The Life we Live


A little rain falls and dried up stains of blood are washed away
Gunshot rings out and we turn up our music
Shouts of rape and we pretend not to hear it
Life goes on its just another idle child life gone
Politics is the order of the day again till we get a little wake up call
What can you hear or see? When your car class is tinted so darkly
People call out for justice but nothing is done another police man just fire his gun
Then you hear of vision 2030
Ain't nothing wrong with a little hope 
But who will be left here if every other day another child life is taken away
How can you comfort a mother whose child was just killed by the police
How can you comfort a class of students whose teacher was chopped to death on our streets

What about the plan for today?
We can't read lips open up your mouth and let the people know what your about
A leader with no voice?
What good can that do for us?
Poverty is still with us, crime ever present,corruption never leaves us yet nothing is said or done
Comfortable our leaders sleep at night on pillows filled with their empty promises
The tears in the children eyes does nothing to their hearts
What hearts perhaps it has left them
A 14 year old is left to be the man of the house has his father as been missing for years
No education he has so he takes up th gun
The cycle continues the start of another don man

With no dreams for the future
Our children walk by
Sex is a word used more than love and happiness
Grown men watch the little girls from they start to walk
That little gift well wrapped up a treasure for the love of her heart
He invades her body and robs her of it 
Then he rushes home to his wife and kids
When will a change come about for country we call the best
With so many  good things to show the world
Why not start with a little love in out hearts.

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no  conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Be more thankful

It's so easy for us to complain it's like we do it everyday. Are we more thankful for the blessings we have no matter how small they seem? It seems to me that more than ever people are more ungrateful than they are grateful. No matter how bad things are always remember that they could be much worse. Our house isn't big so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a house. Our pay cheque is small so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a job. Our skin isn't flawless so we complain instead of be thankful that we still have our skin to protect our bodies. Our body isn't sculpted perfectly so we complain instead of being thankful that all our body parts are still functioning. Our world is very ungrateful and we can never seem to be satisfied no matter how many blessings we have. This week I ask of you to be thankful for something everyday no matter how small it may seem.

This World

  A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look...
