The Expatriate
by Peter Addo
http://home.roadrunner.com/~osofo
African by birth, urbane, yet casual
Royalty by blood, literate, yet colloquial
One can attribute it to all sorts of things
A Scholar by avocation;
Yet believer in the tradition of the elders
An alien in a strange land
It never sounds glorious to me
Of diverse intellectual passion,
Each word becomes past
Such is the polluted air of life:
It surrounds and engulfs
Stumbling and incoherent even to myself
Two people encased in one soul
An alien; squeezing essential meaning
Each day into a divided life.
Sophisticated; yet nonchalant
From Moscow to London, and from Washington to Bonn
Now he is free, but is he really?
One half never equals the other
Forever an alien in a strange land.
The Expatriate by Peter Addo

Despite disputes over an
election result, Ghana is still a success story
The Economist, Dec 14, Ghanadot
- In Ghana’s presidential and parliamentary elections,
decided on December 7th, the arguments were not about
ideas but about the results. The incumbent, John Mahama,
won by a whisker, with 50.7% of the vote. His opponent,
