Truth Cannot Be Derived From Beliefs
The acceptance of anything as true does not make it true
Your teaching is based on beliefs and hearsay
It requires proof to confirm your religious philosohpy
Knowledge can either be a fact, or it can be falsehood
A belief is the result of the absence of facts
Truth and belief are definitely not the same thing
You read or hear stories that nobody can prove
And you do not have first-hand knowledge of what happened,
Yet you proclaim that you teach the truth
People believe or doubt the things they do not know,
But if someone...

Valerie
I met a young African girl when I was 20 years old
Her name was Valerie and she was very appealing
I really liked her from the first time I saw her at the youth club,
But I wasn't confident of winning the love of such a fair girl
I’d only spoken to her a few times before I did a strange thing
One night I asked my friend to give Valerie a picture of me
The boy went to her home and gave her the picture
And he told her that I sent it for her
He said that she accepted the picture and she look at it and smiled
I asked him what her response was

Is it not true that you grew up in a community with many children of your age group?
Your parents were the first persons who introduced you to verses from the Bible
And they took you with them to church to study about God and His son, Jesus Christ
You and other kids went to school and all of you received the same level of education
When you became an adult, you chose to pursue a course in theology and Bibliology
But your peers were not interested in preaching, so they chose other professions
You convinced yourself that God called you to Christianity...

The Destruction Of The Kingdoms Of Mankind
I came back from the future to tell you the things that happened to the world
You will not believe me, but your future is my past and this is my history:
The tribulation began in the twenty first century and there was pollution everywhere
All the inhabitants of the earth were afflicted with misery, hunger and suffering
And the armies of the earth fought for supremacy and they massacred one another
The blood of the innocent ones that they shed covered the land and the sea,
But a tenth of the earth’s population miraculously survived the devastating wars
...

The Land Called Africa
Oh Lord, I want to go back where I’m from before my hair turns grey
Every day I think of my beautiful homeland that lies far away from here
I miss the foggy mountains, the wide rivers, and the sunny fields
My heart preserves the memories of the peaceful days of long ago
And someday I’ll return to the place of my origin, the land called Africa
Every day I think of my beautiful homeland that lies far away from here
I miss the foggy mountains, the wide rivers, and the sunny fields
My heart preserves the memories of the peaceful days of long ago
And someday I’ll return to the place of my origin, the land called Africa

Don't Do Me Any Favours
Your imagination tells you that your race is superior to others,
But in reality you’re not better human beings than me
All mortal men of dust should treat one another as equals
You think my life doesn’t matter because I’m a Negro,
So you abuse me and murder my children with impunity
What kind of person doesn't regard some persons as human beings?
The shade of my skin doesn’t make me a lesser man
Why does a white person have to stand up for me?
No thank you, ma’am or sir, don’t do me any favours
People who are prejudiced against me shouldn’t...

We depend on the system of law to give us rights,
But the law can suspend or take away our rights
And when we vote for a government,
We give persons the power to control and mistreat us
The job of political leaders is to serve the citizens,
Not to become deities for the people
It is not wise to designate someone as a master
No human being has superiority over others
The leaders of the world think leadership is Godship,
For they have a filthy and reprobate mind
The authorities do not know their limitations
It is presumptuous to play...

Threat Or Warning, Terrorism Or Prediction?
If someone tells you that you will positively die because of your gross wickedness,
But the person does not say he or she is going to kill you or let someone else kill you,
It is not a threat or an incitement to terrorism against you; it is a warning and a prediction
The sad fact is that everybody will die someday whether good people or bad people
We read about the prophets who warned the wicked nations that they would be destroyed
And the ruthless kings murdered the messengers whom they regarded as a threat to them
The prophets did not threaten anybody,...

Free Speech
Legislators tell us that free speech is a constitutional right of every citizen,
Yet they fight with one accord against the people who speak the truth
Politicians become so agitated when someone exposes their evil plots
They try to silence the persons who speak out against injustice and corruption
Furthermore, they even violate the rights that they say the citizens have
According to the education that we have received, what is free speech?
Free speech is the right to publicly express any views without censorship or restraint
This means that we...

The White Dove
Yesterday I saw a white dove feeding on the ground
How I hoped the bird was tame so I could pet it
I wanted to pick up the pretty little creature,
But the dove swiftly flew away when I went near it
How I hoped the bird was tame so I could pet it
I wanted to pick up the pretty little creature,
But the dove swiftly flew away when I went near it

Why Can Humans Not Get Along With One Another?
It seems to be impossible for us to live amicably with each other
The chief reason is that we do not have love in our hearts
Most people only think about themselves and their families
There really is no fellow feeling among mankind
Selfishness and haughtiness pervade the whole world
Adults display a me-first attitude, likewise children
Everybody tries to outwit and outdo others to become the best
Humans have neither patience nor understanding
A lack of the ability to reason leads to strife and contestation
We are intolerant of the...

Truth
The truth is neither in the heart nor the utterance of most people,
For they have a disposition to deceive others and to live a lie
