We against the odds, the odds against us

Diana AKuoko Otu 1996 (Accra)

Free verse
"A scene of crowded odds of life"
Crowding our place of refuge,
A team of tongues spat oceans of detest against the white pinnacle, in quest for their cause. Why can't a seedling have freedom? to grow!
Can they all have a share of life? dushes must stop, we insist !!"
