Take Me Home
By Poet Nazir
Take me home
and tell my family where you saw me
On the streets of Accra
roaming in search of leftovers
and begging for change to survive.
Take me home
and tell my family where you saw me
On the streets of Kumasi
looking pale and skeletoned
Walking barefooted, thirsty and hungry.

Take me home
and tell my family where you saw me
On the streets of Cape Coast
lying nakedly with flies around my mouth
Tell them them (flies) I’ve got no food
That’s the exact thing that killed me.
Take me home
and tell my family how I died
Alone and shamefully
Tell them they can love me now wholeheartedly
They shouldn’t let me suffer twice
They can contribute thousands of cedis
Bid me farewell and finally lay me to rest in peace.
