PAST OF HER SHADOW

Past of her shadow
 The sweet treasure of her sorrow
   Now she wants to escape her past
      Darkness of memories is chasing her fast

        She’s hungry to eat the food of engagement

          But her past has awarded her with disarrangement

Past of her dark shadow

  Path to which all love is so narrow

    Her tender beauty is colored by faded linage
      Linage to which she have no privilege
        To her past she wan to leave the rest

          Rest to which she can never forget

Past of her imminent shadow
  Disgrace as a permanent widow
    She have carelessly invested the seed of regret

      Careless seed, her award of her sweet neglect

        Her conscience is flooded with pain of rain

          Her mind is swallowed by rain with no gain

Past of her mad shadow
  Future of her sad tomorrow

    She’s wasting precious time protecting her pride

      But no man wants to make her his bride
        She’s very desperate to be called ‘honey’
          But her motive is to get the money

Past of her memorable shadow
  Thoughts to which all dreams are borrow
    Empty smiles are the hope of her life
      Life indeed, a tension to be called a wife

        She’s an example of emotional choice

          And a warning to all who dream is to rejoice

As an expert poet, I'm always obliged to wite freely against my will for those hungred minds whose actions and emotions have created attractive intentions. However, 'Past of Her Shadow,' is truly a master piece that is dedicated to the conscience of individuals’ errors, especially ladies.

Thanks for the time!

Think and Rethink, African Youth!!!!

“We've got the man power, energy plus the passion. Lets us stop talking and start working.  Let us think and Rethink!!!!”

Thanks to Mu'azu Muhammad, of NYSC/MDGs, ‘Family and Community Life Reorientation (FACOR),  for making such a good point about the question of Youth Development especially in Africa, addressing the topic, “Poverty, Africa and the Question of Youth Development,” on the “Back to Mexico 2010 WYC African Youth Preparatory group (August 2010)” facebook page.

It’s true that poverty and unemployment are challenges that we faced as African youth. There are many if not millions of productive youth across Africa with great dreams and creative ideas that are very useful to our today's Development challenges.

If the question was posed a 100 times, "Can we just fold our arms and keep watching?" The lazy and sleepy youth would say a simple, 'YES.' But this is the good news, the think and rethinking strategies are the best. The success of Africa highly, if not depends on Africans. To reduce this slung of backwardness from our lives, we gat to make use of the opportunities that are available to us. And if we cannot find one, it is our responsibilities as Africa youth to create one.

We've got the man power, energy plus the passion. Lets us stop talking and start working.  Let us think and Rethink!!!!

Think and Rethink about this: Did Nelson Mandela stooped after he spent 27 years in prison on Robben Island (now a world famous tourist); Did Desmond Tutu quit the fight to became a heroic figure in the fight against Apartheid, (He also became the second South African to be awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize); or did Steve Biko refuse to be noted as an anti Apartheid activist,( who founded the Black Consciousness Movement, a movement which would empower a vast majority of the black population of South Africa?)

Therefore, every African youth must know that each challenge overcome in our age buys an admission ticket to a more victorious moment. We will not, we should not and we cannot stop this fight until the smiles of our various countries are enjoying the sweetness of our today's efforts.

There is no African Youth Problem. The problem is weather young Africans can create the courage, honor and determination to live up to the success of their cause of achieving Peace and development! "The past is a ghost," Bill Cosby remarked "the future a dream. All we ever have is now."

I support Muhammad when he wrote, "We can now engage them with different approaches of fighting poverty that are YOUTH TARGETTED and Youth driven, using the time we have now and upward." Let us finally join our hearts, hands and minds with productive solution in the the Mexico 2010!!!

Let us not do nothing, watch-out, POVERTY do murder!!

Your Opportunity to Help Liberian Refugees at Buduburam

Hello,

Thank you for your kindness toward refugees, like me. I know a lot of people really don’t care about people they have never met, but you have a very kind heart. Your encouragement is very special to me. But what can you do? I really don’t expect you to just give me money; that would be foolish. We do not need a hand out, but a hand up.

