Month: October 2016

‘Servant of God’, ‘Man of God’ the archbishop, bishop, papa, whatever. Titles. God gave each and everyone of us brains. He made none stupid. When we as a people, sit and allow a person and or persons to massage our God given intelligence to assuage their swollen egos then, I beg ……..
Naturally, I should be proud and live by this statement made by this bigoted being since it favors the men. Apuuuuu! I promised myself, my wife would smile at all times. I would cook and clean and be a partner, not a boss. We sat in the same lecture rooms and received degrees on the same day. I saw her being cut three, yes three times to deliver our kids. My mother and aunties toiled tirelessly. I choose to defend womanhood. I will do it till my last breathe. In a novel by Aminata Sow Fall, women are seen as their own enemies. This is a Senegalese, African novel.
I don’t care when this speech was made by this man. It should not have been made. At all. It smacks of male chauvinism. The bible is being twisted just as the law is interpreted according to the judge.
Continue your defence of mediocrity; we, K Amigosten Amoah and others will continue to strive to remove the hooded blanket over your eyes.
Let the wise read and take note accordingly.
I remain, also a servant of God. He hath sent me.

#SILENT NOISES

This article was written in 2014.

Life is too short
Don’t mind me
I have never seen life
But you and I are life
I don’t care if you don’t talk
Nor write
Knowing that you read is enough for me
Life is too short
If then you choose to delete,
I would not know
In my heart I shared with you
That gives me happiness.
One life to live they say
And then
You only live once!!

Blessings Always
#SILENTNOISES

Part 1:

Take a deep breathe.
Be anywhere in any posture.
Clear your mind
Ask yourself. “What am I good at?”
You are strong willed and positive.
Are you a motivation to others? How?
Are you an inspiration to others? How? Fear is Courage.
Self Doubt is knowing what you are capable of.
Seek no one’s approval.
What is your goal?
Before you can motivate and inspire anyone, you have to do it for yourself.
Do not bow to the voices outside. Listen to yourself. Propel yourself to propel others.

Part 2:

More often than not, we ask ourselves why we are losing friends or why someone is gaining friends.
We have not taken the time to meditate on a few simple facts of life.. We are what people see. We are marketing ourselves every day we go out there. Just like you and I shy away from shoddy goods, so do true meaning people; discerning folk refuse to accommodate any whimsical characters.
Attacking people based on their beliefs and or principles is simply obnoxious. Some people do have what is called a conscience and simply refuse to do what is known morally and socially to be wrong. Some people simply refuse to take advantage of the ignorance of others to champion their personal gains. Our words are previous thoughts. These words then turn into action which in turn over a period become habits. If you did not know, habits eventually become Character.
Take time to digest this article and meditate on YOU. Meditate on your words-actions-habits-Character.
Your well being affects all around you. When your being becomes sick, you lose genuine friends. {please read article on Friends by same writer}.
I leave you with the words of Frank Outlaw “Watch your Character, it becomes your destiny.”

Blessings Always
I am #SILENTNOISES

The stadium was filled to capacity. Everyone was shouting themselves hoarse. All chanting one name. His name. He is a legend. Many had come just to see him in his element. Even those students, who were in the stadium but walking around its periphery, were now rushing in. The race would be over in just under fifteen seconds.
Runners on your marks; get set; POW!!! Crack of the pistol
The 200 meters finals would take place after the 100 meters finals. Two out of those running in the 100 meters would be running in the 200 meters finals too. This is going to be mad crazy.
The stadium was ablaze. He had won again. People were dancing with ecstasy.
Wait! What? Why? He won’t run in the 200 finals? What was wrong? Was he hurt? Why? Why? Why?
The answer was all over. He said he was out. Washed out. If he did, he would run on empty. He told his coaches the truth. He had nothing to give out at that time. He was empty. He had been bold to say it.
To admit when you are empty is not assign of defeat. It is rather a sign of a great person. Oftentimes we run on empty. Running on empty does not mean being out of ideas but also out of steam. The vigor/vim might have died down.
Know it and say it. Admit it. You are empty. You feel it. Anything could be the cause.
Tiredness; Lack of Support; Stress; Hunger; Gluttony; Lack of motivation; Incessant bashing.
I admit. I feel empty. It has been wonderful writing for you all. I will be back when I am full.
I take a bow! I am still and always will be #SILENTNOISES.
