of life and break the spell that manifests in hate and confusion;
I will pray for you well-being, I'll protect her, and spoiled you with love,
Because where I'm from Gentlemen are made to adore
And cherish the tornado they were created to love


I am a keeper

When times are hard and things are tough I will give you a shoulder to laid on

when the sun won't shine and there's no silver line,
I will be there to brighten up you darkness

if you are sobbing because your heart feels torn,
I will share my heart with you

if you feel alone like you're unknown,
I will present, protect and provide for you

if you think you've failed because you haven't set sail,
I will be a boat you can cruise on

Because I am a keeper and I keep what is meant to be kept,
And Love what is meant to be love
In the world's of ours Relationship comes with understanding. Know these things to know mw

A love for a Love

When an eye for an eye will turn the World blind,
Then I guess forgiveness must be the order of the day.

When a tooth for a tooth will lead the whole World toothless,
Then compassion must be first on the agenda.


When hate for hate will lead the  Wolrd into a thrall,
Then Love must be our prayer of the day.

When a punch for a punch will lead the World into a fright,
Then peace must be water we serve to all.

When an insult for an insult will lead the world into anxiety,
Then kindness must be our Walking shoes.

When a steal to steal will turn the whole World into thieves,
Then hand over must be the code of conduct.

When hatred for hatred will lead the Wolrd into a plight,
Then brotherhood must be the dream of society.

When ego for the ego will lead to World into arrogance,
Then honor must be our moral values as people.

When pomposity for pomposity will lead the World into tragedy,
Then humility must be our purpose of life.

When loftiness for loftiness will turn the World into a place of an egotist,
Then modesty must be our behavior pattern.
love will set us free

A Tribute to Racism

 When at the beginning of time exist one race,
 When men lived as brothers and not rival,
When we were all made in the image of his grace,
 Then came an idea of survival.

When came the birth of racism,
 Unity was now considered the song of old,
 Then man started to live a life of cannibalism,
An eye for an eye was the code.

 Man lived the life of supremacy,
 Using another of his kind to gain        superiority,
 Segregation and hatred was the courtesy,
Until man begin to acknowledge his insanity

Because love and unity were restored and sorrow ends,
And racism was no longer our friend.
ISIAKA AKROMAH Sep 2019
At the beginning of time Love comes to those who love,
 who find their joy in others’ joy,
their tears in others’ tears.
Their affair in others' affairs


For the love of others is a strength, and self-satisfaction is  none,
For proudness has the power to compel affection.
But only Passion of  self-consumption may come,
Submission looks for the grace of its reflection.

Because humility  is like a tide that comes and goes,
And comes and goes according to the moon, giving and receiving as it flows,
For love becomes itself the cause of love, and hate the cause of hate,
But not with me, because where I'm from it is Love for hate ✌
To live is to love and live well

How could you love someone like Me ?


I don't know how you do it
But I keep wondering how
could you love someone like Me?
I have tried to ask you multiples time
But you always  look at me as if it should be obvious .

I don't  know how  you do it
But now I  believe that you don't even know why you love me too as well  .
It is ironic how the feeling just got over the
both of us like we were born for one another

 I keep wondering why u should love someone like Me . I just keep on doing so, because Why should someone love a person like me ?
It just seem impossible that any one could
love me and then I found you loving me all to yourself .


I don't  know what was it that I do
to deserve you but I m thankful for what ever it was that lead you into my life .
And I grateful that you chose to love a soul like me in this era of individual valuative .
Still you keep me wondering , How could you love someone like Me?

Words
I'm just a nobody
how could you do ?
