WHAT IS NEW?

What am about saying is an unedited thoughts from my mind which I pray readers would help me achieve my goal of pouring these out.

Anyone who happens to be a member of 1998 and downward years batch of students can’t forget how he skillfully scribbles on paper using ink just to express his/her feelings or request. undoubtedly  they would say things have changed and it’s true. So I ask what is new? Join me analyst these two letters I wrote to my two lovers, Ama and  sewaa in 1971 and 1999 respectively.

FROM ME TO YOU AMA

                                                                                                         Add love to love,

                                                                                                         Subtract hatred,

                                                                                                         Product it with kisses.

                                                                                                          Date this promise.

Hello my sweet apple,

I always want to see you every second, minute, hour, day, week, month and every year. i  always ask why is my dear love so precious as gold?

Ama ,I want to tell you once again that mountains may break, earth may turn but our love will never break. As pepper is tasteless without salt, so is life cheerless without you.

With you by my side, I know we can make our lovely tea from the sugar mountains across the milky sea and through the coffee island. I love you more than harmattan pawpaw. You are the only mosquito in my bed net please bite me!

May my love for you increase like fuel prices in Ghana your sorrows drop like cedi value and our relationship last like corruption in Nigeria………….

LETTER TO MY BLIND DATE SEWAA

                                                                                                                                                     In my hall

Comment ca va ma Cherie?

Can’t believe this is the angel I have been talking to all these while on phone.

When I first saw you I was in awe, when I looked into your eyes I was lost. My eyes fixed cos I had already seen too much. When I heard your voice say hi, I began to have a warm flooded sense of numbness, causing my entire being to go weak for weeks.

I tried to analyze your architectural detail but was lost at sea, the creator indeed had himself structured it beyond comprehension and I would be glad if you could make me the general overseer of this edifice…………..

Now can someone tell me which of these two letters has old or new lyrics exhibited in it?

Well sometimes you can’t imagine what talent one has got by naturally weaving letters into words and words into sentences just as the good weaver of the shirt you are wearing.

 Back to my earlier question; is there anything new in the universe anyway?

Solomon, long time in the bible, said that there is nothing new under this sun.  Whatever you can say or write is only combination of the letters of the alphabet that we all know and combination of words which already exist.

What is new is not necessarily what is said or written but how it is said, when and why it is said to wit the circumstances of it.
