COASTAL EROSION RIDE

The Sea Eats Our Lands - Kwesi Brew

Here stood our ancestral home:
The crumbling wall marks the spot.
Here a sheep was led to slaughter
To appease the gods and atone
For faults which our destiny
Has blossomed into crimes.

There my cursed father once stood
And shouted to us, his children,
To come back from our play
To our evening meal and sleep.
The clouds were thickening in the red sky

And night had charmed
A black power into the pounding waves.

Here once lay Keta. 
Now her golden girls
Erode into the arms
Of strange towns.
