STREET CHILDREN

There are so many homeless children on the street. They have nothing to eat or nowhere to sleep. They have no fathers or mothers, they clean wind-shields just to make a dollar. How can we sit and watch, this sort of act? and do nothing about it, when we know it is a fact. These children are homeless, they are wild and carefree, they have no hope for the future and diffenently no security.How long must they be seen loittering on the street? then charge them with assult, robbery and profanities. These street children need some kind of stability, where they can be accepted and treated as a part of the society. Don't forsake and reject them, they have blood going through their vains, they maybe homeless, but they sure are not insane. do not exploit them by using them to clean your wind-shield, then you take off as if they are not human beings. This is what they do for their living and this is how they survive, in order to stay alive. There's still hope for their future, if we come together with some resolution by helping to save these underprivilege generation. This will help to reduce crime and violence, because these children have lost their self-confidence in believing politicians, who said; they would solve their problem. But their speeches were 'Dead-Beat' cause here they are, still loittering and sleeping on the streets.

CELLULAR

With the mobile phone, there is seemingly no limit to it's usefulness and capabilities. But it's future will almost certainly centre around the people in the society. The mobile phone will still play a key part in the way we communicate but there are others out there who can't wait to confiscate. Cell phones are for convenience, comfort and security, it has helped to create alot of versatile opportunities, by being able to communicate both far and near, to love one's to whom we hold dear. Talking with someone is the main use for a cell phone but do people really use it with care? this Digicel, Claro and Lime should try to know. Jamaican people have become so hype if you touch their phone, you can bet it's gonna be a fight. Cellular has created the good and the bad, everywhere you look, a cellular in either hand. This technology is a good thing to keep,even though it sometimes let you mourn and weep, because others out there just a watch and peep, to try and take away what you sow and reap. The important thing about the cellular you can use it rain or shine, you don't have to have a dime, just' text for credit' or "Please Call Me", everytime. The Children are taking it to School, sometimes i have to wonder if they are the one's who make the rules or the Cellular turn them into fool's. Now let's look at some of the one's that we should band. "Do not drive and talk on phone", now this the 'Cellular Companies' should all know. "Dem sey crime and violence a run di nation" but Cellular a cause some of di violation. People's life are taken most times because of Cellular and this help to cause the crime rate to get higher. Alot of accident is caused by careless driving but if you really check it out, a Cellular was at their mouth. Cellular is a very helpful technology, but use it with some dignity and maturity, cause it dey yah fi everybodi, an wi proud fi have it in a wi lickle country.

CELLULAR

Cellular a run di nation, everbodi got one, even di younga generation. Jamaican people get suh hype, if yuh don't have a cellular den yuh out adi light. Every whey yuh tun people pon phone, if yuh don't have one den yuh know yuh on yuh own. Cellular create di good and di bad, a ongly wish people would use it, fi proper benefit.

Di cellular is a whole lot of fun but nuh use it fi track nobody dung, an use it ongly wen yuh nah drive, cause di cellular a help to tek people's life.

LET'S STOP RECKLESS DRIVING

Crime and violence is at the top of the list, but road accident is another that we can't dismiss. Everyday another body is found, it seems like accident is on the rebound. Drivers, driving reckless as if they are taking part in a contest. Nobody care when they are in gear and leave families in sorrow and tear. Where do drivers get their licence? it must be for free, because i am wondering if they are blind, why they just can't see me.The Pedestrian crossing is plain as can be, then why do drivers, drive so carefree. The Stoplights are so bright to show drivers how to stay insight but they probably saying; "I wish i may" or "I wish i might". The drivers don't look before they speed, they behave as though they are on crack or weed. Stop! the accident, it can be prevent, if you can't drive take a taxi then, because we are tired of hearing if and when. Road users, you too must be blame, if you can't walk and look, then you must be the same. Let's all come together and start participate, the road is for everybody, but the accident is not pretty.

Butterflies are species that should be treated like babies. They spread their wings for love and freedom, they are full of fun.

SCHOOL VILOENCE PT.2 SOLUTION

The families is a critical component to any child's life. when it comes to education, no greater statistic stands truer today than the achievement gap between students whose parents are involved in their education process and those who do not have the support. personal responsibility, safety and education are key elements to bringing up the next generation. Many of the school's families do not know where to begin in School. Many parents today never had an example of their parents supporting the school let alone they may not have enjoyed their personal schooling experience. why would they have a desire to serve? you only know what you have experience.

