ORIGINAL LETTER TO GODPostbox

Letter to God: Lord, Ehn we long been looking for Prezzo, we will balance

Bussi Quarter na turn to New York, West Point da Miami Beach, Monrovia da Miami, River Gee da Georgia, Bassa da Philadelphia- yor will balance.

De man say he na transformed de entire country-Rehab Community na turn to Sinkor-puaah.

Ehn yor long been looking for President, yor will balance-Yor jus be dere. Jus wait, yor na see development yea sef. RIA na turned to JFK.

Dis time wen you geh in taxi and you going down Broad Street jus tell de driver you are stopping downtown  Martin Luther King Avenue-Phew!

Bor wait oo, he forced to lie?

You, yor sef too ya Fahter, how de man will na lie wen da so, so stupid pepo in our village-even de one dem weh living outside our village sef na get sense to know da our village going backward? See dem with their white teeth dem as if dey na get internet-stupid pepo.

Leh be dere believing da Monrovia na turned to New York, wen de once beautiful Bluffing Street and Crown Hill Road na turned to a rundown street, where Kehkeh and Pen-pen boys dem go to wash dem penpen and kehkeh.

Imagine Father, wen de Prezzo can tell pepo in Uncle Sam’s Village da he na developed Monrovia to be Miami. Imagine wa he will tell our pepo in de village next time he run dere for campaign. -We inside.

They say no rice in de country, he say don’t mind dem, da street talk- rice all over de place they can’t see. Only for the pepo from de Traditional Council to call de rice seller dem de next day to ask dem wa going on.
