| Paratext Text | I gcuimhne an Ghinearáil Khotoka as Ghana |
| Notes | This poem commemorates the death of Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka, the military general who overthrew the first democratic government of Ghana. He was considered a national hero of Ghana and was killed in an abortive coup d'état in 1967, the year after his own coup. In this poem, the speaker laments his death, highlights his good qualities in terms of pure heroism, and underlines their own personal feelings about his death - describing themselves as heavy-hearted as a result of the general's killing. |
