Hello!!
I am Poetyk Prynx. Growing up, I have always wanted to be an engineer but now I am a lover of art, a writer, a poet, a spoken word artiste, an artivist, a creative and a content creator.
Sometimes, I play the sax๐
This is a thread of all my works!
Check it out! Rt ๐
This is the current state of my mumโs provision store which is because:
1. We canโt afford retail prices of the things in the market now
2. The little we get from it, we spend on drugs, scans, tests, and trips to hospitals. Do I even need to mention utility bills?
So I managed to put money together to complete this cold store room my dad started for mum. (she is now finding out and she wants to fight me ๐๐๐๐)
Today the labourers are in to start. I want I cry. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
The overpricing at Kant is thanks to those online thrifting stores who go there get stuff and sell it at outrageous prices
Most of the traders there caught a whiff of that scheme and have decided they want in on it as well.
And itโs true, thrifting at Lapaz is cheaper now
As someone who started with a second class upper, touched the hems of first class, then plunged into second class lower in final year, itโs really not all the time that people with low grades are unserious.
Chale, you people really need to be kind during conversations like this.

After my national service, the school I was teaching at wanted to retain me.
However, they said I will have to be patient because it will take a while for them to get my name on governmentโs payroll, at least 6months, maximum 2years.

Bigoo Cola is actually versatile.
When chilled;
gulp it down as fast as you can, if you want the taste of coca cola.
Otherwise drink it leisurely, if you prefer the taste of Pepsi.
if you want the bigoo Cola taste, drink it at room temperature
I feel so hurt that the police were more composed with actual hooligans but treated peaceful demonstrators like criminals.
They were so rough with us and didnโt even bother to hear us out.
And our president, a human rights lawyer, has been quiet.

My mumโs faith in my innocence is so adorable.
She keeps asking which bad company have I joined that Iโm dying my hair and eye brows.
Ma, itโs me. Iโm the bad company that people are joining oooo.
And has it hit you people that Trotro is almost a luxury now?
Some people have to cover a certain amount of distance on foot to another bus stop before picking a car because thatโs what they can afford
As unbelievable as it sounds, itโs happening.

Dadโs demise hit us all hard but I always think of his Autistic younger brother who was so close to my dad. My dad was the only one who โgetsโ him. he was really heart broken.
A week after the news came, He went to sleep on 10th December and didnโt wake up. He wasnโt unwell
So last year November Dad left, then three days later, his younger brother went to bed and didn't wake up(I keep saying he couldn't handle the heartbreak)It's been tough

For real tho, if someone asks for your friend's contact, the most decent thing to do is talk to your friend first to see if they are okay with it before you hand out the number.
Not just phone numbers, sensitive information too. Stop placing people in difficult positions
Aggrieved customers of the now-defunct Gold Coast Fund Management company have converged at the Finance Ministry to demand the release of their locked up funds.

And also, donโt forget that you lined up women in the front when we were marching to

Hope we will all have this same energy when itโs time to protect them especially from patriarchy, sexism and misogyny
Hi, it's Prince again.
It's been almost two weeks of crowd funding and the love has been amazing.
This came in and I do think it will be a perfect way to buy myself enough time to reach my goal for the MFA tuition fee as I'm nowhere near the goal at the moment.

I need to do my homework properly but Ghana hasnโt particularly involved people with disabilities in most of its policies.
And the system has been a bit sinister and unkind to them.

Sometimes,
when darkness
falls on us we forget
how full of light
we actually are.
Sometimes,
We forget that
as humans we
do cry too because
we spent half the time
trying to breathe and
survive.
Sometimes,
We could all
use some reminders.

While we were confined in the cell, at some point I started feeling funky.
I requested an officer to inquire with my friends outside for a book to anchor my thoughts.
Instead, she refused and gave me a book titled along the lines of"HOW TO STOP LIVING A LIFE OF SIN,"

Today Iโll be able to pay the bills at home, restock the shop and send pocket money to my younger siblings and be peacefully broke.

A month ago today, we were treated like criminals and thrown into cells
I donโt think Iโve been able to fully process that day.
I remember feeling โdefeatedโ and it was such a sulky feeling.
And I remember feeling scared 6 hours later after being locked up.
When we were rounded up at the regional police headquarters, one of the officers, while pointing at me with his mouth, told a fellow officerโhe is one of themโ in twi.
My nails were painted, my hair is dyed green, my beard is dyed earth brown and I had dangling earrings on