EARLYCHILDHOOD PT. 2

Earlychidhood Education has broaden the nation, if you don't believe me, take a look at your television or listen to your radio station. Sir Andrew Holness have make education a success and with Earlychildhood our children must progress. Our Education System had taken a seat back-ward but with Sir Holness as Minister, we are moving forward. Our children can read and write than before, they even learning, how to knock on door. The teachers are improving their education because we would like to see more Jodi-ann and Bolt in the next generation. With education free, our children can learn more than just A.B.C. Don't try and stop Earlychildhood education because it is doing more good to our younger generation. The teachers are getting more creative and the children are more focus and attentive. Earlyfocus is the key, it will make our children turn out successfully. Thanks to Sir Holness, for giving your best, Earlychildhood education is now a progress and this is something i have to confess.

SOLUTION TO THE BRUTAL AND CALLOUSNESS ATTACKS ON OUR CHILDREN

Teach your children to run away from danger and don't stop and talk to stranger. Teach your children not to travel alone and if in trouble, teach them how to phone. know where your children are, if they are near or far. Talk openly to your children about safety and security. know your children's friends and view how they comprehend. Safety and security guidelines must be taught in School daily or the consequences leads to fatality. Always keep the lines of communication open to your child's imagination. Set clear rules and limits for your children in order to solve some of the problem. Don't be afraid to parent; know when to intervene instead of waiting to hear sirene. Stay involved in your child's School and give them the proper tool. This is just one of the solution that can enhance the situation.

BRUCE BICKNELL "MAKING A DIFFERENCE"

Bruce Bicknell, you have done well for the people of the innercity where everyone know life here is not pretty. People of high status don't regard us, but it takes a man like you, to erase our fears and blues. Many politicians have made alot of promises but you stood by us regardless of the guns and profanities. People in the innercity have lost their identity because of criticism saying "We don't belong in the society". Bruce Bicknell, a upper class Resident, if only you knew how many crime you have helped to prevent. You gave us hope and aspiration, we thank you for your time and contribution. You have spend time and money in the innercity community and you have treated us with love, respect and dignity.

BARACK OBAMA THE NEW AMERICA PRESIDENT

Today Barack Obama sworn in as president, people from all over came to see with excitement. Obama, the first black president of the United States, shows that dreams do come true along with faith. Martin Luther King, had a dream that one day black people would be seen. Martin Luther king, wherever he maybe is shouting out for victory. Obama, a man of integrity and justice, speak out for people's right and humanity. Obama pledges to meet challenges and people cheered while they listen patiently to his message. When Obama takes to the street along parade route, people smiled, waved and salute. His families all celebrated his victory while the people all said Bush, is history. Americans are all proud but only black people found this very profound. For too long, black people have been in the back seat, now today, Obama has stopped that defeat.

RACISM. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STOP IT

Life is hard enough without having to put up with racist attitudes but there is stuff that you can do to make a difference. Don't take the abuse or you will left confused. Realised that you're not the one with the problem and instilled this in your children. Tell someone what is happening to you, maybe that person can help you to think things through. Keep some evidence of what's happening instead of quarelling and fighting. Be prepared to speak out, let someone know what it's all about. Keep safe and aware and never withdraw or fear. never give up! Keep trying with words that are inspiring. Get others involved to help you, even when it's a few. Racism must stop!

CHEERS TO OUR ATHLETES

Cheers to our athletes who made Jamaica history, other countries to this day a try to solved this mystery. Wondering what food we eat or what is in our feet to make us victorious and hard to defeat. Never in history we've gotten so much gold and to hear them in Beijing a sing: "Happy Birthday to Usain Bolt". Tears of joy filled the air, everyone shouting to our athletes we cheer. Beijing was in shocked, Usain on his back, one by one he came out with the gold on top. Usain created a flame everyone shouting his name. For the first time i turned to the news and hear of no crime. Jamaicans took the spotlight in Beijing and to this day our Anthem still a sing.

School fee waste, clothes caan fit, sickness cum mammy sey wad dis? Head-ache, back-ache, even tooth-ache too, gal start bawl and mammy tun blue. Sen yuh to School to get an education yuh out deh wid buoy meking genaration. How yuh a guh manage, wey yuh gwine stay, a three more mi have wey in a day-care. a try mi dida try wid yuh because mi neva have nobody fi sen mi go a school are even guide mi in wat to do.

