Flood Of Flame Poem by Abossey Allotey
Flood Of Flame
Our hearts are heavy,
Our souls are weary,
Our eyes are blurry.
They died! !
They woe- -fully died!
We cried! !
We uncontrol- -lably cried!
Some mother- some new bride;
Also children - what does this imply?
Precious lives taken for a ride
By this FLAME OF FLOOD.
They tried! !
Hope against hope,
They tried!
To find a place to stride.
But No! - - No! - -
No place to hide;
Fire - - Fire- -
Fire on every side.
Some went to seek shelter
Under which to bide;
Some - to buy oil
But the which they were fried
Homes are lost;
Families are displaced.
Hopes are lost,
What can replace?
This Tragic Holocaust
has many lives erased.
Friends -
Kindred -
All are gone.
Some aged -
some youth -
some unborn.
Great people -
Future leaders -
For this we mourn.
We shall them in our hearts adorn.
Ghana cries for a new dawn.
Hearts are heavy
Souls are weary
Eyes are blurry
If you do not see
tears on the cheek
This know...:
Much crying - the eyes are weak.
But we shall rise!
Our children shall rise! !
And their children shall rise! ! !
And all shall be right.
GHANA mourns
but GHANA HOPES.
A sight you wouldn't like to watch twice.
Dear Allotey, my prayers are with you and the people of Ghana and the poor souls who had to suffer this disaster. You have penned a heart breaking account of pain, suffering, trial and helplessness. God be with you all in this difficult time. I too share your belief that all will be well as Ghana Hopes and Ghana will rise again- Insha-Allah (with God's will) .
Wonderful words that are full of hope in this creative and compelling cry for a hurting nation!
Death provokes thought. Souls motivate mind to gain life with safety. This is a thought provoking poem brilliantly penned.10

Hearts are heavy Souls are weary Eyes are blurry This sad refrain touches the heart of everyone who reads this poem! What a tragic incident! Death coming in the form of flood and fire....! Double monsters appearing suddenly and taking the lives of innocents! So many close ones lost their lives! So Ghana weeps for her departed heroes and heroines! But from this crematorium, the country will re emerge like a phoenix bird..... this is what Ghana hopes! A touching write, Abossey!
Oh my god that was very tragic, even hard to imagine as it's sends chills down the spine man with numbness. God bless and may provides all people who suffered strength.
What a heart wrenching incident, what makes me dumb. My heart goes for those helpless people who gathered there to save their lives where they did not know even that it was a grave yard, patiently waiting for them! ! It's a befitting tribute for those lost lives by remembering them through this poignant penning Thank you..

This is heart shearing, the way you portray it. And of course the hope something we Nepalese having faced the earthquake disaster can certainly relate to. Thank you for sharing.
Our condolences to Nepal.... God is still Lord
