I was born in the Voice of poetry

I Was Born in the Voice of Poetry by Obed Yadzo I was born in the voice of poetry— a rhythm deep as mother’s prayer, a whisper carved from Ghana’s dust, Volta's breath, Ghana's flare. My cradle was a stanza’s edge, my poem, a line set free to unlock the prison gate Ink was milk; the page, my kin— from the start, I learned to see. I learned from him, my mentors voice , and he that was in me I have the story—not just mine, but of those whose names were never heard, the market women, the silent sons, the dreamers drowned in empty words. I was born , trained, and now bold to fight I suffrage not in silence, but in verse that holds their cries, for I have walked where shadows bloom, and dared to lift the skies. My future roars today because my past echoes in me, reminding me of the ages that I cannot really tell The struggle of the men is mine— the weight of hope, the push, the grind. Their calloused hands, their sleepless nights, are lines I etch between each rhyme. This is Obed—scribe of soul, storykeeper, truth untold. I don’t just write—I bear, I build, a world reborn through words bold. So let the world stand still and hear— not noise, but grace, not pain, but light. For I was born in the voice of poetry, and through its fire, I write. Don't rush to race 'him' Cos he has come not to reign Grandma, 🥰 🥰 🥰. Obed Yadzo remembers that once the sun rises, there's hope for a change.

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉 to myself.

Today, I Dance with Time by Obed Yadzo Today, I dance with time in light, A candle crowned in morning bright, The winds may age my skin with grace, But youth still sparkles in my face. A year verse for 23 vast land I wear the years like royal gold, With stories whispered, brave and bold— Each wrinkle is a song I’ve sung, Each heartbeat keeps me wild and young. A year verse for 23 vast land So raise a glass, let laughter flow, Let birthday joy like rivers grow— I’m not just older, I’m refined, A masterpiece in progress, signed A year verse for 23 vast land

The Word Still Speaks

The Word Still Speaks — A Spoken Word Piece

I remember when Grandma whispered verses like lullabies into the cracks of my soul. When the Bible wasn’t just a book— it was breath. Bread. Battle cry. Back then, the Word of God wasn’t silent. It spoke— in the tears wept at altars, in the hush of midnight prayers, in the strength it gave when life screamed unfair. I’ve seen pages turn like seasons— from Genesis to Revelation, from broken to breakthrough, from wandering to home. And still— still it speaks. See, the Word of God is not just ink on scrolls or leather-bound theology. It’s thunder wrapped in mercy. It’s fire in the bones of prophets, and peace in the palms of the weary. It’s the "Let there be light" that shattered darkness then— and still shatters darkness now. It’s the Psalms sung in pain, the Proverbs that shaped my mind, the Gospels that carried me when I couldn’t carry myself. Oh, I've clutched it like a lifeline when the waves came too high. Spoken it through clenched teeth when the storm would not pass. Because when the world is chaos, when my faith is a flicker— the Word stands still. Unmoved. Unshaken. Alive. Sharper than sorrow. Stronger than silence. Sweeter than honey from the rock. It speaks in hospital rooms. In prison cells. In the back pew where you think you’ve gone too far— it whispers, “You are still mine.” It’s not just ancient text. It’s present truth. Living Word. Breathing hope. So to the weary heart, to the one holding on by a verse— don’t let go. Because His Word never returns void. It plants. It pierces. It promises. And it never forgets your name. The Word of God is not just what was said. It’s what is still speaking. And beloved— It’s speaking to you now.

Lilbed Wordweave strikes again with Obed Yadzo's newest Tale "The Mirror That Knew Too Much" In a village wrapped in fog and whispers, there stood an old wooden house with a mirror no one dared to touch. They said the mirror could talk—but only to those brave enough to ask it the truth. No one believed that anymore. Except Yoma, a quiet girl with ink-stained fingers and a wild hunger for stories. When she found herself inside the old house during a storm, she stared into the mirror and whispered, "Who am I really?" The mirror shimmered, rippled, and spoke. "You are not just who they see. You are who you choose to become. But beware—choosing comes with a cost." From that night on, Yoma could hear other people’s truths when they spoke. Not their lies or their masks—their buried, aching truths. It made her powerful. It made her lonely. And it made her stories so real, they could heal... or destroy. Now Yoma writes with ink darker than night, and her readers swear her words know them better than they know themselves. Some say her tales are magic. Others say they’re curses in disguise. All we know is this: Obed Yadzo has written again. And the mirror is watching.
