WORLD WAR III

We live in a noisy serene environment where frownlike smiles are seen every second, an environment filled with wicked rectitude friendships. Mesmerising, isn't it? Gone are the days where simple tools were used for tough work, gone are the days where countries rose and fought against each other. Gone are the days where individuals lived in conflict and discomfort. WAIT! that came out wrong, Those days are the ones we live in. When we decided to live in "peace", which type of "peace" were we referring to? It's either there is a different meaning to "peace" or we have disguised it. We know individual prosperity is needed to make a great country but we have made friends with greediness, jealousy, and hatred which are gradually sinking us. I used to hear 'we are one people' a lot but it just seems we either had no idea what it meant or we agreed to disagree. What shall we gain from bringing others down in anyway possible? We will all ge...

UGLY PARADISE

Just like that, garden of eden has been turned inside out. Who thought the once haven will be  made a hazard? It makes me so sad. Here I was, thinking innocent souls don't deserve to be here but somehow, they are here because  they have no other better place to go. Want to know  a jaw dropping fact? These souls are the ones who turned this haven into a hazard and have the guts to complain about their discomfort and safety. Yes! Just like that we've made a place that was once more beautiful than we could ever imagine, a kingdom of filth. Our clean waterbodies now  have a colour I can't even tell, due to  numerous disgusting things we have proudly and comfortably  put in,because we live in the present and don't care what happens in future. How can trees which provides oxygen! Oxygen! Wait, not any mere gas but OXYGEN! Be cut down without replacement? These same trees protect soil from erosion and provide shade. Hm! How can we not think of the future?...

BURIED BEAUTY

They say 'good things come to those who wait' , this is a lie we need to stop telling ourselves. Flood no longer  occurs so noone talks about sanitation. We are so comfortable  with the present that we forget  about the future, the lives and properties we are protecting now, can be lost in a second but we don't think of it that way. we wait! We wait a bad wait,get filled with sorrow and play the blame game which we are very good at. Has it ever occurred to you why different types of medicine are advertised each day? We haven't  realised  the major cause of our diseases are from our polluted environment so we are in a weird cycle now. We get sick, take medication, feel better and fall sick again and our ignorance will make pharmaceutical  companies  rich. Sadly most literates also pollute the environment so I can't really see the margin between them and illiterates. We should know our health is our wealth and our actions affects noone but us. We put...

SUNSET

They prepare their "roofless" houses and get ready for bed when the daylight fades. They hold on to the only positive  thing from pandora's box, not because they want to but because  they have no option. They wish daylight  fades with  their worries and sorrows so that they could see better and beautiful  days but Aphrodite  plays no role on their part. They are hurt, confused and don't really follow life's rhythm and they keep thinking if Apollo  is aware of their existence. The women and children  are prone to so many diseases and Demeter  is just watching. In this state,  there's intra conflict and inter conflict just for comfort, food and safety, Ares is really making an effort. Only if Athena could bless them and make their paths smooth for once since most of them had beautiful beginnings but their lives were ruined by Até, Ares or someone else and they have ended up like Medusa. They are hopping to see Tyche give them a chance Her...

SHADES OF MELANIN

It's  a treasure that's inherited, charms every soul and glows in the dark. Wealth has no idea  how to get. What would we have done without melanin, a valued pigment that has made us who we are. I talk about black skin with passion because it's one of the most beautiful  things in the world, unfortunately, not everyone  has it. It's our shield  which protects us from the deleterious  effects of ultraviolet  radiation, black skin shines in the day and glows at night. I'm I the only one who sees smiles of black skinned people  differently? It's golden and as warm as their skin, matching perfectly with their type of hair . Making its beauty complete. Beautiful black natural hair,  soft and curly,leaving people's gaze guarded. I believe  the greatest thing that could ever happen to a person  is to be black. Sadly, using  chemicals to change skin colour doesn't only  clear all these  advantages  but makes you a tota...

WHAT EVERYONE HAS

Some people  have assets, others  have nothing and those with assets, wake up everyday with the aim of making more of it to increase  the money they make while those with nothing, well .....same old. They keep on hoping and waiting  for a miracle but it's  best to hope and wait for a miracle when one is working on something to fetch  him money. obviously,  our mentality is the margin  that separates the rich from the poor. We all have equal time, the greatest asset one could ever have and sadly, it's  taken for granted. I used to hear "time is money" often but now it isn't used that much  and I believe it's because  we don't really understand it but those who do are either successful or on their way to success. Every second counts, a lot can be done within  twenty-four hours but our environment  and the type of  foundation we had  is making it difficult for us to believe. Changes are made not inherited. Scho...

MIRACLE'S MIRACLE

             Whenever great people  tell us they had this type of childhood, we get surprised and thank God since we somehow benefit from their success.  They didn't  magically  become successful but rather through someone. We see a lot of these  kids everywhere  and ignore them meanwhile we are their miracles and are the ones to help them identify  their potentials ,better their skill set ,be their source  of motivation and educate them. Without all that ,they will bury their greatness  and become a prey  to inferiority  complex. They pray for better days ,they pray for miracles but there will be nothing like a better day until we make one for them. Their torn clothes are worn through  out the week but we work hard for luxury. We play a very important  role in their lives ,sadly, we don't even know it. They are not meant to be poor ,they have a bright future so we should not chang...

ARE WE THERE YET?

We crave for prosperity ,gender  equality ,freedom ,justice ,green pastures. We talk about each with  strong  force and anger ,but our attitude towards bringing all to reality is lackadaisical. Why is that so?. Are we waiting for someone to work on it for us? We haven't  reached our goals yet ,why have we relaxed? People still suffer ,others die because they don't have enough resources to survive and its now like we don't care anymore. We are comfortable with the current happenings because we want to be. We are just settling  for less. This is not the Africa I learnt about growing up. I know Africans wouldn't give up without a fight but here is the case nothing  similar  is being thought of. The fact that some leaders do not even believe in their people  and some people not  believing  in their leaders saddens my heart. What happened  to unity? What happened  to individual  prosperity?.Why is the rate of poverty ...

BLACK ATTITUDE

Development is a collective activity ,the role we play affect us more. We are not just developing slowly as a result of we not playing our roles , people are losing  their lives and properties as well. Black attitude  helps to develop primary  inferiority  complex to secondary. We tell ourselves negative stories which prevent us from developing our skill set ,applying what we learn and also helping others and it 'graduates' personal problems into social problems. Instead of  getting rid of it , hard earned monies are used to solve the problems black attitude create which takes us back to where we started. Why are we allowing something to run our lives for us? From June through  to July ,heavy rainfall causes unbearable  flooding in Kumasi ,Accra and other places in Ghana. When it happens , black attitude blames the government  for poor drainage system. This same black attitude dump refuse in Gutters ,water bodies and also build close to water ...
