POEM FOR ANAS AREMEYAW ANAS - Keep it up

ANAS!
Anas!
What a gift to mother Ghana?
As selfless as the first president of Ghana,
Dr Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
The power behind your investigative journalism sends us waves of coma.
The length and breadth of the nation has heard of you,
But none has seen you before
Excepting New Crusading Guide's staff.
With disbelief, I always laugh
At your unpredictable and profound capabilities.
O yes like INTERPOL's capabilities.


When US President, Barack Obama was in Ghana at the early stages  of his term,
Your subtle name popped up like how leaves dance their waists on a tree's stem.
The parliament house shook.
O yes it really shook.
Your diminutive stature is not only misleading
But is a deterrent to those feeding
On anything criminal.
The seminal
Fluid that  carried you to your mom's eggs had indeed got guts.
Talking of guts -
Who in Ghana today could risk his life to expose Chinese sex trade in Ghana.
This exploit was almost every media's banner.



Talk of the smuggling of COCOA a t the borders
Your team broke borders
To let the president and the nation and the whole world know better about this menace.
Not to forget about  the CEPS expose - a revelation of a furnace
For burning off Ghana's revenue.
At the CEPS expose, we see how men and women of all ages enjoy the corruption menu
With unbridled and annoying impunity;
To the extent that people indicate which Ghana currency notes they want at the least opportunity.




So when will Ghana get to the status of MALAYSIA, Singapore, South Korea and the rest.
Some of us believe that with the help of journalists like ANAS and the best of the best
Brave investigative journalists - known
And  unknown,
Ghana will reach the promised land
Where all shall stand
Tall enough to be seen wherever we set out feet.
O God, help us achieve this noble feat.
Keep it up, Anas
Aremeyaw Anas.
