The Woman

Sexy dresses, designer suits, expensive hair, golden shoes
Pointy finger nails, painted faces,bottoms evidently swaying as they walk
The woman has an image she tries to maintain each and everyday
Its in her hair, its in her clothes, its in her shoes its in her pose
Why isn't it in her voice or in her words??
The woman is beautiful and brightens up the world
The woman is beautiful and adds darkness to the world
The woman is scared, silent, weak and confused
The woman wants a change in the world but she falls prey to the evil in the world
The woman is loyal
The woman is disloyal
The woman stands by her man and guides him on the right path
The woman stands by her man and plans his way to doing evil
The woman calls the man a dog for his wicked ways towards women
The woman feeds the dog his bones and pets him and hugs him when he cries out for forgiveness
The woman has so much worth
The woman sits aside and accepts abuse the woman has lost her worth
The woman is smart she can be the best at anything she puts her hand to
The woman is foolish she gives up her education to help her man shine
The woman is religious she know God comes first
The woman is ungodly she puts God aside to keep the man she loves
The woman is peaceful
The woman brings forth war when she sits aside and allow her child to pick up the gun
The woman is a proud Jamaican
The woman destroys Jamaica when she washes the bloody clothes of her husband
The woman is gentle when she rocks her child to bed at night
The woman is rough when she sends her girl child to be pimped out by the area don
The woman is loving when she works hard to put food on the table
The woman is filled with hate when she she runs off with a man who promises her house and land and leaves her children behind
The woman is your mother, your sister, your grandmother, your niece, your friend
The woman is who I am today and who you hope to be

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...
