We lived in freedom


We lived in freedom
Before man appeared:
Our world was undisturbed,
One day followed the other joyfully,
Dissent was never heard.
   Then man broke into our forest
   With cunning and beligerence,
   He pursued us
   With greed and envy:
Our freedom vanished.

                                                                     Traditional Ghanian poem
