As the 2019 AFCON builds its momentum for a good start, many Ghanaian have thrown their weights behind the gallant Ghana Black Stars with a strong believe that, they will bring home the trophy which has eluded them for long—in celebration of the Year of Return.
Among the many Ghanaians are the Creative artistes. One of such is the multi-award winning young Ghanaian poet & Spoken word artiste—Oswald Okaitei—who collaborated with his trainee—young Euodia Attram—to present “GO BLACK STARS; GO AND GLOW!” written by Oswald Okaitei.
This poetry Spoken word piece is a plea and inspiration to the Black Stars and was edited by Saani Hallil with videography by Chris Tsikata.
Lines of the Original poem:
Go Black Stars,
Go and glow; go Black Stars and score the goals!
Prove your
Patriotism on the field of play
And send shocks
Down the spines of your critics & foes
Go Black Stars,
Go and glow; go Black Stars and score the goals!
Keep going
Till you end our long overdue catastrophe &
Prove to the world
That you deserve that trophy!
Set upon
Our weary faces unending smiles
And give pride
To the many Ghanaians who watch you across several miles
Go Black Stars,
Go and glow; keep soaring
Till you tell
A story worth your glory
Prove the strength
That lies within the Ghanaian feet
And shine & sparkle
For you are our gallant stars!
Go Black Stars;
Go and glow, go Black Stars and score the goals!
We eye for your victory
& long for your glory
Awesome as gods
Of the pitch, let your rainbow spread across the skies
Go Black Stars,
Go and glow; go Black Stars
And unleash
Your socceristic blow
Go Black Stars,
Go and glow; go Black Stars
And return
With the trophy!
