The Death of Women

Beautiful skin, soft kisses she brings
A voice that can take the worse pain you feel far far from within

Didn't you have a mother as you grew up? or even a grandmother or sister that loving and protecting was a must

If anyone should stare at them too hard you would jump up and make them feel safe

Then who are the ones who slay the flesh of the young?

Who are those who with death in their eyes part a young child's legs and watch the innocence die

Don't you remember when your mother would kiss you at nights?

Or made sure you had something to wear or eat

Even if you had no mother a woman's touch could do wonders

Respect has left the heart of men

Seems a woman is nothing more than another vessel to invade and conquer

Will it ever stop? The question lingers

Rape is the word that we hear ever so often

These men are weak but are the leaders of our country strong?

Silence they bring as if nothing is wrong

Change we seek but the leaders continue to sit,meet and greet

Men are supposed to protect,love and care for women

Instead, with one rape victim after the other protection turns into fear

Women are the victims but some sit and say nothing as their boyfriend or husband come home with blood stains on their hands

They wash them off and nothing is felt

As those same hands they use after to tuck their children in bed

If we all keep silent,when will it end?

When you rob all the children of their innocence what will the future look like?

Leaders wake up and see that something needs to be done

The Land of wood and water is now a land flowing with innocent blood of our loved ones

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...

Loving a black man that doesn't love me

Image source: Google Images His beautiful dark skin made rich from the earth, his physical strength supporting where I am physically weak, his beautiful smile and then the depth of his speech. In a world where the wrongs that he has done is spoken about more frequently than what is good about him. I see the beauty in black unions,I see the beauty in black souls connecting, I see beauty in being by his side. The issue is, he no longer sees beauty in me. We walk paths these days paved with the broken connections. Couples who once professed to be so deeply in love now pretend to not know each other. We walk paths where you can pour the purest of love into the vessel of a man/woman and they remain empty. On one side, we have black men who believe that black women have lost their worth. They have lost the meaning of what it means to be a Queen. The black man believes that the black woman has wrapped herself in the labels that society has placed on her. The black woman is ofte...
