When you find that which is rare, yet exactly what you have been looking for.When it’s all you wanted, yet too good to be true.When it’s all you think about, but you’d rather not think about it.When it scares you but you still want to touch.Do you run or do you hide?Do you second guess…… Continue reading JUMP

When Prices Go Up After Prices Have Already Gone Up.
This is not a political piece by any means. It is beyond a reasonable doubt that they have used it to inject our eyes*. The quantity of tomatoes worth five Ghana cedis makes me want to scavenge my life away in the wild. Get me my spear and I’ll get to it. While I scavenge,…… Continue reading When Prices Go Up After Prices Have Already Gone Up.
