Ghana @ 60: a Poem written by Emmanuel Kwaku Dei Nuamah on March 4, 2017

In the Decade ago you stood before us as GOLD But now you are standing before us as DIAMOND You have made us who we are today And you helped your equals to be emancipated Now at 60 you are shining like a DIAMOND Through your illustrious son Kwame Nkrumah Independence spread like wildfire in Africa Through your noble son Kofi Anan The World was once ruled with equity And through your visitation with Nelson Mandela He was imprisoned for the liberation of South Africa Oh Ghana at 60 .
