Are you living?

Are you enjoying the life you are living?
When you wake in the morning are you happy with the current state you are in?
The accomplishments you have are they for you or for those around you?
What gives you joy?
What makes you smile?
Is it the money in your pocket or the hearts you have touched by the things you do?
Is life just about getting by? Or is it about making a difference?
Think about it and please don't lie 
Are you happy with the life you live or are you still asking why?
Why are you here? Why have I chosen this path?

You can accumulate all the wealth and still have a deep void within
Think long and hard and ask yourself am I living for me or for those around me?
Are your parents telling you how to live your life and you are no longer a child?
Don't get me wrong we all need guidance and a helping hand
However, at the end of the day you will have to live with the decisions you have made 
Will you be happy with those decisions then? 
Are you living the life you have always dreamed of?

This world can pull you in many directions and make you reconsider all the plans you have for your life
Take charge,stand firm, it's all in your mind and what you set your mind to you will achieve
Despite the negativity, the hatred in the words from those around you
Do what you know is best for you 
Again I say are you being the best you?
Are you able to smile when you look back at your life
That's all I really want to ask you

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...

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 ...
