GHANA WAILS! ~ the WORLD WEEPS!

... an Ode to the late President of Ghana JOHN EVANS ATTA MILLS



Sound the GONG`GONG
Beat the FONTOMFROM
Let the Kings & Chiefs go naked!
Zillions, Billions, Millions & Thousands make a Hundred
The Queen Mothers beat the mountains on their chests
Yes! The tears strolling down our cheeks cannot be counted
Unto whose shoulders will the palanquin be mounted?!

ODOMANKOMA ~ the Giver of life
YOU have left your people with bitter strife
This news is too much, it cuts like a knife
It's as sharp n deadly as a warrior's sword
Yes! GHANA has lost her spinal chord
Emotions have taken flight like a concord

Little did we all know that this would happen!
The saddest news has hit this nation GHANA!
The First Man of this Land - the Father of GHANA!
Why not the devil?! Why didn't Satan enter the wagon?!
The Noble Man of Peace & Tranquility has passed on.
He has joined His ancestors - He has kicked the bucket!
What more can we do?! What more can we say...
But to wish Him well as he embarks on the journey of no return.

Indeed! GHANA Wails & the World Weeps
Away Happiness sails and in Sorrow creeps
GHANAIANS, gather your black cloth
For to grief we now betroth
Like a moth to a flame
We will hail your name!
Indeed! GHANA Wails & the World Weeps

Who is brave enough to deliver this message?!
Who will be there to grant him safe passage?!
It is with a hero's blood that we write this page
Yes! It’s with a heavy heart that we tell this story
What else can we say?! Sorry, but yet we worry!
Oh NO, there is no joy in this, there is no glory!

Your Good Morals will forever live with Us.
Yes! YOU have been the man of peace -
The Asomdwe Hene of our time -
The humble president of your era.
YOU have blessed this Motherland
In more ways than YOU can ever imagine.

If there ever was a time YOU fell short -
It was cuz YOU were human and no one can hold YOU liable for that.
My PRESIDENT ~ I look to the skies as a child waving at an aero'plane
But in reality, I am waving YOU goodbye.
YOU have departed in body, yet YOU go to rest in Spirit.
Once again ~ your legacy as the peace maker will...
Be unblemished for YOU did the work assigned you.

He has fallen
The Might Oak has fallen
The Baobab Tree has been uprooted!
The Black Star of GHANA just fell from the flag
Away Happiness sails and in Sorrow creeps
Indeed! GHANA Wails & the World Weeps!

Uncle Attah - GOD bless and keep YOU.
Where ever you are,
Where ever you are going,
Where ever you will be ~
GHANA will always be the HOME YOU will miss.
GOD bless our HOMELAND GHANA ~
As HE blessed us with the man full of manner!

John ~ fare thee well!
Evans ~ may your soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest in peace!
Atta ~ Da yie! Damirifa due
Mills ~ your Homeland Ghana wishes you well.

Prof. JOHN EVAN ATTAH MILLS -
May YOU find solace in the arms of the earth that once birthed YOU.
May the tears of Mother Ghana & the Protection of our Forefathers
Grant YOU eternal warmth in the bosom of the Creator.

Indeed! GHANA Wails & the World Weeps
Away Happiness sails and in Sorrow creeps
GHANAIANS, gather your black cloth
For to grief we now betroth
Like a moth to a flame
We will hail your name!
Indeed! GHANA Wails & the World Weeps!