People in this refugee settlement have no hope. It is like a death camp here. No help with food, medical or even school for many of us unless we have the money. Many people cannot send their children to school because they are too hungry to study and even if they find a free school they still have to buy uniforms. Very few people have a job and even when we work we are not paid well enough to enjoy modern things. That is just the facts. That is the bad news.

We have some very good news! Along with Life Care Global, Inc of Florida we found a way for you to help us without it costing you any money at all and even save you money. We have a distributorship from a company with unique, high quality products that will help the environment while saving you money.

This will allow you to help us, your car and the environment--with money you would have given to oil companies. Of course it comes with a 100% guarantee. We have a distributorship that will bring us some proceeds and help you with the following:

• Save 10% or more on the MPG whether you drive a gas or diesel auto

• Reduce emissions by up to 30%

• Get your auto’s engine to run at peak performance & last longer

• All profit from this web site goes to help the people of Africa, here in the refugee settlement and the people of Madagascar who lost their government through a coup. Please ask me about how we will use the money to help during this time of extreme hardship here in Ghana and in Madagascar.

• This product has been used for businesses for 7 years saving millions for businesses around the world, much more effective than similar products made with alcohol. It really is unique and much more effective.

• An additional product line of nutritional products also available

• You may use the products as a consumer or become a distributor and earn a second income and get tax benefits for having a home business

I hope you will take a moment to look at the web site, and whether you would like to just use the product for your own use, or generate a second income for yourself, we hope you will support this project.

'What Can The Young People Do To Be Seen In The Rebuilding Of Liberia.'

German poet, novelist and dramatist, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832) said, “Great endowments often announce themselves in youth in the form of singularity and awkwardness.”

The term - Rebuilding - is usually used to refer to a constructive process of engaging all citizens in building social cohesion, economic prosperity and political stability in an inclusive and democratic way. As a passionate young Liberian, it is my delight desire to call to the attention of the Young People of Liberia the abovementioned titled: ‘What Can Young People Do To Be Seen In The Rebuilding Of Liberia.’ Among the hundreds of brilliant suggestion and solution, I’m going to address just few including:

• Trust: It starts from the family; and trust must be build and developed within the family so that members will learn to trust other people Young. LIB folks must learn to trust one another. Liberia will move forward, immediately when youth have the confidence to believe in the idea and work of one another.
• Community Initiatives: Group of young people who interact and share certain things as a group can achieve a lot. It’s a ‘Wake Up call,’ effortlessly contributing to making the environment clean, promoting Sex after marriage, initiating community radio talk show, empowerment forums, workshops and many more…. The essence of community initiatives is to help Liberia youth to Develop emotional bonds, Intellectual pathways, Enhanced linguistic abilities and Higher capacity for critical thinking.
• Promote the Liberian culture: Culture is a way of life, It has a powerful effect on a person’s daily life, It shapes us but we also shape culture. Who told us that Liberia doesn’t have a culture? We have a unique culture, it is very attractive and beautiful! It is the obligation of all Liberian youth to: learned, transmitted, shared, patterned and integrated the culture of Liberia. Stop asking ‘when’ and ask ‘why’ and lets go to work to rebuild Liberia! If culture is adaptive, we must adapt ours.
• Endorse the values Liberia: We are promoters! If you can promote it you can live it! The values of Liberia are abstract and shared ideas about what is desirable, good, and correct. If Liberian youth can commence the promotion of our Beliefs, Values, Norms, Mores, Laws, the challenge of ‘Rebuilding’ is hopeful!

· We should always look up to the elderly to be in position to start from where they will stop. They help in ensuring that the rights of the people are respected by advocating for them to the people in charge.

· "Youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow, but also the partners of today. ’’ As scholars have stated, "time is not evaluated by what has been harvested, but what has been planted".

• Responsibility: It is time that Liberian youth must learn assume the responsibilities that will help move the nation forward. This can start at homes, in schools and in the community.

• Tolerance: Does charity works? YES! We as youth of Liberia must promote the idea of acceptance. We should be taught how to accept individual differences and encourage others in the process.

