MAKER’S CALL

Men of Gratis
Hats off,Torso lowered,Fist clenched,A graceful bow, our lady. Through the lens of a camera,Lays bare the nature of a person,Leaving room for admirers and critics.

The Gunman
By Richil E.A Mawuenyega The justice we seek for The Gunman, resonates as the masked man, who creeps in at odd hours and points a loaded gun at a person, compelling him or her to surrender personal properties or to leak vital information, which he or she would ordinarily not have.The law reports in Public …
Joseph, on the other side
Written by Richil E.A Mawuenyega Arrest made upon allegations, J.B. Danquah. So hard a battle we fought to come out of slavery, only to enslave one another.Fairness was ruled out,When the white man held on to the whip.Fairness was just,When the black man, unleashed his stripes.
