Quotes about region, page 3
For my part, I make this pledge to all of you: The politics of division, of pitting east against west, urban versus rural, region against region, and people against people will have no place in my Administration.

But this is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants.

Scope of time
I who write
Shall have long since gone away
Into the region of shadows
And those who read
Are among the living
Strange things happen
Through the centuries
Flasks of aged wine
Stand waiting to be drunk
The wine cannot quench your thirst
You become a small particle
In the scope of time
The region is a shadow
Light and darkness meet
And do battle.

Forever Feeling
Store a feeling forever by learning it for the brain,
This brain you carry learns faster than others.
My favours are concrete, excelling others,
They show you the way home, and beyond.
Beyond our leisure they are feelings to treasure,
Like golden ornaments, like jewels and magnets.
The feeling to keep lies beneath, beneath the island,
This region I store in my youth, so emotions destroy
The region, that little island in my younger years.
Store the feeling of youth once you are old,
Then old ways are confirmed, old ways are learnt afresh.

The Brass Monkey
We live on in
separate salient
parallel lives.
After forced final
silent thundering
non-communicative
goodbyes.
Andrea’s so extreme
weekend winter
tenting biking.
At annual winter
Brass Monkey
rally biker met.
Engines roar
friends ride
roaring off together.
Road embracing
to rally partaking

Darest Thou Now, O Soul
DAREST thou now, O Soul,
Walk out with me toward the Unknown Region,
Where neither ground is for the feet, nor any path to follow?
No map, there, nor guide,
Nor voice sounding, nor touch of human hand,
Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips, nor eyes, are in that land.
I know it not, O Soul;
Nor dost thou--all is a blank before us;
All waits, undream'd of, in that region--that inaccessible land.
Till, when the ties loosen, 10
All but the ties eternal, Time and Space,
Nor darkness, gravitation, sense, nor any bounds, bound us.

Sneaking Body
Fluttering heart really uncontrollable,
Weakening mind totally unbearable,
Sneaking body works on its own,
When the rationality is disowned,
stealing of something,
belongs to someone:
someone's money,
someone's spouse,
someone's peace,
someone's territory,
someone's oil,
someone's toil,
And we do our first mistake in particular,
Everyone feels the same,
And we never bother that shame,
continue with lame,
thousands of documents,
to support the lying flame.
Documents of hard, hardcore,
Documents of soft, software.

Seasonal Birds and rejected refugees
Crossing borders
Breaking rules
Flying birds
Having a hope of life
Entered into their kingdom
Where the freedom is
From region to region
And season to season
Singing and flying
Enjoy the immigrant life
No one ask from where they come
Fruits and nectar warmly welcome
Immense sky freedom to fly
Differentiated man question why
Crossing borders secretly
Violate rules willingly
Creating stories so strongly

A Bird that lives forever
A geless and deathless Paliel vulture
One of African vulture species that
Lives in jonglei region of Sudan
Lives beyond any bird life span
When it bird life span finish
It stops to eat and drink
It plumes plummeted naturally
Until it come skinny
It start to metamorphoses
The beak, the legs grow soft fleshy
The body transform into battled slender creature
The two legs become small soft tails
The two wings become small fins
It gradually become an African youngest cobra
And again goes on living as snake beyond
Any snake lifespan in jonglei region.
When it become old, aile and about to die
It stops to eat and drink
It flake it dry scally-skin off
And become skinny

In The Brong Ahafo Region
My friend Cain lives in'Tain',
But this is in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana;
And like the same scenatio in putting Professor John Evans Atta Mills into power.
Change came to Ghana to meet all of us one day,
But we have to iron out our differences to move the country forward.
7th December,28th December and 2nd January reminds us of the closeness of the elections;
However, Professor John Evans Atta Mills was sworn in into power!
And mathematically correct to bring back the NDC into power.
I had this dream long time ago! !
And to the 'Tain' Constituancy to greet my friend;
For the voting numbers from that area changed everything,
Despite the questionable figures produced from the Ashanti Region.
The writings were very clear on the walls,
And it was time for a change;
But in a land where polities are played on a rivalry bases between the NPP and the NDC,
And this dream that i saw was all that came and past!
For today, the NDC is back again after eight years in opposition.