LOVING DIFFERENTLY

To love differently is a crime, if you are not talked about, your on prime time. Taking people's life because they love differently doesn't help solve the problem in our society. People have a right whether they are black or whether they are white. God made us, so stop being so ridiculous. Noone asked to accept those who love differently, so do not abused people's choice violently. Let's not hate instead learn how to relate and find a better solution than to violate. "We can't have our cake and eat it", but we can stop profanity and live in unity.

STOP! BRUTALIZING OUR ANIMALS

A creature who can't speak, loittering on the street. Brutalized and shattered our animals are battered. If only Jamaican realized that in the States this would be known as hate. Stop! mis-treating the animals they have a say, how would you like to be treated in that same way? You kicked, stoned and beat them, yet you would called this abused if it had been our children. Animals can't speak, yet they have a mouth, they are carefree, they just go about. They are comforters to the homeless, hopeless and old, they can defend you in times of trouble if you are not bold. They are sometimes smart, if you play your part. They should be treated just like a child and stop avoiding them as if they are that defiled. They are just like the police force logo:"To serve and protect", now treat them as we would treat ourselves with love and respect.

SCHOOL VIOLENCE

Violence have now become popular it has impacted the lives of our Scholars. Violence has destroyed our education system causing our young people to become victims. Illegitimacy and the breakdown of families lead our children to seek their reality in gangs, drugs and profanities. Competitiveness and high parent expectations makes our children lose their identity and turns to criminality. Materialism and advertising, which create a culture disrupted the young people minds and turn them into vultures. Domestic violence and child abuse, makes the young people unhappy and confused. Violent cultural imagery, from T.V. shows, are the only solution our young people know. How do we keep the violence out of the classroom? Should we placed "Metal detectors, SWAT teams, Profiles and Warning signs? or must we sit and watch the increasing crime that lingers in our young people mind. There must be a solution to prevent violence in School, if you have a solution why not share it too.

JAMAICA THE LAND OF MY BIRTH

Jamaica the land of my birth, i am not ashamed to say it gives me a feeling of self-worth. When i think of my National heroes and what they have done for me, i now know they are truly a reality. The National Flag that we salute gives us a sense of confidence and independence. The Coat of Arm which shows "Out of Many one People" tells us that we are small but capable. The Caribbean Sea that surrounds us allows tourist to make Jamaica amust. Our Reggae Music that vibrates everywhere gives the other countries a feeling of dispair. Our Coconut Water, Sugar Cane, and Rum are tourist pleasure especially in the sun. The beautiful Craft Market to visit and see has pots and pictures in varieties. The ambiance of Hotels is here to welcome you with entertainment galore not to mentioned the view. Our Jamaican Athletes makes the country complete with runners like Walker, Bolt and even Merlene. Our National colour: Black, Green and Gold represent the country in us; proud, strong and focus. Jamaica maybe little and have alot of crime but everything we do, we do it in style.

CRIME AND VIOLENCE

Crime and violence a wen it gwine stop all yuh hear daily is killing and gunshot. Madda's crying, fadda's sighing, children raping, bodies dying. Politicians and Government urging and pleading, while de shooting and killing is jus exceeding. Dem sey education is de key but de people dem sey dat a nuh reality. Nuh jobs for de poor and de infamous, only for de rich and de industrious. Wi can't even trust de policeman dem cause dem act like wi enemy more dan wi fren. Dem sey dem here to serve han protect but dem logo not even connect. Wi can't even stay out late agen cause in de mawning yuh woulda hear wat and wen? Children use to play ontil late nite, now children caan play widout a fite. Madda intervene, police pon scene, ambulance a come inbetween wi dem sirene, children kill each ada ova tangarine. People of dis country hear mi a talk, a sit mi sit an write dis mi neva didda walk, help stop de violence by stop discriminate cause wen di pressure tek yuh it is too late.

DEATH

Death has no time or style, it neither lingers or try to know your profile. It takes the old and the young; no weapon can stop it not even the gun. Death and life could never be friends, because one is the beginning and the other is the end. Death has no mercy or compassion, it's always been apart of God's creation. It sneaks upon you when you least expect and take over your life with no prospect. Death has no other name, it's always been the same, it takes the rich, poor and even the lame. Death does not compromise or pity the wise, it just take over your life with no disguise.

