The blind,deaf and dumb leaders of Jamaica

Firstly, let me point out that I am in no way making a mockery of the blind, deaf and dumb community of Jamaica. What I am strongly addressing at the moment is the state of present day Jamaica and how I currently feel about those who I have to depend on to make the best decisions for us the people. Our leaders do listen to the people but only when election time is approaching, when election comes and goes they become blinded to the tears of the people.

Have you ever stop to look at the posture of the leaders of other countries when they sit to discuss the affairs if their nation? They are upright, they are bold and confident. Take a look at the leaders of our country when they are making decisions,they argue about whose parts compared to whose parts, they sleep, they chew bubble gum they are as far as possible from the idea of professionalism. I will forever remember when the Prime minister stated that she doesn't watch the news because she doesn't want to hear what they are saying about her. Simply put, she blocks out the perfect outlet to hear the concerns of her people, she remains deaf to the cries of the country.

Our prime minister is known to be the lover of the poor people. Based on how I see she behaves towards the people I think the word love has lost all meaning. When you love someone you do what you can to ensure that their best interest is your number one concern and you communicate with the people. Kissing children and dancing on stagein front of a selected few is not reaching out to the people it's just gaining political points.

My recommendations are that our aging leaders step down and give the young people an opportunity to show what they can do. Our leaders need to learn how to communicate with the people. Let us know what is going on and what we can expect,show some form of interest in the people who put you in the positions you are currently fighting over.

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...
