when the Kwabena Nketia twisted in proverbs
when the Seprewa strings plug to tune
when the Handel composed to interest

was it done for us?

when the Crosby played and sang
when the Amakye Dede planned to entertain
when the Vivaldi sat down to think

was it done on purpose?

when the Ludovico played to uplift the spirit
when the Fire side stories were told to be remembered
when the da Vinci painted to last

was it done for our generation?

yes , I believe so
may be the present generation are not informed
may be the present generation are not of interest

how can we forget our past
how can we forget our forefathers
how can we forget what we were born with

do we still have our cultural traits in mind
do we still have our cultural elements to be exhibited
do we still have something to be shown to the world

if not, let us go back to the old days
