This poem is a window of generosity through which we can look into some of the baseless, reasonable, credible and ridiculous arguments that have psychological and spiritual influence on humanity.

During my Advance Level education, I studied myths in West African Traditional Religion.16 years on, I can barely remember any of the theories. So in the face of similar motive, may I quote Donald Rumsfeld who once said: "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know"

Whichever category of 'known' and 'unknowns' we choose to place the traditional stories within our reach, it does not deny their moral and entertainment value. Just like the tales of Ghanaian origin, there are many world written super-reasons, super-poofs, and superstitions that confuse us - more than they can convince. For that record, I agree we should "tell the tales... for the lack of knowledge". But let us re-examine the rationale behind them, if we will.

When you visit my blog, you will see a lot of changes - over a period of 4years. I have dismounted a Pamela Roberts photograph (of myself) I propped on the home page, replacing it with an erection of how black I wish I was: a busty art I copied from Google Images. The template background has changed from white to yellow, to grey. Several other additions and deletes. Yet I have kept the gadget that links Novisi's blog. My loyalty can be simply explained:

Novisi Dzitrie is a writer whose literature has the flair to attract obsessive public admiration. His wits are so sharp, and his imagery so refined.

If Christopher Hitchens (the late English journalist) is different from Dzitrie, the contrast lies in the fact that Hitchens is an atheist who went too far to author the book, 'God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything'. And, if Hitchens is similar to Dzitrie, the comparison lies in the fact that both are writers with wisecracks.

Welldone Novisi. I will keep reading your works.