A CHILD CRIES FOR HELP

Help! me the child cried, "am only three don't take my life". Spare me for i am young and unable all i care about are tales of fables. Mama, help me! the voice shouted for awhile why me? ,please stop! remember i am but a child. What have i done a child so weak and carefree, i am not the mommy or daddy you see in me. My life i asked for you to spare my feet are too weak i can't run anywhere. Your gun is scaring me, please don't let me go down on my knees. Remember you've got children of your own, please let me go, i want to go home. The gun click, my eyes flick, i felt a hit, i thought a bit, there goes it, i was ready to quit. There were no more words that could save my life, remember i was only a child whose life was unspared and left to die.

TO BE THE BEST

To be successful is to be the best, although life can be a mess. Dreaming dreams that are complicated, sharing them often violated. Having goals that were never set, makes our aims a ticket bet. To be young and beautiful is what maketh friends, but to be kind and loving is hard to comprehend. To drive a fancy car is like being a super star, people welcome you even from afar. To be wise and caring is always despised yet violence is looked upon without compromised. If to be the best is to hate, redicule and be unfaithful then the best to me would be detestable.

TRIBUTE TO MOTHER

Mother your love is truly amazing, when God made you it was a blessing. Your devotion and smile ignites my heart, i knew i needed you right from the start. The kindness you showed in watching me grow, the thoughtfulness of you makes me glow. Your bed-time stories that puts me to sleep and your prayers to this day i keep. I'll never forget your greatfulness, in doing things for me whenever i make a mess. You never leave my side and you always say; "rules are there to abide". You never let me go hungry to bed, you always make sure i was showered and fed. You taught me how to share and care, you were always there to dry my tear. How could i unlove you, when others have mothers they never knew. Thank you God for my mother, even if there is no father, it's not a bother, because i will always love Mother.

EVERYBODY IS SOMEBODY

If a man is born in luxury, fantasies and security, he is known as somebody. If a man is born in poverty and misery, he's nobody. Everybody is somebody. if a child is white and has long hair, she is somebody. If a child is black and has course hair, she's nobody. Everybody is somebody. If a man has his College degree and made history, he's somebody. If a man has nothing but wants to be something, he's nobody. Everybody is somebody. When a woman is given an opportunity to succeed, she is somebody. When a woman struggles and tries to achieve she is nobody. Everybody is somebody, nobody is somebody.

GOD NEVER FAILS

When you feel discouraged and worries are ahead; when it seems as if you've reached the end of the rope, he will raised you up as if you were standing on mountain and saturate you in his anointings. Even when it seemed you've waited long he's moving in your mids and he'll be there even when he's four days late; he's still ontime. Sometimes we don't understand why we've waited so long but it is his way, not yours or mine. Remember the man on the middle cross; that man's name is Jesus. Who's words alone can catch a falling star?, only our redeemer. That's how you know he lives and will never disappoint you. Though your flesh be destroyed, when you had it all up the full cost of his love there is no charge. Amen.

FATHER'S ARE WONDERFUL

Fathers are wonderful to have because they struggles daily to live up to the images they have. And perhaps that is the reason we sometimes get the notion that fathers are not subject to the thing we call emotion. But if we look inside Dad's heart, where noone else can see, you'll find he's sentimental and caring as he can be. For the only reason Dad aspires to fortune and success is to make the family proud of him and bring them love and happiness. Like our heavenly father, he's a guardian and a guide, someone we can count on to be always by our side.

I AM NOT INFERIOR

I am not inferior. I am superior. I am black and i am proud! only someone who had been in bondage could say this aloud. I am free from chains and shackles, i wondered when and how, but now i won the battle. I am not inferior. I was a slave kept for days picking up off white folks and living their ways. I worked my hands until they bleed now here i am a man, i have now succeed.

HOW DO YOU?

How do you sleep, when children are homeless on the street?

How do you smile, when the rest of us cry?

How do you dream when there's so much to be seen?

How do you give your daughter away to be prosecuted and betrayed?

How do you overlooked the poor and needy and give to the

rich and greedy?

How do you laugh at the beggar, but hate to be called a nigger?

How do you feel when you never pray, but wish to live another day?

How do you do the things you do and expect your dreams to come true?, How do you?

MY VALENTINE

Oh! love of mine, i have no dime, all i am asking is for you to be my Valentine. My love for you i can't express the feeling of your tenderness. The touch of your hands keeps me wanting you, the day you came into my life you erased the blues. Tell me no secret, tell me no lie or just for today be my Valentine.

