How to strengthen the family ties!

Ever since she gave birth to this child
She has been worried about their friends
even when the child is was growing as a teenager
and to the time the child turned twenty five.

She was worried about the company of friends
The child would be involved in school, college and later on in life.

Ever since she start noticing the rise in crime and violence among
Young people, she has been doing all her best to keep her son busy
And safe from been involve in those crimes.

She would wake up early in the morning to him prepared for school
And she would not rest until she is sure that everything has gone well
During the course of the day before she finally goes go bed very late.

She would normally say her prayers and on behalf of her only lovely child.
With the hope that the child would grow up to be responsible adult in life.

She could not ever imagine that the family union could be so shatter and broken as we now see it around us.

But then, whenever, she tries to find out why?
There’s seems to be anyone to provide her with a satisfying answer. She walks away feeling sad for the other parents and worried about her own child.

She listen to the news to find out what is going on around the world but
To her surprise, all she could instead get the news she never want to hear
About again…Someone has been stab to death because of an argument…

She cries but in silence and pain for the parents of those victims. And asked…
What has happened to the family ties, to the love that builds up the family, the unity and friendship that was the backbone of the community and to the glue-ties that once attached children together?

Do you the answer to her question?
Can you help in whatever capacity to save someone’s child’s life, and altogether finding a complete solution to the gun/knife crime on our streets and neighborhood?

And if you know how to strengthen our family ties once more so that society can once again enjoy peace and be free of crime and violence, send me your suggestions.

Mr. Summer!

Oh! How we do loved you!
You got so much to offer and to take away
No one knows you better than you yourself

There’s so much you offers

You bring comfort and joy to families and loved ones
Rest for the working class. Break for our hard working teachers
And students alike

Your presence is always welcome.
This is seen in the parks, gardens and public squares where every one
Would be in a merry mood

With you around, when you does come, people of all would plan what to do with your presence
Some would travel to the four corners of mother earth
For others, it would be a time to learn of something new and to see new things

Your presence is so much appreciated Mr. Summer. So much that most people
Would greet your arrival in semi-nakedness.

But you upset mother Earth by allowing thick plumes of smoke to be ascending into
The air from our backyards, and parks all in the name of BBQ.

You arrive unannounced and departs in the same manner living everyone upset

Only to be visited by Mr. Spring closely followed by Mr. Winter who never smiles, not friendly and never warming to any one. Instead of his (Mr.Winter’s) presence, we are force to double everything we put on, double our prices for heating, food and more

Then, pressure is put on Mr. Tea, his right-hand man Mr. Sugar and their friend Mr. Milk.

Please! Come back Mr. Summer. Come and stay with us for a while.

Genesis!

We walked and climbed up the stairs away from the car park
With his wife slowly but closely following
She is coming here to create the first of her kind (human). It was the right time.

Her needed toiletries were all in place
He helped her into her nightgown and head-tie
Down the small metal bed, she was placed
Place there to rest before things get started.

At any time from now, it could happen
We looked at her beautiful face. It registered love for him but she was in pain and feels betrayed by him at this hour. He gave way to floods of tears
His wife was trying to hide her labour pains her lovely smiling face.

“Its time to leave gentlemen” said the doctor and his team
We took a last look at her and everything around her and said ”It is good”
It was already dawn; into the car we went to help ourselves to the mouth-watering breakfast.

We love her but left her to undergo the pain alone
That’s how it should be
For nature said so.

Over the hill and trees, was the smiling sunshine coming our way
We lovingly welcome it
For we know it was bring a new day, and a new life into this world
Its rays added to our happiness and joy to having a new baby.

A Perfect World!

I know of a world!

A world that I am really sure of

A world that I would want to live in

Am quite sure you too would want to.

It is a perfect world
A world in which I wouldn’t have to struggle
each day to make my life meaningful.

This world would definitely come and it would
be here very soon.

It is a world free from all the problems and hardship
We see today and experience ourselves.
This would be a different world from what you and I know
Because, in this world, man and beast would be at with
each other to eternity.

The world I am talking about would be a pain-free, death-free,
Ache-free and violence-free world.

