We have shed tears for long And our eyes can no longer hold on Solutions to our woes have been prolong That we know not where we belong Death is what our mothers face We keep losing them day by day All we seek is God’s grace To be showered on us again To bear forth a child is a blessing But to die in the process is unfortunate Let not hesitate in advancing Before it becomes too late to be late Where are our leaders? Where are our fathers? Are they forsaking their responsibilities? We need them to protect us with their feathers Because It’s time to realize the source of their families?

  "Until, the philosophy, which holds one race superior and another Inferior Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, Everywhere is WAR." Those are the words of Bob Marley, in a song he tittles "WAR" Prejudice is the dust thrown on the human eye, thus tears is where the outcome lies. An irrational hostile attitude, fear or hatred towards a particular group, race or religion, Or an adverse judgement or opinion formed before hand or without knowledge of the facts. This is how i understand, define and term prejudice, how do you? Humans have refused to understand that all men cannot be equal. All men can never be rich, neither can they be poor. All men can never be white nor black. All men can never belong to the same religion. Never!!! Until we understand this, prejudice will continue to dwell amongst men and conflicts and intolerance shall be the harvests, which will ruin us down. Dear reader, why have we as a people allowed p...

Mavado, a Jamaican reggae/dance hall artist voiced out in his song, titled MONEY, that "Money can buy diamonds and gold. Money can make girls love you the way you want it. Money can make you have a lot of fake friends. Money can buy and do many other things, but money can't buy LIFE". Life is the most precious and most valuable thing anybody can have. It cannot be bought. To me, life is a gift from above. It is the almighty God who gives life. What else can money do to you? Money can help you enter a whole lot of places. It can help you gain respect. With money, you can do good and can also do evil. Comfortable standard of living depends solely on how heavy your account is. Money can take you away from the sick-bed, but can't bring you back to life when you are dead. Note that money is not God or an idol to be worshiped as many are doing. I once disagreed with a friend for saying "Money is life" though he tried his best to convince me and...

My little stubborn brother always pesters me to buy him ice cream. Recently, he cried severely and refused to stop until I buy him yoghurt. I had no choice than to use my last 1.00gh for his yoghurt. He followed me to a nearby supermarket and on our way back home, the little boy screamed and called, " bro Nat". As I turned, i noticed that fear has embraced him. "Nii, what is the matter with you?" I asked, and there, he pointed at a poor dirty wretched young man passing by. Nii, my little boy called him a MAD MAN and  I said to myself, this boy will call the poor dirty man on the street a madman but when he grows up, he will recognize who the real madman is. There are many people out there who don't really know what madness is. Many people out there will describe the mad man as the filthy dirty wretched man who has lost his mind, eating from the ground and refuse dumps, sleeps on the streets and in some cases parades the street half-naked. Well, ...

                          Ages ago, our fore fathers fought and struggled for the country Ghana. They fought with all their strength and might. They struggled,  split  blood and sweat for the country and its future. These ancestors of ours used their strength and physical powers because they did not know. They did not know because they did not learn. And since they did not learn, they did not know the TRUTH about certain things. The truth which was hidden from them made them to suffer. An English biologist, Thomas Huxley once said “try to learn something about everything and everything about something”. Brethren, this is our time to learn. This is our time to find the truth. We are not strong enough to use our physical might to fight, therefore let us use our minds. We should not just learn, but think. Confucius, a Chinese philosopher also stated that, “He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thi...

                                                      A philosopher once said ‘You are not to be so blind that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or say it’. I know people will be wondering why I made a statement of that sort, but I don’t think an individual will prefer to die for no reason. It’s just like a white lady saying “do you mind?” instead of “Yes” you say “No”.            The word “truth” is very easy to mention and very easy to spell. But I bet you, the moment it pops out, it’s more than hell. The truth is sometimes difficult to tell. The truth sometimes hurt when heard. Certain truths are very dangerous and powerful. It can break relationships and can even bring a divorce in marriages, it can kill and it can bring disappointment. Due to this, certain truths are dressed before said...
