Asokoro
Asokoro
The extension of Cross North
The Host to deep pockets
And names with bells
Men and women
Wrapped in red
And a Coral offering
To herald the Lord's birth
Our spirits are lifted
In Asokoro and,
We are prepared
To welcome the Lamb of God
But what happens
To the nameless, pocketless people
In Cross North?
What happens to their spirits
Bereft of carols?
What happens to the near-empty pots
That will ascend the hearth
On the day of our Lord's birth?
What happens to children all wrapped in rags?