Indeed! It would be a world without any carnage and strife
Compared to the one we know and living in today.
In this world, neither man nor animal would dare think of destroying the life of another living creature.

This is the world I so eagerly awaits to be here.
I want to be in the type of world where I wouldn’t have to
be looking over my shoulder when walking the streets neither by day nor by night.

I am more than sure that this world would be here very soon!
And it would be forever and ever!

I know that you too look forward to this world.
It would be a world where peace and love would as if reign as king.
Disrespect, hatred, malice, fighting of any kind including wars and disorder would be gone for good and forever forgotten.
Then man and his brother would live in peace and unity without thinking of nationality, tribe, and language…

This is a world where everyone would be his brother’s keeper and ready to protect the global family of man, beast and plants.

Just take a minute to think. Think of this incoming world.
A world that would be prisons-free.

A world that would not need any CCTV cameras, no security personnel because there would not any crime, no hospitals because there wouldn’t be any sick neither any pain, no politician since all the inhabitant would only be subject a perfect KING and no religious groups as we know of today because by then, every man would have leant to know that there is only one form of true worship and therefore, only one true religion to follow.

You may still be thinking what this is all about, and may be wondering yes, it’s all sounds nice but would it ever be! Well instead of just thinking, why not examine the evidence for yourself in the Holy Books?

I know that this world is not a mere dream but a reality! Because the evidence that it would soon be here, is more truthful and precise than that to the weather forecast for tomorrow.


I am in no doubt that this world would be here just in time as it was intended.
This is the type of world that I believe,I should be living it. And am sure this sort of world is my WORLD!


I can see that you want to live in this world with your family and friends. Yes! It would be a perfect world because it would be govern by its creator. Our heavenly and everlasting father.
The loving and Almighty God JEHOVAH!

Am not sure!

Am not sure. Are you...

Am not of this world today.
Am really not sure as to whether
I am living in the right world
Are you sure, how so?

I wake up every morning only to start
my day struggling to make life meaningful.
What about you?

Walking down the street is no longer safe
during daylight or by night;for every step,
you would turn to see who is following behind
you. And you would want to know why.

This is the world I am living in.
its makes me wonder if at all this is my
world.

Am really not sure if I should be living in
this type of world.Have you ever
Wondered like that?

Are you sure that you are living in the correct world?
Am not sure of that.

Page to the last of every news paper contains stories
of horror of some kind, so too are the other news media.

If indeed we were meant to be living in this world,
then something has gone dreadfully wrong.
And I could easily conclude that I am living in crazy world.

This is a world were men are becoming women
and women trying to be men.
A world which has for a long time ago thrown LOVE,
RESPECT, CONSIDERATION, FRIENDSHIP, HONESTY, PATIENT
deep down the ocean and never to be found again

You hardly know which words of speech is the right one;
because the daily spoken words are now F-WORDS, S-WORD and so on.

This is the world I know a world where there are only few
HUSBANDS AND WIVES simply because certain
people prefer to have a PARTNER or MATES.

This creates a lot of confusion for me as I try to find out
more about this life in a world like this one.
A world of TOTAL CHAOS, with one shocking event to the other.

Are you sure you are living in the right world.
Think twice before you answer this question.

If this is my world, then am very saddened
to see what goes on around me everyday.
I noticed that the dress code for most people is,
LESS CLOTHING and MORE FLESH for others to see.

Stories of abuse and corruption are every where.

The fact is that most MEN are now living with fellow MEN
and WOMEN with WOMEN as romantic partners.

This is why I am not sure if I am living
in the real world that I was meant to be.

From one street corner to the other in this world,
the trade in, taking and abuse of DRUG is now getting out of control.

What a world! A world in which MORALS are said to be things of the past.
It no longer matters if you do have any or not. Because, the world is now
full of SELFISHNESS, GREED, PRIDE, ANGER, COMPETITIONS, THEFT,
causing many to becoming more ANIMALISTIC in nature.
This makes it extremely difficult for the few who are trying to
show that this world shouldn’t be like it is now.

Is this really your world? Why then is the environment so RAPIDLY
RUINED WITH PLANTS AND ANIMAL LIFE hanging on a tiny thread-like life span?

