Frederick Kwesi Great Agboletey

 

Collegiate Session

 

Look at them

This collection of uncertainties

On a passage through certain courses

Brilliance, darkness and pure wanderlust

A collection of certain uncertainty

Seeking definition in this rambling madhouse, of
Meaning seeking expression

Sharp specificity of consummate particularist

Ruffled mangling of conscientious apostate

Ingested regurgitations of lame obedient

They all have their say

And their presence-

 

Lonely isolation of youth

Seeking for independence freely granted

Huddled groupie in lonely involvement

Vitriolic passion of a vision pursued

In seemingly visionless strait-laced vacuity

When pride of youth blossoms,

Flowery stalk feeble in delicate gaiety

All displaying in their glorious acclamation

In season, albeit but a moment in eternity

A surprised captured in lifting cusp of time

This fluidity of ongoing noesis-

 

Changing times

Reflective patterns as repetitive as a mirror image

Each as different in similarity

As snow flakes indifferent in expressive identity

Grasping portentous knowledge in sweeping flow

In a sudden awakening of innocence lost

 

II

 

My times in your hands,

Your hands in my time

A loose disengagement of fervour subdued in intensity

Prescient grand caretaker in favour

Disfavoured image

My task your livelihood

Your livelihood my indictment

Till from collective acknowledged deception, of

Limited relevance pride discerns consequence-

 

These years cast upon sacrificial altar of putridity

Heaving monumental sarcophagi

Amidst litter of pigs grovelling in pearly nest sullied,

A glitter of brilliance amidst quotidian stain

A light caught in outer edges of dropping water drops

Delicately poised to dissipate

Lightning hope

Blazing hardened fuel caked in cold holders

These holders, your brains that collective mind state shared

Caught in raspy rut, juggled midstream amidst pleasantries of Certainty and things taken for granted, a sudden awakening-

 

This sad lot, this joyous lot

This haze of uncertainty, this glint of hardiness

This meaningless wandering minds,

These surefooted mountain goats,

Keeping a rendezvous with time, and

Some palely defined future,

Sharpening their tools, expansive mind

On this well heeled whetting stones-

 

Arrogant disdain askance

Casting furtive glances at knowledge’s cellar

Some been there, seen some, still discovering

Benign hope of species basking

These monotone shades of toned down colours and emotions,

Occasioned dash of audacity

In sedate collection of individuality

Serenely, coldly miss-stepping with an assurance most provoking

Class, present pride of momentarily joy

Melting away as though setting sun, certain

To re-emerge again and again

Each, varied shade of variegated same,

Each one as dissimilar as previous similar-
