A Poem on Ghana

By Maghen Quadrini, West Africa Global Health volunteer

Warm in more ways than oneStarting from dawn to dusk sits the sun

The busy markets people do travel near and farWalking and biking – no need for a car

The wash is done daily by handFragile fingers wash away the tender remnants of land

The light though seldom shines through the nightWhether or not there will be water is tomorrow’s plight

A passion for life and what one decidesThe people of Ghana stand tall with pride

Strong and elegant with poiseSounds of freedom, simplicity and happiness – anything but noise

No doubt in mindTime is no bother but rather something to confide

People hustle and bustle on the streets they goAgomacha – we will all flow

Exploring Ghana’s natural landscape
