THE MASK

The mask I wear is the face you see
The mask is so happy, so full of life
The mask I wear has eyes that look like they have
never seen any evil
The mask I wear has a smile so beautiful
The mask I wear covers the truth
The truth of how my life is nothing but darkness
How i think before I go to sleep
My body aches in pain with bruises
How I cry myself to sleep
How I'm told everything is my fault
How I tasted my own blood
How the one who tells me they love me
Turns around and causes me pain
The mask I wear hides the pain
The mask is the face you see
Till I become strong enough to stop the pain.

Mohammed Ali was cover with mask of popularity, but death will unmask us all someday.

Humans have achieved huge growth in the short term and long term. Thus, whoever  saw the new comer never taught it will be this magnificent. Even the pioneers of this new regime are perplexed at this move worldwide. But it seems history wants to repeat itself and if we willed, history will give no discount. As a fellow, I cannot give people food or clothes – but I can try and offer some knowledge,thereby helping to level the global playing field. If this empowers even a handful of additional people to join the debate about the future of our world , I have done my part in this journey. The proclamation of this new era is intended to cause bewilderment to the individual not shouting on the street proclaiming, “the Apocalypse is here”. This journey is intended to explore information technology and biotechnology now, in the future and how we arrived at the point. My focus is on current affairs and on the immediate future of human societies. What is happening right now? What are ...

A CLARION CALL

The clarion call sounded A sound of heartbreak Why keep mute Why should sons of the land Devour the land And live a merciless land at hand Its lips tremble for water Its eye seek for a bosom. A shattered grain of hope The bemoans of the land. Did i tell you i was dumb? Cried out the son of the land. Dumb not are you but like two silly lambs do you follow ignorance Be perturbed be vigilant The land is ours to make Jane Nichole Asare
