The Middle Nowhere
Ebenezer Ayidana 1995 (Kumasi)
The middle nowhere
Is where many dwell
They see mediocrity
As being half-way there.
Life has no fence
It is either here or there
Many are here
A multitude so dense.
The middle nowhere
Is the average nobody
All desire to be
Few get to be rare.
Stardom is for few
Not of privilege
But sweat and blood
For many, this is past due.
The middle nowhere
Murders your potential
Run now to stardom
Please, choose to dare.
