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...

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 t...

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 ...
