Saddened and surprised at the sudden demise of Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, stage name—Ebony, Graphic Online’s journalist, Zadok Kwame Gyesi has written a poem in tribute to the dancehall artist.
Titled: “To the Ebony who Reigned”, the poem talks about the vagueness of life and the pain it leaves behind.
The five stanza poem celebrates the “short lived” life of the enterprising artist.
Below is the full poem.
To the Ebony who Reigned
Life’s a mirage
Vanishes like slippery air
In the hands of those who hang on
It’s a mystery kept in the hidden deeps of the unknown