• Crime And Crime Prevention: Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009, wrote, “1956, a major crime is committed every 11.3 seconds in the United States.” That’s about 54 years now. Liberia is not exceptional to an increase. To help rebuild Liberia, young folks must contribute to crime and crime prevention by obeying rules and regulations and promoting national youth policies and creating approaches that can help deviant behaviors.

· In previous times Liberian youth didn't possess the physical strength to be effective soldiers; this was what I realized lately. I read recently that, “World has 6.66 billion population among which 27% constitutes youth) are residing mostly in many-an-old age homes, orphanages, homes for the destitute, juvenile homes, individual families, and jails.” If young people want to be seen in the rebuilding of Liberia, we must take necessary steps and find new methods or revive old methods to avoid the above problems.

· I agreed with my comrade, Srikanth Chintakindi when he wrote, “Youth in order to make his/her country developed, has to sacrifice not only their lives by protecting their country at the borders but also has to protect from internal threats, and make the society a healthy place to live. It is possible only, if the youth realize to stay healthy by sacrificing selfishness, laziness, evilness etc., and by thinking dedicatedly for the growth of nation.”

Beating The Odds Of Hurry With The Ticket Of Patience

“Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.”

Are you convinced that the key reason of failure is rather the rushing, pushing, and running decisions we can make? Most of the heart hurting problem of this world could be solved if we excise patience in accomplishing our dreams. “The key to everything is patience; you get the chicken by hatching the egg—not by smashing it” [Arnold Glasgow]. Nathan Watson mused, “Trust your mind to think with time; patience is the key.”

A Dutch Proverb declares, “An ounce of patience is worth a pound of brains.” Jackie Sagner wrote, “It just goes to show that if you don’t fine success in one area, have patience and you will find it in another!” You will get no where if you are in the habit of speeding without considering the patience you need to do a perfect job. Sir. Isaac Newton said, “If I have made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention than to any other talent.”

The true achievements of a person can be seen by how careful they are not by hurry you can get things to be done. A Chinese Proverb asserts, “One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.” John Quincy Adams said, “Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” Bump up the speed of your life, what ever speed you taught was better of promoting your mental picture, add patience to help attain a good result.

Edmund Burke said, “Our patience will achieve more than our force.” The greater trouble you can cause for yourself is to ultimately give yourself a speed that will provide you no excellent result. In a Ghanaian magazine, The Cry, April – May edition 2007, Page 9, I read: “A Frenchman sent 4,872 letters to a woman asking her to marry him. She finally accepted his proposal but they got divorced after 11 months.” Is this what happens when you do not apply patience to a life time investment? If you escape one moment to apply patience, 100% of disaster awaits you.

Barbara Johnson said, “Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gear.” After inventing the light bulb, Albert Einstein was bold to confess by saying, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problem longer.” Take this advise, “The more patience we are, the more understanding we become” [William Arthur Word, from Trust for Living].

SEX BE4 MARRIAGE

Dedicated to the "Lets Talk About Sex" Radio Show

Sex before marriage
Makes two lovers stink and malnouriage
One sad smile at a time
Emotions are dragged into pleasure’s kind
It becomes silently sweet when she sadly smiles
But create more danger for him into a million miles
It controls the failure future of the heart
And rejoice in tearing two hearts apart
It is indeed, sweet in the brightest dark―
Brightest bark, as guilty pain splashes into the lovers’ ark
But sex in marriage, shares the smile of sprightly light
It deepens the admirable eyes to keep―
―Pouring the destiny of two lovers so deep
In marriage, it makes the two happy
Before marriage, shameful tears becomes very nappy
It is the diamond of the soul
A precious star of all achievers’ goal
Brilliant reflection demands its pleasure
The true feelings that love most treasure
Before marriage, sex is indeed frisky and risky
The disease of few minute pleasures makes it dirty but nasty
Wow unto lovers that continue therein
For the shadows of regret shall sleep within―
Deed within, weight of sweet-smelling mistakes to entertain
They shall surely smell the glory of emptiness
―Emptiness of sex torture and its factory’s recklessness
Ignorance will laugh at their abortion status
Poverty will respect their futile financial status
But for those who can date but wait
Will surely escape the painful hands of sex foolish pit!
