He sleeps,
With angels.
He sleeps,
So peaceful,
For why not;
He was a man of peace,
The ACTION Man.
He sleeps now,
A victor,
He has won in all,
And even as he sleeps;
He has won Every heart.
So he sleeps.

May his soul rest in peace.
Our condolences to everyone (Ghanaian or not)

Just Write Anything Good: MICROPOETRY: "Hey poetry fans and Geeks in the Greater Accra Region, It is finally here... Write To The World and Open Air Theartre presents to you MICRO..."
Write To The World is glad to present JUST WRITE ANYTHING GOOD, a general platform for all writers. Write To The World is committed to helping spread the “written word”. Writers dream of a platform where their work reaches a host of audiences. They pride themselves in the number of people who read what they write. That is a writer's greatest joy. There are many ways to get one's work to the limelight. The age old platform had been publication of works into books, journals, anthologies, memoirs and so on. That system relied on the physical possession of the writer's book in order to read and know what the writer is saying or wants to say.
The world is fast advancing and now there are hosts of channels which can be employed to have a writers work seen by a large audience. It goes without debate that the internet is one of the biggest platforms which can be employed to easily get to readers worldwide. It is devoid of national, regional and physical boundaries.
Write To The World is capitalizing on this platform to put writers work in the global light. All we are asking you to do is to WRITE. Yes that is all you have to do. Write to your heart's content and we will put it up for the whole world to see, read and give a reaction.
With Just Write Anything Good, our aim is to give all writers the platform for which their works will be displayed for all to see. AS part of the package, we also offer editorial advice to writers whose works will be posted to the Just Write Anything Good blog/site. This our keen responsibility to have writers produce great pieces that are literary speaking flawless.
So what are you waiting for? Just write, send it to us and we will make sure it is seen. To have your work posted on JWAG, simply send as an email of your piece (typed in a word document) to wrightworld@gmail.com or wright_world@yahoo.com. Do include a short bio of yourself and a picture as well. That is all you have to do. Just leave the rest to us.
Visit JWAG at any time to view your piece plus comment on it if you feel the need. After a work is posted, a question is asked and you will be required to answer it and any other question that may be asked concerning the piece. We every good piece. You can explore any writing genre of your choice, be it poetry, memoir, prose, drama, articles and essays. It can even be proverbs, it will be posted.

Haven't you ever felt like putting something new and fresh to the world? The times when you just wish you could tell a new story. Sometimes, you only want to hear a new story. Well here it is. The Rebirth of Ananse. The new story by Kofi Gyamfi Anane-Kyeremeh. Its captivating. You cannot miss it for anything.
Her is a little prelude to the story:
He knew it would rain very heavily but he still left for the forest anyway. His wife, who was heavily pregnant and nearing her time of birth begged him to stay home. Outside, thunder clouds and heavy winds were making their way to nowhere in particular. He got his machete which he had spent close to an hour and half sharpening on the black stone that stood in the centre of his compound. He also unhooked his long-barrelled gun usually called ti abofre in the local language. He slung it over one shoulder with the barrel facing upward.
“I won’t be long” he said, trying to hurry out of the house.
There is more. Just watch out for the latest Story about Kweku Ananse.
“I don’t want you to go at all” she protested.
“And I said I won’t be long. The weather isn’t looking any good. If I don’t hurry, I might lose my catch. I have to go,” he insisted.
“Please do not. You can wait till the morning of tomorrow. You might even displease the abosum (gods),” she continued to plead.
“Don’t be so difficult woman!” he almost shouted. She shrank into the corner where she was sitting. “I am losing valuable time by standing here and arguing with you. I will see you by evening” he said.
“Be careful” she whispered as he walked out of the room, pushing the raffia mat that served as a curtain at the door. He stopped in the doorway, turned and looked at her. A smile crossed his face and he turned and left. That was the last time she was him.
*****************
The baby started to move its body on the matted floor. Afua quickly bent down and picked up her baby—her first baby. Afua looked her baby over and realised she’d given birth to a boy. He did not open his eyes but started to cry. Instinctively, she brought him up to her chest, freed one of her breast from her wrapper and offered it to her son. The little boy opened his mouth wide and capped it around the nipple and begun to suck hungrily.
I will give to you what I have. I will make you mine. You shall be a part of me. Little soft thing on my chest, fill your life with my love. I will cover you with friendship and you do not have to be alone. Your smile will be my smile, your joy—my joy. And when you have to cry, you don’t have to do it alone. I will cry with you. I only ask for one thing. Stay with me until I leave you. Do not let me be alone. Stay with me.
As the baby drank to his fill, Afua kept staring at him and smiling. Her very own. She also couldn’t help noticing that her son looked exactly like his father, whom he’ll never see. He had the lips of his father, and so with his eyes.
“You have come in two ways, my son. I lost and yet I won” Afua said to her son. “If only—if only. He was stubborn, you know. Very stubborn. Now I have you and I never want to lose you. Promise me you’ll stay with me all my life, promise.” As she said those words, her baby made a gurgling sound deep in his throat almost as if in affirmative reply. “I Love You!” Afua said and begun to rock her baby.

Two things. Distance and loneliness. Two things. Readiness and acceptance. Two things. An expanse and a being Two things. Time and existence. Two things. Love and pain. Two things. Star and the Beast. Two things. You and Me. Two things joined, and hail this That a beast will fall in love With those little dots above And cherish in his heart within Pure love that lurks still; But, two things still Day and Night.
What beast awaits That there shall be a sky quake And those dots up above Shall fall down on him That he may love completely, With his whole existence. Two things. Night and stars. Two things. Here and now. To people: Star and the beast.
