PEACE EQUALS LIFE

IMCS PAX ROMANA PAX GHANA PEACE PROJECT (PAGHAPP) MESSAGE FOR THIS YEAR, 2016

“The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end; I will keep forever my promise of peace. So says the Lord who loves you” (Isaiah 54:10).

Peace is a necessity. 
It is a prerequisite to every final decision and step that to be taken. What more could a community search for? We as a people can fend for ourselves, if they leaders (political parties) believe we need assistance in these days, then it should not be on disguised conditions. In those days and months past, they had much more room to have supported us to make our livelihood better. We know the difference between the sunlight and lanterns. Whereas they pretended not to have been aware of our various needs over the years, we cannot compromise now.

Please do not make the generation suffer your nuisance and negligence. Over the years, our leaders in Ghana have in one or another, maltreated and denied us the citizens of our better life conditions. Pride has eaten deep into the bones of the entire government, so whoever gets into that company gets affected. There can be changes that help to stop the decay and rots. And that is an act of injustice and infringement on our freedom and liberty to enjoy our good life. 

Brothers and sisters, we are not baits to be used to catch their fish. We can go to the sea but they have hijacked our equipment.  Let’s not be deceived by the evaporated milk they spill all over the place when we grew up surviving on breast milk. I meant to say, we have come too far to be misled towards condemnation. We have survived all the harsh conditions up to this day, so these baseless and weightless promises cannot sustain us far enough. The gifts and other things they display would never stabilize our life situations, they are the passing moments.

My fellow Ghanaians, if they intend to change our lives, they should have responsibly and selflessly begun when they were not demanding for our votes. Let us bear in mind that our vote is our Godly right. I believe elections are platforms to endorse the person who has been responsible and can continue to take full responsibility unconditionally to affect lives positively. Therefore, let us not follow blindly and sell our freedom to people who have rehearsed to exploit us. It is about time we stop jubilating for what is our right to possess.

Therefore, we the catholic youth from all the tertiary institutions in the country under the auspices of the IMCS Pax Romana, Ghana Federation; are reechoing the beats of every voice in Ghana about peace, peace, and peace everywhere in the coming election year. I believe we have ever experienced peace in our hearts. And so to continue enjoying such feeling that makes everything balanced in its position, let us restrain from actions and sayings that would stain such a wonderful peace.  

There’s no difference amongst us, all our names and tribes are for mere identification. Simply put, the blood running to and fro our veins is of one color (red) and so much evidence of the oneness we share. To everyone in the limelight, we know you know peace intimately. As such, live for it because it is divine from God to all men and women of all races. Remember that if you mess our lives up, God will mess you down.

Tattered Dreams

They played the part yet plot the pact. Instead of repair, they lead in the shadow to rip the earth; Our gods are not to blame but them. They have betrayed our ancestors, Posterity can wait no longer. Arriving from yonder, they have come to judge our every move, To the letter in every decision backing our move. Dear Mother, my honour is stained and tattered! To where has my father departed? It seems our collective dream has shattered, The pieces pierced our feet and bruised our skin. My siblings' wail but the elders make merry. Our village is lurking around wealth, But our daily bread is locked up in the vault. We dread treading the path to revolt, And gathering momentum outgrow our ill-health. This is not the future we dreamed of. Our dreams, precious like the mineral that has taken our place now. The elders paraded the corners of my street with pseudo promises. We’d believed for a moment but our springs quickly dried up, And they silently masterminded the raid to rip our homes...

Being the Victor

Facilitating a training session on  "How to benefit from Digital media as students and the need to promote PEACE as young people" My life is victory personified. My dad believes in winning against all odds. My mum always has her hopes up high and ready to accommodate the aroma of victory from the heavens. My sisters know that tomorrow is never promised until you win today. It means that each of us has our very own battles to win daily. We consolidate our little victories. Thus, the family defines what it means to live while knowing that grace is sufficient for us.  Till we succeed, we shall continue to persist through perseverance with our mustard faith.  We are not superhumans; we are the family and together we achieve a lot. In our peculiarities, we strive to communion in this journey while supporting each other. Reaffirming that in our weakest moments, we have ourselves. Yes, we are the family. Life, as it unfolds, has many facets to it. I am planning to tell my D...

In 2020...

We defied the odds. We make history in the present. 'Normal' is a thing of the past. Together means miles apart. Not all theories are not potent. The context is valuable content. Our survival remains constant. The reality means your breath intake is consistent. The wall is the law. A winning trump card is forbidden. And home shielded us from the omen. We understood that all things are possible. Although apart, we were more unified. Unquenchable flames were ignited in the youths. Productivity in our beds became the best option. We lived even when death looked us right in the eyes. The old generation came to appreciate the "demonic" technology. We realised profiteering was not the way of only the rich. The selfish attitudes of the yesterday are the survival tactics of today. The youth exuberance came with a new vibe. We held rallies and turned tables. We got beaten, burned, broken and barred. Then we were left with our dreams to wear on our sleeves. To all the fallen so...
