I Know A Man
"It is cruel,
That we are granted, the desire to know
But denied how, to do so properly."
~Anonymous.
I know a man
Who got adrift in the ocean
Almost Died of thirst
Though with water all around;
He was unable to drink
I know a man
Who got rejected by the community
Almost Died of loneliness
Though with familiar faces all around;
He was unable to be anyone’s friend
I know a man
Who got accused in his quest for knowledge
Almost Died of Shame
Though with wisdom all around
He was unable to learn
I know a man
Who fought against all odd
Almost lost his dignity
Though with little or no support
He was able to restore his liberty
I know a man
Who often enough,
Extract from me
Few word,
More Sigh, and
Constant, Strange, deep,
productive, creative and
Very good thoughts.
I see from afar’
in this man,
A personality
ready for fulfillment.
A personality
rich in outgoing Emotion
Keenly sensitive-
and attuned to aesthetic,
rather than moral imperative-
A striking form in Life,
at the Point of Ebullient-
Always balancing Passion
against Restraint-
Apparent Simplicity
against Suggested Complexity-
Desire against Despair…

We all almost die
Frustrated;
Of course,
It is the greatest lesson
We have to learn..
When it comes to desire
I know a man
That have walked through fire
Just because of the "Desire to know"
I know a man
Who thought me
How true this proverb is,
That "One’s Honesty, is
One’s Vindication"
"I know a man who falls,
and then rise,
In a bid to step over the brick-wall
He is such a man, of strong will and he’s wise"
~Ola Writes.
I know a man;
I know Sir Oppong Clifford Benjamin.

Sir Cliff…
I found you
Only in that dream-state(facebook)
In which you believe.
I know you
Only in that gold-coast state (Ghana)
In which you lived
In Reality
I do not know you;
But I hope one day, I’m able to find you;
And then, I’ll happily meet you.
Dreams(facebook) for now is where I’ll always find you.
As long as,
Dreams(facebook) don’t come in Pairs.

Of things…
I’ve come to see,
know and recognize in people:
are few distinct but sacred values…
"Courage and Strong will"
You are a special friend,
with such distinct values…
