Creative Poem’s by Joshua Melchizedek Bawoh a poet from Sierra Leone
- Poem: “A King is born”.
When that King was born, There was a bright star
Which appeared in the sky
Announcing His birth as a right
The wise men of old saw the start
As heavenly choirs sang from the sky!
I knew the story from scripture
I read it to know it’s texture
That a king born is a Creator
That Creator was the Savior
A King was born in lowliness
A Savior appears for forgiveness
His Scepter is meekness
His rule is gentleness
His kingdom is eternal

- POEM: Awareness for Africa.
Oh, Africa! the land,
That is becoming a trash.
Is Africa to shine?
Then, we have to rise.
We settle our dispute nice.
The Intruders appear with lies.
Collecting our compatriots like dice.
And they were used to slice.
They lost Africa in sight.
In chains, they cried for light.
They were treated like rats,
Their asses, they lash.
In returned for their goodness,
T’was then wickedness.
They fought liberty,
They were given opportunity.
The founding fathers of Africa,
Mindful for their life and right.
Proclaimed a forest stage,
That will be crying out for nostalgia.
On their way home, it was nice.
They sang a song of a promise Land.
Off the streams of Africa they draw apace.
Forgetting about the Summer sit’s case.
Oh, Africa! the land of sweetness.
Our forefathers suffered the bitterness.
Sons of Africa are to rise,
To lift up Africa to shine.
Take your identity and discovery,
Swallow the bitterness and try recovery.
Of course, it’s once upon a time story.
It’s over, all t’was sorry.

- Poem:
Human Rights
By: Joshua Melchizedek Bawoh
Every human has a right,
A right to live bright.
Freedom should not be caged.
Let every man do crave.
Abuse of human rights stage,
Every perpetrator pays the wage.
Enough is enough.
Every human must be secured everywhere.
- Poem: Parlant
By: Joshua Melchizedek Bawoh
Dire un not pour changer
Laisse ta parole brise les chaînes
Parler est comme une épée
Dis un not pour ne pas blesser
Attention à ne pas écraser
Changez votre monde avec un discourse
Une parole si puissante aux âmes.
