Time In Conflict: My Poetry Collections With An African Flavor
"The beauty of my poetry is the beauty of my inner self, which is the source of my creativity as a gift to humankind." --Theresa Kwofi--
Time In Conflict My Poetry Collections With An African Flavor was released in April 2008 and it was officially launched on July 25, 2009. This book has come to hold Mother Africa: Thou Art A Continent A Collection Of Essays' hand. In our African thinking, we do not live in isolation, so these two books have come to form a good African Village.
Readers have described my works with words such as, 'Deep' and 'Wow'. Some have burst out into uncontrollable laughter and some have shed honest tears of joy. Some have asked, "so Ms. Kwofi, which one of these poems is your favorite?" Well, each one of them is my favorite for it has come from my inner self and has become a gift of myself to myself and then to you. Deepen your thoughts and grow with my poetry.
SONGS OF MY LEGACY Fall 2006
To leave a mark
To leave a word of sense
To share a laughter
To drown in humor
To say it like it is
To turn dreams
Into doable deeds
To ward off fear of oppression
Fear of want, suppression,
Shun off unnecessary jealousy
Enyikaber bon
Na adwen bon;
Pese me nko me nya
To shun off evil-thinking and deeds
To care for one another deeply
To be a neighbor's keeper
Tsema: Odo mbordo
Be filled with compassion
Tsema: Odo ntsease
All of the above must be my legacy
Should my earthly journey
Come to an end
