There once was a girl & boy who lived in Charolette Lane The woman was gracious as ever As she embraces her beauty Her greatness in her skin Her knots in the locs of her hair She rides alongside her man Seeing him & Seeing his reflection She begins to stare at his soul All of the hurt and all the pain The universe moves faster The air pushes faster Brushes her away God willing she wants to glide with him But can’t leave her daunting past As time knocks on her door ever single damn time like an overfull sock drawer She wants to move She wants to run with him But she can’t because he must love the two of her He must decide if he wants two of her not half Slice a peer in half and give her one But finish both and you have ate the seed of life We join together as one but we live separate in the temple He loves her just the way she is but finds faults in everything she does even though he loves her effortlessly Your hair Is like a BRAIDED antenna touching the universe. Your hair is made to fly The best way to speak to God We were created We are one We are love We are one but separate in the temple a poem by Africancreature

Students tour the Elmina castle on Republic Day, 2017.

The Elmina Castle, unlike the Cape Coast one, was originally built for trade in gold and other goods. It was when slavery became more lucrative than gold, that its purpose was redefined.

It stands today as a testament to human greed and how vicious a soul poisoned by greed can be as it pursues its selfish interests.