If this was really my world, then, I would be made to believe that it would have
to be crime-free. But what I know is that guns and knives are ruling the street
and those in control of them are just too happy ending other people's life.

Am not pretty sure of this world. A world where the home is now a MOTEL
instead of a place for unity, happy family life, a symbol of love,
shelter and protection.

When it comes to solving problems and conflicts AMICABLY,
most would prefer Violence.
Something that has led to the massacre of hundreds of innocent lives.

Deadly DISEASES are tracking all of us down every
now and then more than ever.
Making things even worse is the fact that,
the basic necessities that sustain life are rocketing.
And if not tackle now, would lead to the next great bloody
conflict in many lands around the globe.

I am definitely not SURE if this world is where I was meant to be.
I am not sure of this WORLD any more.
ARE YOU!

The Woman!

Who is she?

Until you are closer to her, you may never know much about her
She is our mother, sister and wife.
Our closet companion at all time, season and throughout our existence

The woman is very hard working, caring, protective and loving.
She alone is capable of educating the world of mankind
Her softness and tender affections draws us closer to her
she is very much beautiful and full of beauty all the year round

She likes to live a colorful life and do things her own way
Every now and then, she is seeing fighting for her equal right from the man
When the man says one word, she says five and if the man says five words,
she says hundred or more words. That’s how she is. She is The Woman…
But she never runs away from her responsibilities nor is she afraid to take on more
all for the sake of pleasing you and I.

The woman is the best gift ever for a man
With her gift, if properly make use of; she can become whatever she chooses to be…
The Woman is the second to best of all living creatures.
She deserve love, respect, honor and to be treated with unfading love

You think that’s all about The Woman!
Then take your seat and learn more.
More about this masterpiece of God’s creation…

If you treat her nicely, she would say you are in love with her;
if you don’t, she would say you are below her standards.

Every time you dress nicely, she is likely to say that you are trying to impress her and wanting to entice her;
if u don't, she says you are a crap and shaggy person.

Should you argue with her, she would say you are a bully;
if u keep stays calm, she would say you're frightened of her and that you are a fool that she can easily fool around.
She could also take the opportunity to have you as her foot stool.
Becareful boy!

When smarter than she is, she'll be very upset because, she would always want to be seen as the smartest

If you fail to show her how much you love her, she would try to force into doing so. So that she can posses you for life;
but when you show her too much love, she would quickly conclude that you are not capable ever have any one else as she is.

She would therefore do anything to annoy you to the point that, she can easily walk away from you to another gentleman.

If you tell her your problems, she would say, you are unserious and why can’t you solve them by yourself!
And if you fail to tell her your problems and anxieties at all, she would immediately conclude that you don’t trust her.

If you break any of her promises, she would distrust you forever without thinking back of the 99.9% of the promises you have always kept.

If you hurt her, she will say, you are cruel and don’t deserve to have her
but when she hurts you, she wouldn’t expect you to complain. She would its part of the price you have to pay for loving her.

But if you do complain, she would say, you are too irritable and that you mourn too much.

These are just some of my personal observations about The Woman. Therefore, if you are marriage to her, try to know more about her.

If she is your sister, ask her to tell you more about her likes and dislikes about men. More so, if The Woman is your mum, spend time to observe the way she treats men and find out why she does it.

Alternatively, if you are a friend to one, then you have lots of opportunities to learn and to fully understand The Woman!

As for me, this is my little understanding about The Woman. I may by right or wrong. Why not tell me you views about this article?

Living forever a wonderful…!

If not mistaken, every living human being wants to live for and to enjoy now and forever. Why is that the case? It’s possible at all?
Well, let’s get some facts that support this statement. What comes to your mind when you are ill? What do others fear when they became victims of sickness and what is there reaction? It fact shows the following:

1. People in general can be as old as 80 + and can never do what they have always doing due to age, weaknesses, pains and more. But yet still, these ones are very happy to continue hanging on to this life to the full. Death then becomes their worst enemy, and they never want it mentioned around them and to them.

2. When face with serious or minor illnesses, they would do all they can to the best of their capability to get well instantly.

3. In an event of natural disasters, victims of these are eager to receive all the needed medical attention at hand.

4. To some extent, most people join religion because of the prospect of living forever either on Earth here, Heaven and elsewhere.

