But When Thou Doest Alms

There has been much ado about people giving recently to the various groups who are trying to help Haiti. We have seen radiothons and telethons, they have been individuals and individual charities. I have seen websites and so many other societies trying to get Haiti back on their feet again but in all that I see, I keep getting the same general message, who is watching me now. People seem to be giving for the praise of helping. I have no doubt that there are people amongst these that are giving with their hearts but the majority of what I see speaks of publicity.

Matthew 6:3
 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

Here is a bit of jestto take away some of the seriousness. I think my friend here took Matthew 6:2figuratively and got tied up.

But When Thou Doest Alms   Blessed are those who choose to give Use their talents that others can live They are a noble kind who choose to be   Working for others through charity Honorable is the name that describes this kind Earnestly they give with no ulterior mind No selfish desire for fame, no qualms   Therefore remember when thou doest thine alms Hypocrites who in the synagogues trumpet Out loud their charity so their action can get Unanimous applause and global  praise   Do not assume their devious ways Only in the streets will they have glory of men Eternal rewards do not await them in the end So let not thy left hand know what thy right hand may do That thy alms be in secret and only in the Father’s view   Alms is a noble cause and its giving must not attract Lots of attention, the littlest attention is welcomed in fact Make your giving then be noble and nobly live Support the cause vociferously but you must quietly give

 

And More Aftershocks

Every day there is more talk rippling through the air waves, spreading the unfortunate news that makes people think the worst. The greater consideration at hand is how we can lift the Haitians to their feet and let them live a better standard live than previously obtained. But all the rumors are starting to fuel into reluctance to help.

Mother, Don’t Let Me Die!

There are many touching stories of rescues that have been happening all week long. The rescuers continue to do their work to find survivors and have found some successes. The stories are not all told because most of the Haitians speak Creole, slang from French. I have enough trouble trying to discern what Bajans say so I wouldn’t even attempt to translate a foreign language. But even the barriers of language can’t hide the sorrow in the faces of these people and the ecstasy the show, should they find someone. The family here was elated to get back their 11 years old Haitian survivor.

Fille Anaika St.Louis Mother, Don’t Let Me Die!   My favorite niece was 11 years and loved to play Our little darling disappeared that dark Tuesday The old building, 80 years with its 5 stories came down Horrible thoughts surfaced when she was seen nowhere around Every person pitched in to search the rubble below Rubble was cleared by people I don’t even know   Dogs dug and sniffed then one dog started to bark One dog capably gave the searchers a starting mark Now men applied greater focus on this target place Then her well known cries came and in my mind her face   Little beloved was there cold, thirsty and in pain Eyes soon below staring and the rescuers fed her water again Then they saw left arm and soon too the right   My darling got her left leg freed but the right took all night Eventually, she was out of danger from the rubble and off to first aid   Doctors had futile equipment and we left betrayed In a rush we took my niece to the car, and she spoke about death Earthquake gave its worst aftershock when Anaika took her last breath

How Can We Expect

How could we who can’t fix the PSV, the Ports

How dare he suggest that because we can’t keep our homes straight we will not be assets to bring order from chaos elsewhere? I put to you the auto mechanic’s car – need we say more?

Across the border and far away they are still having difficulty controlling Universal Health care, Illegal Immigration, Drugs Trafficking, Human Trafficking, DUIs and much more, still they efficiently fight for the freedom of many, re-organize countries after disasters and wars.

How Can We Expect   How dare you compare Our inefficiencies with abilities to organize elsewhere When we leave home do we not often behave   Courteous to strangers and have we not gave Abilities never seen at home by our family Never heard people saying at work “He’s a different body!”   We have lots of standards we choose not to upkeep Even watch chaos slip in while we play “Bo peep”   Excuse me sir but I put to you Xenophile describes the weak and the unaware too PSVs and our Ports may not be in our control Eff you look at the US; Health care, Drugs, Immigration ‘though they patrol Can’t be controlled either still they jump to lead Those in disasters and wars if these countries are to succeed

Help Haiti Now – Hope

 I never know what to call poems that took on the same acrostic. Here I have written the acrostic poem using Help Haiti Now which is the local name given to the OCM public outreach to get the region to raise money to help Haiti after they suffered one of the worst earthquakes in living History. This 7.0 Earthquake as measured on the Richter scale devastated the Haitian city of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, January 12, 2010. The estimated casualties although revised from 100,000 down to 45-50,000 have been revised up again to 200,000 deaths and 250,000 injured with 1.5 million displaced and homeless.

Thank God Almighty

I want to acknowledge Martin Luther’s Day. This is undoubted a great day in the anodes of history and should never be played down. The problem is that the same freedom that Martin Luther Jr. believed it is not a universal thing and many other country men suffer. One such country is Haiti and now this poverty stricken nation has been met with one of the worst earthquakes in recent history. There is no earthquake in the last 200 years that had so many casualties.  At the time of writing this they were still speculating over 100,000 people died

Thank God Almighty   Today they celebrate Martin Luther’s Day but unfortunately Haiti’s tragic earthquake still disturbs everybody Any celebration seems wrong when Haiti suffers No one can help feeling remorse for our Haitian sisters and brothers Keep this thought dear friend close to mind   Give God praise, be positive and you will find Once you are faced with a tragedy Divine grace will give your heart serenity   Although they are gone they no longer suffer Life on this earth was cruel now they have gone to another Mortal man when he dies receives an eternity If he lives a righteous life then he receives pure ecstasy God has promised things beyond comprehension He promised that His people will inherit heaven Teach your love ones God’s will and His way Your joy will never be denied on another Martin Luther’s Day

Free At Last

The words of Martin Luther King take on a different meaning here. I have been writing about the earthquake in Haiti for days now but I can scarcely tire, as I write people are out there digging their way through stone, some digging in and some digging out. This 7.0 earthquake devastated the capital of Haiti, leaving it in many places just heaps of rubble. But there is hope even after 5 days, survivors are still being found.

Free At Last For three days under the rubble she stayed Rescuers dug above the area where she laid Every stone they moved brought greater hope Ears where caressed when she said send down a rope   And they did and she put it around her waist They pulled slowly but surely taking her from that dark place   Light shone brightly but she saw the smile A familiar smile from her dad who she hadn’t seen in a while She suffered during the earthquake but also for years past Thank God Almighty, she exclaimed, I’m Free At Last

Where Has My Girl Gone?

The Earthquake in Haiti was responsible for the lost of many lives. They say then people will survived the initial blow but they died from being caught and not able to escape to air, water and food. If we can rescue people soon enough then the death toll may not be as significant. Last night were learnt of a little 16months old baby that escape the ordeal by walking towards the light

Where Has My Girl Gone?   We had troubles before but never like this Had days turmoil but they ended with a kiss Every problem I swept under mats on the floor Resolutions this Old Years ended this, I hid no more Except the dust hides my girl now   Huge pieces of rubble separate us and no how Am I able to see where she now lays Such a horror it’s like the end of days   My hope was strong though my hands grew weak Yesterday I moved tons of stone and today I still seek   Got little energy left but hopes are strong I will keep ploughing these days long Rubble covers my girl like the mats covered  dust on the floor Looking around I see obscurity from the buildings the quake tore   Give me strength Lord I know she is here some where Only it’s all so endless this debris, this despair No sign of my two year old precious baby Shawn Earthquake, you’ve taken her, tell me Where Has My Girl Gone?
