The Garden of Eden

By Patrick Koranteng Antwi
 

My house had fine gold lining

It was made up of green grass carpet

Hidden in it were gold nuggets

The tress were so tall like troubles

There was fresh air with no margin

Sun shone neither morbid nor sordid

Snakes were ropes to play with

Lions were cats to jump on

Free will was like love we leaned on

My house is here on earth

The continent above the rest

It had animals for decorations

And power as protection

It had unity as security

And faith for eternity

It had knowledge as promised

And crime was banished

It flowed with milk and honey

We did not buy with money

The sea was blue in colour

All were safe like manna.

The land was black in nature

It shapes like gun with telescope

Its sees afar, shoots like a star

My decorations were beautiful heavens

They were not to be burdens

But “vultures” destroyed this heaven

They killed the paradise

They sent it to decorate elsewhere

Hypocrites took the paradise

The metal ship came with whips

My people has a fine heart hidden

They are strong like the phoenix
