I DON'T KNOW
Where is the truth? Many paths avails
Hope you believe in yours
You think you know,
then you don't know
You judge,
then judge the world
Why are you living?
You think you know
Your mind and your soul,
which one knows?
- Patrick Adjei Nketia (27/02/13)
THE INTENT OF MAN
The white hot intent of man unseen
The colored book seen isn’t as the wisdom therein
Mourning with you but smiling cheerfully within
The outer seen might not be the inner unseen
The white hot intent of man unseen
Like opening the door happily and closing it murmuring
Like seeing the vile and after raising the vile
Like awakening from a horrifying dream
The white hot intent of man unseen
Greet you in the morning and will plan your obituary at night
Will honor you with his lips but he is far from you in his heart
“You can count on me” they say, but counting on them become countless
The white hot intent of man unseen
The outer seen might not be the inner unseen
