Poem

Are we imprisoned?

Imprisoned in the cell of society

which has affected our minds heavily

not allowing us to think of things through.

Society has dictated what to wear what to drink

how to live and what to think.

Are you kidding? society has dictated when to love, give thanks, 

when I give a gift

society is a massive rock I wanna lift.

Are we imprisoned in Society

this life ain't right for...

Society has taken an essential tool away 

and that is our freedom, 

of everything that could be left behind

we leave our most powerful tool and that is our minds.

I wonder if we'll ever find our minds so I can rewind society's bind

I can no longer hear, I can no longer listen we're imprisoned in societies' system.

God Help Us Amen

#Copied

As we go through this theme in TLF for the rest of this month and indeed for all time, recognise the people who "imprison you" figuratively. 

I thank everyone who fights to keep people justly out of prisons – of the cell, mind, religion, tribalism, status, finance, ritual and class in this life in one way or the other through words, deeds and prayers. I am honoured to also do so for others. There is also a special place for all those who do so for Tina Tobo & Associate, our sister body. When we keep in mind those who love us there would be no room or place in our lives for injustice, discrimination or hate. We preach love, we practice it, we pray for it. God is love.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
