The pretending mankind

Today, I just feel like sharing my view on several different issues if you feel like sharing your view as well feel free to drop a comment. Am I the only one who notices just how selfish mankind has become? Today, I started to think about how obsessed people have become with material things so much so that they will kill and destroy anyone or anything that stands in their way. I was watching a documentary this morning on how people in Africa are suffering and how thankful they are for some of the simpliest of things. How many times do you complain about not having the simpliest of things? We have come to be a very selfish and ungrateful set of people. When a woman can pretend to love a man just to get tho his pocket shows the lack of respect and she had for herself and the lack of care she has for another soul. When a man can pretend to love a woman just so that he can get to the cookie jar shows the lack of respect and value that he places on women and himself.

 Let me tell your the truth, sometimes I just feel like going in a box and staying in there. At times I am afraid of what mankind will do next. Walking on the street I wonder when will somebody snap and I will be the next victim. When will somebody feel offended by something I have said or none and decided that they have enough of me. The word love is thrown around so much and has become so intertwined with the word hate. It is good to forgive people but we have to think of our safety these days as murder suicides continue to increase around us I wonder at times what could possibly happen in a relationship for a person to kill their lover and themself. What I believe is that some evil force is out there that is taking over the mind of some of the people on our society. People do not respect themselves and when they are confronted will attack you in defense of their carefree attitude and lifestyle.

The future of our world will be filled with bitter and exploited people. People are so angry these days yet they claim to not be concerned about their haters or aren't affected by friendships going sour or fake people. What then is making everybody so angry? Mankind has become so comfortable with pretending. People pretend to love you to get what they want and people pretend to what the best for you Iifr but hate you when you get it. Pretending has sadly become a universal theme. We pretend to love our jobs, we pretend to be enjoying our lives, we pretend that we aren't affected by betrayal, we pretend to have everything in life figured out. We need to stop pretending and make changes to actually start living the life that we pretend to live.

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...

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? 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 ...
