Love Affair

Love Affair 2014
By Saccheen Laing

Have you chosen which path to go in life?
Don't worry it isn't a difficult question or is it?
The love affair strengthened in 2014 
As Digicel and lime continued to fight for our hearts
Thousands switching and call rates fluctuating
Many remained loyal while others fell victim to the attractiveness of free calls
No matter where you turned you felt the heat and passion of the lime and Digicel brawl
Five to ten messages each day, is it love or obsession 
Our hearts lay in a limbo as we choose our path 
Annoyance on one and heartbreak on the other
This love affair is clearly like no other.

PNP and JLP continued to state their claims
Both promising and pleading for a dedicated relationship
The gold diggers who found love with the PNP for promises of wealth and elevated statuses 
Quickly abandoned ship when the waves got rocky and the dollar slipped 
Many where heard complaining about the commitment to the IMF
Some stood firm accepting the threesome way of life
Others felt the competition was too much and found new love interest in the JLP 
What a constant mixup in the love affair of Jamaican politics
Is your heart beating for orange or is it beating for green?
Sweet talk and sweet promises makes this love affair a continued battle
2015 may give us answers in this continues love affair of Jamaican politics.

Is your house on solid land?
This reminds me of the love affair between the NHT and the government 
If you are seeking an example of a bond so strong take a page out of the love story of the NHT and the  government
Questions still being asked about what went wrong but the wife stands still and dares you to wave your hand
She will not be moved as she defends the affair 
The story continues as the trust remains ever so strong
Will the five man board still stand?
Only time will tell what will happen next in the love affair sweeping over our land

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.

This World

  A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look...
