Month: November 2016

Total deviation. Health issues but no Doctor. Just plain common sense. I sat in thought. I shrugged it off. I continued. It was all about me. I had little care in the world. Was it really about me or it was youthful exuberance? Yeah, some are untold stories but charley, a lot of the action was wrong. Today I am paying for it. Others are also in the same soup but Jah dey.
Very often in our lives, we take things for granted.
First, when we are young we engage in certain lifestyles thinking it is an accreditation for freedom. The “cut cut”, khebabs, drinks that we consume in the name of good living. No exercise. Staying up late doing unnecessary things. Above all engaging in worthless debates/arguments that only serve to serve as a catalyst to destroying our internal organs. We have organs in us that make the music of life. When those organs are out of tune, we fall sick. When they break down we die. Do you know we are different? That your metabolism is different from mine? That is why we don’t look alike but certain things in these bodies of ours work alike. Keep on reading. Do not stop.
Some are fortunate and decide from day one to lead healthy lifestyles. Some tune in along the way. Some of us too, we sit legs outstretched laughing at them. They will live long. When we depart at an early age, our people and friends will attribute it to spiritualism. Somebody in our village did vodoo on us to eliminate us they would say. I laugh. In this day of enlightenment, we attribute our stupidity and idiocy to vodoo. Ok ok. Do the right thing; live the right way and when something happens, then the fingerpointing can start. How many times do we go for checkups? In as much as we hear a lot of these ailments are hereditary, what attempts have we made at prolonging our lives?
Either it is an attempt to woo that lady or to siphon that gentleman’s cash off him like gasoline/petrol. It is in attempt to attend the most parties in a year.
I looked at myself today. I listened to my breathing. I am not happy. Very good friends constantly urge me on my weight loss journey. I have not adhered to my regime. I am the only one who can do it. Can you? Will you?
Email me. Text me. Let us motivate one another. Let us eat healthy. Let us do the right thing. Let us ask HE who created us to help us. Though we have the will, we need His strength to forge through. I want to still talk to you. I want you to continue reading and sharing my articles. I want to live. Healthy.
I love you.
Blessings Always

Ps. Never hesitate to ask me how I am doing because I will ask you too.

I have been observing certain happenings and finally, I will comment.
I really want to know why others find it difficult to understand the capabilities of others.. When one is in a position of leadership, they tend to overlook the very people who can help them attain their goal. Is it due to infantile brains or sheer inability to comprehend the abilities of others? Then again why do these same people think they are the epitome of knowledge? They prey on your brains and realizing you will not dance to their rhythm, take and hide the drum.  It is even sad when they hide behind the veil of Christianity and chant God’s attributes while committing atrocities to their fellow humans. What they forget is, you are smart. If you were dumb, you would not realize the questionable nature of their ways.
I beg. Please I know I am young but it does not mean I am stupid. Neither does it mean I am a walk over. I am able to think, discern and come to logical conclusions. In some instances, I am able to forecast accurately. I daresay, my principles and discipline has brought me this far.
Along the way some have christened me with the name “Controversial”. Others have baptized me with unprintable names.
Further along, good friends have “unbaptized” me.
As you read this article, Let me point out that some have said my writing lacks “meat”. I am poor. I love bones. Ride with me.
I admonish you to never let your guard down. Always stand for what is right. Never allow rhetoric to sway your thinking and principles. Remain disciplined. Never allow yourself to be put down. Never ever apologize for what you have not done.
Did I hear the word compromise? Use your discretion when it comes to compromise.
You can and must always think about those who rely/depend on you. Never let them down.
It is sad that ambitions make people think low. It is their sole aim to cajole, bamboozle and coerce the ignorant into acts that will not augur well for them.
Verily Verily I say unto you: Stand your ground; think and with the help of your Creator, YOU can be your own person.
I remain your humble servant #SILENTNOISES.

Very short. Just to provoke that thinking. The need to rewire our attitudinal thinking. It must start from somewhere. You!  Please enjoy:

The season is upon us. Thank we The Supreme for his Love. Make decent choices after reading. Even the adult.

Chaskele, Dikos, Alikoto, Gutter to gutter, Police and thief, )mooy3, Stay, Mami na papa ( Ghanaian games); these games never hurt no one. We loved to play them. How much did it cost? Moreover it created a sense of belonging and bonding. We learnt a lot of life’s lessons from these games. Some of us do talk about those days fondly.

Today we have Contract killers, executioners, and a host  of violent games I will not give credit to in this article. Now society is crying foul. I say do away with these video games. It is not the status quo. Do not buy them for your kids or yourself. It is a way of indoctrinating violence in generations. Buy decent video games if you have to.

I wake from my dream,
where I heard a scream.
…tried to drink all the cream,
and tried to look all trim.
Asked what I know about
Politics,
I answered nothing but
Tricks.
They feed off the ignorant;
encouraging them to rant.
They make them part with
their Senses,
As they look through their
Conceited Lenses.
I shudder in my thinking
but then it gives an inkling
what is about to Happen.

O! it is a dream or…..

I aim to motivate.
I aim to inspire.
I am unknown.
I no longer dream.
I do not hope.
I have Decided.
I will rewire attitudinal thinking through thought provoking articles and poems.
Follow me if you are not doing so.
Don’t be selfish. Tell a friend.
It’s all on http://www.kntemmensah.wordpress.com

I am #SILENTNOISES

These days it is easy to come across people dancing for no reason. Also the best place to get good dancers these days is in the church. There is total abandonment. There it is allowed for one to dance erotically while mentally ravishing one another. All in the name of the Creator. It is when you are allowed to do whatever you wish that you contribute largely without complaints, to the pastor.

In the beginning we heard he was full of ‘annoyance’ and had ordered the cedi to rise. He was so ‘annoyed’ that he overprayed. I daresay by this pastor’s powerful voice, today the Ghanaian cedi has risen and is enjoying so much freedom it is dancing. Not even a known dance but an amalgamation of dances being choreographed by our very own Mayama.

Why is the cedi running? It is simply gut wrenching. How? What happened? One dollar equates to four cedis fifty pesewas. Saaaajeewaa!!!! I am very sure by the time you read this article it might be nearer the five cedis mark. Before I continue , let me say this. it looks the cedi Is appreciating against the major currencies? Is it a fluke or is it for real? People in positions must finally be sitting up and working.

Investors and would be investors are crying. With the irregular power supply and crazy runaway cedis, investors are dancing musical chairs in order to succeed. They have become master jugglers. They prefer to dance with the black marketeers who have a knack for predicting economies around the world than the so called economists. The banks are clueless and are in a quagmire.

For me, I pray the cedi dances back to the starting point. If and if it gets tired and rests at its current location, Ghana will be in a deep hole. It has to come back. Make up a new dance that will entice it to come back. when you do pray, pray and ask and do not command by the power of your voice!

I am only a messenger.
I have come to deliver.
