No more tears



Our tears flow into the sea that surrounds our nation
We cry out loud but the hatred and selfishness around deafens the sounds
My mother cries over my body while you change the station
Three of us killed in a week this is nothing but a bloody nation
All I hear is how I am the future of my island but presently I'm fighting to be a better human
You don't see my struggles, you don't feel my pain my tears are bursting through my fragile veins
I am a child, my mother and father are my guide
But I am a child of this nation a child who needs help, help to find a new light a new direction
I cry, I cry, I cry it does nothing but fall to the ground
A day or two later and so called words of comfort are echoed from the leaders microphones
What happens next?
Life goes on
Till another one of my friends is gunned down and a mother cry out
No more tears I want to cry
No more tears for my mother,father or my friend

The whole nation needs an awakening
Bills and bills and bill and bills
The issue of crime still lingering  on as innocent lives are snatched out at will
No more tears I want my mother to cry as she wipes up blood
No more tears I want my mother to cry as she clothes us
No more tears I want  my mother to cry as she feeds and bathes us

The nation has grown cold
Heartless men and women walk on our roads   bodies with souls that have been sold
Mother kills her baby, son kills his father, friend kills her friend just a recap of a day in the bloody nation Jamrock
When political issues are at hand our leaders stand firm like an army
When innocent people are killed they curl over and stare like a helpless baby
No more tears should our people have to cry
No more tears let our rivers run dry
Shaking bodies of our children as they can't understand why
Why they have no mother or father  to hug them and say it'll be alright
Bloody hands of the killers washed in the tears we cry
The land of wood and water
The land of blood and tears

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.

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? Street lights come on at night and our window lids we shut tight tight No kids on the street, no time to meet and greet Why can't we no longer walk at nights? Why we don't have no peace? Police men guard the streets  Kids run quickly pass them not sure if they police or just undercover gunman and thief Thousands complete their university education but student loan awaits them in every gleaner publication Jamaica is such a beautiful nation, nice food and nuff happiness and sweet jubilation Wait a moment and turn the  TV off the international station Turn the dial to our local station No more happiness and sweet jubilation Blood flowing in the streets of poverty and ever increasing destruction You have the answers? Tell us how we need a change in politics Five years time and we still have the same corruption  You tell me to smile because better must come I ...
