Mustapha Muinah Poems

I am a princess
i hate ugliness
but beauty is priceless
i am hopeless,
...

My heart ring the bell of loneliness
my voice bring sadness
everyday, i feel hopeless
The first time i met you
...

I was a prince but now a slave.
I was sold to the slave master by my father's chief
i know that i wont have been sold if i wasnot selfish.
I wish i could change the way i behave then but it was just a wish.
...

Life is a race from one generation to another,
it is a mystery just like a flower
life is glorious, adorable and yet its fragile
life is like a horney suckle
...

May your soul rest in peace,
that is what i ought to say
but my mind is not at rest
after you left me.
...

Some people came into my life and make me sad.
Some came into my life and make me madd.
Some came into my life and change who i am.
But you came into my life and help me discover myself.
...

Alone at night
i need light
so that i wont think about the way you fought for your life.
You gasped for breath
...

Rain, rain please rain
i want you to drain my pain,
i want to hear the way you beat the roof with a cane,
i want you to drain my pain.
...

Why dont we appreciate people while they are alive?
Why do we wait for death to snatch them before we appreciate them?
Why do we show our loved ones we love them after they have kick the bucket?
Why do we make the people we love feel unloved?
...

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the gun
The sound of war
A sound that put pain into the heart of man
...
