*Title: “From Colonial Lines to Penalty Lines”*
England robbed Ghana!
From colonial days… to the football field!
They drew lines on maps with rulers…
Then they drew lines in the box and called it “no penalty”!
Yesterday it was gold, timber, cocoa taken by force.
Today it’s a clear contact in the box… denied by a whistle.
Yesterday it was “civilize us” with chains.
Today it’s “VAR can’t see it” with cameras!
When will England stop robbing Ghana?
When does the taking end… and the playing begin?
FIFA! FIFA!
We hear you talk “Fair Play”…
But fair play needs a fair carpet!
Lay it flat for ALL nations!
Not just for those who wrote the history books…
Also for those who bled writing the story with their feet!
Ghana didn’t come to beg.
We came to play!
Black Stars don’t shine by permission.
We shine because we burn!
So blow the whistle for justice!
Call the penalty for truth!
Respect where we’re coming from…
Africa! With drums in our chest and fire in our boots.
From colonial days to penalty boxes…
No more robbery!
No more excuses!
Just 90 minutes…
One ball…
One world…
One fair game!
Ghana vs England?
We’re ready!
Not for revenge…
But for respect!
FIFA, lay the fair carpet.
Let every flag stand tall.
Let every goal count the same…
Whether it’s scored in London, or in Accra!
Stop the robbery.
Start the game.