5. With his hope of living forever, man has done all he can to get the best food portion that can aid this prospect.

6. He has looked for and got the most advance medical treatment so far. You knew the rest that man has and hasn’t done in his quest for everlasting life.

7. He knew that his life is in constant threat from hunger, diseases, and other unforeseen occurrences. And yet, man can’t imagine becoming the next victim to these because, he wants to live forever.

What makes man to realize this fact? Well look no further than to what the Holy Books has to say on the matter.
The fact is that all the Holy books support the idea of life everlasting. And because they are said to containing the saying of the only one and wonderful Creator, these recorded words in those books are true and accurate.
The accuracy and truthfulness of those promise words are the basis behind man’s belief of living forever.
I too believe that. Do you, if so are you prepared to get the marvelous never unending life?
For more details please contact me on the “comment Tab.”

Let JAH be praise!

We got the wind that blows everyday
We have the stars, moon and sun to us light.

Think about the clothing you have to put on, the Home you have,
the families and friend that makes you life special...

Who made all that possible for you?
Do you show appreciation...?

How do you feel when the rain pours down its blessings
to enable the growth of plants for food, medicine,and comfort?

Just imagine the day you saw your very first child!!! What were you moved to do?

Even when things seems to be difficult, there's hardly a day you go by without food
and all the basic necessities you need to sustain life.

How does this happened, where do they come from?

Most importantly, who provides them?

Reflect on the beautiful day when the sun was smiling at you and the birds around you
playing their latest melodies for you.
At that moment in time, your life was fully of pleasure, meaning and determination to continue living forever.

Like me, did you ever take a minute to ask “Whose handy work is all behind this life that I am enjoying"?

With the answers to the questions raised, you would be move to say "LET JAH BE PRAISED".

You should be the first person to praise Him for all He has done for you.

Let GOD be praise and to Him alone be the glory!
for ever!!!

Children On The Street!

We see them passing by our doors every morning
they’re not going to school as our children
neither are they going to work.

Moving ups and down they have nowhere to go
they have no education and seem to have
no future

We have to fight and get these children off the streets

On the cold winter mornings and evenings
You see them walking bare footed in the street
Not knowing where they are from and where to go.

You can’t help but ask
Do they really have parents if they do,
why are they going through this?

Why are they not in education like our children?
Let’s come together, discourage these children form
the street into education and help
lay the foundation on which to build
their future life.

WHO AM I ?

Always remember me as you learn what I am capable of doing.

I maim without killing
I break hearts and ruin lives
I am crafty and malicious.
With age, I gather strength.
Becoming more destructive and in every habitation

The more you quote me, the more I am believe and trusted
I prosper in all sorts of societies and lives
Most of my victims are powerless
They can’t defend themselves against me
Because they can’t easily identify who I am.

Tracking me down is a painstaking task.
The more you try to identify me, the more misleading
and mysterious I turned out to be
I am nobody and therefore nobody’s friend
You hardly recover your reputation once I have tarnished it
You would never be the same again.

I wreck families, friendship, other relationship and marriages
I topple governments and politicians and create an environment of-
mistrust and misunderstanding.
Innocent people always cry because of me
However defensive the emotion seems to be, I can easily penetrate it
Who am I, do you know me or my name by now?
What do you think abut me? Now that you knew what I do,
it is important that you know my name
Do so to protect yourself against me.

Mr. GOSSIP that’s my name.

MY IDENTITY!!!

Who do you think I am?
Tell me if you know.
Ask my parents. They knew who I am …
I am their most precious gift (child)

For the ordinary man and woman, am nothing but a
Human like themselves
My colleagues around me, I am a young adult,
and a great friend to them and to you

A useful asset to my family, relatives and a timely
gift to the communities I finds myself.
to my teachers, a well behaved, matured, sensible
hardworking, helpful, honest and a respectful pupil

to God my creator, I am one of his most wonderful piece of creation.
His image.

Am your friend. A lover of unity, peace and love.
An enemy of nobody but, myself.
You still don’t know me.
Do you?
I am simply a Black and Humble African.
An African who dare not troubles no one.