PAIN

Knees shaking, arms trembling, head spinning, eyes bulging, belly pain increasing, why is this pain so deceiving?. drinking tea but still on my knees crying; "Father God", help me please! Mother praying, lord touch that pain, but it seems as if the prayer was in vain.

Stomach felt like vomitting, back started hurting, i kept shouting, while the pain stopped at nothing. I said, lord please stop this pain!, but it felt as if the pain gone insane. I kept crying, "lord are you listening", but it seems as if the pain want to dismiss me.

Little by little the pain start drifting, my eyes went peeking on the belly that was hurting then looked to the ceiling and said lord you are truly believing, thanks for the healing, now my life has new meaning, no longer is this pain appalling, you are so amazing.

.

TAR AND NICOTINE

Stop! or we'll destroy your mind, it's not a game even though it sounds divine. We hate life and ambitious people, we seek out the rich and the feable. We'll show you love since you haven't got any then steal away all your penny. We'll separate your friends, odour your clothes, yellow your teeth and reckon your nose. We are cool but you've been fooled, when we are finished with you, you'll have no clue.

We'll feed on your lungs and play with your head, we do not leave until you are dead. Age don't matter to us but we love the one's who are never focus. We raised blood pressure and thicken artery walls but you still be friends with us afterall.

We increased fatty acids in blood and give us abnormal babies then why are you friends with us, are you dummies?. If you stop now your taste will improve, your breath and clothing will no longer smell and you'll reduce your chance of getting quicker to hell.

Oh! by the way did we told you that "Cancer" is also our friend.

THE INVISIBLE DREAM

Every night dreams of a better tomorrow filled the mind, a mind that conceive but cannot achieved. Dreaming of owning your home, driving a car yet a hold of these dreams seem so afar.

Pictures of wholesomeness fills the mind, buttercups and tulips makes the dream divine. Dreaming little and hope it will come true, dreaming big makes the reality blue. Dreams of crystal ignites the air, wine glasses and friends sparkle and cheer.

They say dreams are for the foolish and hopeless but the dreamer keeps dreaming hoping to find some progress.

WAR

War, war, is the top of the bar, raping and killing the Bible is fulfilling. Love turns to hate increasing the crime rate, people leaving their country to migrate. Guns were made for the law now everyone is using it without a cause.

Children kidnapped, raped and killed taken away against their will. Mother's crying, Police searching, Daddies in Jail can't can't get no bail. Is war the answer for a better nation?, what are we teaching the younger generation?.

Where is the love?, the unity and the togetherness in working to build this country to greatness. Stop! being ignorant saying politicians, when we are the one's with the guns and amunitions. All we are hearing is poor people, but helping to stop crime we are unable.

When will the war ceased we asked?, but the war is sometimes in our heart. Help stop the war from increased and there will be less bodies that are deceased.

WHAT IS LOVE

What is love?, so kind and true to have and hold yet makes us blue. Love can be tiring but also inspiring to those who hate and have no faith. Love can be nice but can't be priced, it bound to hold you if you compromised.

Love gives us friendship, courtship and happiness and brings us a feeling of togetherness. love never knows hate, war or misery, it gives us a peace of serenity. God is love and love is God and he who departeth from love, love he never had.

WHAT IS THE COLOUR OF LOVE?

The colour of love seemes to be mistaken, people are confused and find it complicated. Some say it's blue but have no clue. Some say it's white because it seems right. Some say it's red especially in bed. Some say it's pink but have no instinct.

Some say it's black others say they are whacked. Some say it's brown with a face of frown. Some say it's orange with no sense of knowledge others say it's green with a smile so serene. Love has no colour, shape or size it can only bring you comfort, happinesss and compromise.

THE BEGGAR WOMAN

Tattered and torn she stands alone, reaching out to someone to take pity. Noone stopped and placed a dime saying not now, not this time. Through the street she go bare footed and helpless, in her pan she looked but found it countless. she pleaded and pleaded, please for a dime but car windows went up as if she was rehearsing a nursery rhyme. Her hands were weak and so were her feet she decided to sit because she was too beat.

Everyone passed and stared at her while her eyes were tired and blurred. Tears of sorrow were in her eyes and the hot summer sun burned her feet oh! she wished she had something to eat. At last a stranger came up to her and said; here is some food and a drink too, now believe in miracles they do come true.
