Have in common?
II
As Kken shouted from a Citadel
In the city of Kken
All heard Kken
From the rooftop of Kken’s den
On his 2Net
All heard Kken
There he sounded his alarm bells
Some were tangible alarm bells
Some were unintelligible sounding bells
Some only ferried him to fame
But they all sounded the same
Can Kken scream less than he yells?
Everyone heard Kken
When Kken insinuated
Many felt insulted
Others licked it with only a pinch of salt
When Kken split it open
The Pandora’s box split open
Sealed lips cracked open
Fastened jaws dropped ajar
Can Kken not keep a secret?
Everyone cowered at Kken
When Kken traced the source of the blame
Kken boasted to name to shame
When Kken threatened to maim
Kken promised to light one hot flame
To extinguish everyone’s fame…in life
To burn out everyone’s flame…of life
Can Kken not tread gently?
Can Kken give an old leaf a new lease of life?
II
Everyone saw Kken
When Kken was all white
Arrayed and robed as white as white
Everyone saw Kken
When Kken shone as bright as daylight
Attired and clothed as an Angel of Light
Can Kken be as white as a budget presentation?
Everyone heard Kken
When Kken quoted divine notes
Everyone heard Kken
When Kken waxed lyrical
Biblical
Apocryphal
Everyone heard Kken
When Kken cancelled all the levying nuisances
When Kken abolished all the taxing encumbrances
When Kken vowed never to levy beyond their circumstances
Can Kken not recall those instances?
Everyone heard Kken
When Kken spoke to everyone
From the halls in the towns
“Face to face is better
Far better than the hassling and the jostling
And the battling at the Parlia-hall”
Can Kken not hear the voice of the people?
Everyone heard Kken
When Kken spoke about what he needed
But not everyone heeded
Kken pleaded and persuaded
But Everyone got dissuaded
Can Kken not discern the mood of Fellow Ghanaians?
Everyone spoke to Kken
To seal the old leaky levy basket
Than to roll out a new on the e-pocket
Everyone whispered to Kken
To prevent the exempted from being the exception
Than to stretch the pockets of those with no politico, socio connection
Everyone counseled Kken
To widen the net from one to ten
From the Archaeologists to the Zoologists
Than to heighten the load on the e-transactions
Can Kken explain why he cannot?
Everyone had a question for Kken
Kken, since you won the e-fight
Have you not seen the e-fight?
The e-flight?
Everyone has seen
Everyone now agrees
Kken, you lost the e-fight
Hands down!
