Jamdung


The news comes on one,two, three lives gone again in a Jamdung
Twelve dead in Mobay everybody worried 
Uncles,aunts,brothers and sisters  everybody fall victim 
Police have no answers,politicians drive by just another day in Jamdung
After 5 gone you walk fast on the road
Sweat pours down your face as you hear the first gun shot ring out
Hands firmly placed on your heart as you hear the screams and shout
People around you walk by as if nothing is wrong how comes nobody cares about crime in Jamdung?

Children going missing everyday but we turn our faces the other way
Then suddenly your sister is gone for days and you don't know what to do
All of a sudden you see the faces of the girls you turned your face from
Then it finally hits you crime is serious in Jamdung

A text comes in on your phone saying congrats you have won
You run to the bank to collect your millions
Couple hours later your bank book is empty 
Tears flow from eyes as you ask yourself why?
When will they stop the crime in Jamdung?

Election time is here and you are ready to vote for your party
Cars stop at your gate, hands appear,thousands of dollars for a vote 
You collect and vote for the one with the most money to float your boat
Election passes and you are hungry,no work only empty promises
Then you stop to wonder when the crime ago stop in Jamdung?

You are at a party and a guy approaches you
Words are exchanged before you know it he slips something in your drink
Couple sips later he walks away with your innocence 
You stop and cry out when the crime ago stop in Jamdung?

Families without fathers,mothers and daughters
Children hands stained with blood after crawling in their parents blood
Fear in the eyes of the people 
Yet their lips are sealed as to who is the killer
Nobody wants to talk 
Then they stop to wonder when the crime ago stop in Jamdung?

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.

TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz Prizes

The buzzer ignited the excitement in my veins for many years. I grew up watching TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz and I saw it as a means of once again unifying the nation through friendly rivalry. As the years rolled by things started to change and the blatant favouritism could be seen coming from our television screens. The power of some of the more prominent high schools would allow them to end up in the winning circle. Apart from the fun element turning into some what of a war each year, what has changed drastically is the awarding of the various prizes at the end. Throughout the years we could expect to see students from some of the participating schools coming forward to collect their various prizes at the end of the competition. We looked forward to hearing what the students would be awarded for their hard workout throughout the season. Apparently, this was deemed to be too much of a problem to broadcast so it was eliminated completely. All we see now is the winner collecti...
