The poem you refer to is called "Songs of Sorrow" by Kofi Awoonor. Kofi Awoonor (1935–2013) was born George Awoonor-Williams in Wheta, Ghana. Besides being a poet, literary critic, and professor of comparative literature, he acted as an ambassador for Ghana.The first stanza of the poem reads:Dzogbese Lisa has treated me thusIt has led me among the sharps of the forestReturning is not possibleAnd going forward is a great difficultyThe affairs of this world are like the chameleon fecesInto which I have steppedWhen I clean it cannot go.*Note: This stanza was found online. I cannot verify whether it is accurate. I have not read this poet.
