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?  Ar

 So many things are on my mind as I write this and I just have to share them with you. I am concerned about the future of Jamaica. My blog is entitled The Voice of Jamaica and I will continue to share my opinions about my nation.When I journey into Kingston each day from Spanish Town I often take in my surroundings and evaluate people and buildings. Factories standing firm  but empty,lack of activity, while homeless people turn them into shelter. What if these factories were back up and operation?instead of these homeless people using it as a place to sleep at night they could use it as a source to generate an income and build a home of their own. It's that time of year when graduation pictures start to surface and everybody is so proud of their achievements. However, on the back of these beautifully framed images are a list of debts that these young minds will have to pay before their names are placed in the gleaner and on social media sites. So much time is spent  on sellin

Mother's Day Who was the one to hold you when your little feet couldn't go on? Who was the one to correct you when you were doing wrong? Where would we be without her? The one to show us the right path? How much more diffic ult would life be without the wisdom she shares to you and me? Who can love you like a mother can? Who can place a simple kiss on your aching hand and make it like new brand? Who can? No one can like a mother Our nation is blessed because of the love she bestows God has blessed her to open our eyes when they are closed God has blessed her to provide bread and butter when the gas is nowhere to be found Who never let you go hungry? Who made sure you had shelter from the storm? Who but a mother? Her forgiving spirit is like no other Just think back to Hannah in the bible Such pure dedication and faith That's how strong a mothers heart can go on hoping and hoping for their little one One faithful prayer from a mother has saved thousands of sinful sou

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 can

The buzz of my phone or is it the buzz of my heart? Sweat drops ooze from my pores as I lean over into your embrace  Perhaps I should speak but what else is there to be said? Thoughts of the future spin around in my head Should I say this? Should I do that? then you crack a joke The sweat drops slow,the buzz of my heart speeds up  How do you make me feel such comfort when my body is preparing for a heart attack? Emotions building, sex organs preparing, lips waiting the love is overflowing You are my man to love and to hold I give you my mind,heart,body and soul nothing left for myself nothing will I withhold Those who look on need not know how deep our love goes Years roll by and I still have that buzz buzz within when you walk by I don't question your love for me I see it in your smile The world is filled with hate and selfish desires Yet we found an oasis where we produce the love that others only dream of I have all the words in my mind to show

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 w

Firstly, what a blessing it is to live in a country where we still are afforded many privileges. When I look around I don't have to look far to find something to smile about in Jamaica on the other hand however I don't have to look far either to find something to be sad about. The source of a Jamaica's many problems stems from selfishness. Selfishness from politicians,children,old people,teachers,pastors,selfishness can be found all over the island. When I enter a taxi I always pause to say good morning or good afternoon and am often met with strange stares as if I have done something wrong. People have sent me messages saying I bash my nation too much,really? Even when I address the negativity I always highlight the positivity. I want a change in my nation therefore I will make known the wrongs that I see taking place. Parents, the bible speaks to training up a child well when he is young and when he is old he will not depart from it yes that is true.But honestly I have
