WRITTEN AND SUNG BY (ME) CLAIRON HAYNES PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT
It's April 23 and I turn 44, I feel younger than before. When I walk I feel spring in my hips, I'm all that and a bag ah chips.
Forty four and younger than before, Low self-esteem I done kick out meh door. Jehovah HEALED me on May 3, 2014, Delivering me from that witchcraft queen.
She thought she could ah TURN ME HOMELESS, But God Jehovah Healed me from her mess. Now I live a life I never lived before, WISER AND YOUNGER THAN BEFORE!
He put back the peps in my steps, Gave me wisdom more that the sea's dept. Walls of pride have been torn down, My face now wears no frown.
Many wonder why I am happy so, Jehovah shields me with His RAINBOW! 43 years of TURMOIL AND PAIN, Almost kept me insane.
Ha ha 44 births PEACE AND HAPPINESS, Lots of love and cheerfulness. Meh nah have time feeh foolishness, Time feeh plant so meh could reap SUCCESS!
Up the ladder to prosperity I climb, I believe NOW is my time. A time to sow and a time to reap, Piling my SUCCESS in one heap!
Jehovah is now at my driver's seat, Now he's in control my life is SWEET. Foolish me drove my vehicle for 43 years, No wonder I'd seen so much chaos and tears!
He gave me a heart of HUMILITY, Caring not only for myself but also HUMANITY. He teaches me how to LOVE without partiality, And gives me a burning desire to prepare souls for eternity.
Earthly things don't bother me anymore, I am more spiritually inclined than before. These things only last but for a time, When I die I can't take with me one dime!
So I store up treasures that are ETERNALLY oriented, This mission I will remain dedicated. Lord help me to be a BLESSING everywhere I go, So in eternity I can reap the good see I now sow!
Wiser than before, I don't listen to GOSSIP anymore. My time is spent focusing on the positive, No room up in here for the negative.
I surround myself with only great minds, Little minds I done leave behind. Catch the smoke from my muffler, I don't look back to see the loser!
I was born TO WIN, My top in mud I will not spin! I keep my head on my shoulders, And watch out for the backstabbers.
Nah ha time for PHONY & FAKEYS, If yuh nah GENUINE nah bark up meh alley! I AM ALLERGIC TO fakes, So nah badda come hold yuh brakes!
FORTY FOUR & YOUNGER THAN BEFORE, Stress and heartache better hit the backdoor! The body of a SWEET SIXTEEN, Ha ha I am MRS EVERGREEN!
I have no REGRETS, Experiences my LESSONS no time to fret! I have just what Jehovah intends for me right now, In contentment I humbly take a bow.
Lord THANK YOU FOR 44 PRECIOUS YEARS, Lots of HILLS, MOUNTAINS, PLAINS, AND VALLEYS. I WONT TRADE MY LIFE FOR NOTHING, "cause each year taught me something!
44 and beyond as long as God keeps me here, I'll live my life without any fear. Why worry when God takes care of me? His grace and mercies daily I see!
44 and younger than before, A reminder JESUS is right at the door. I now live to meet Him face to face, I look forward to my SAVIOUR'S sweet embrace!
As I flipped through the pages of 'POINT BLANK HEART SLASHES' by Curtis W A Williams, its content captured my undivided attention tightly in its grasp. I felt honoured to have this book by a fellow POET from my country SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES in my collection of poetry publications. A published poet, I realized that God expects me to be supportive in the capacity of writing an honest review in an effort to spread His grace for the betterment of humanity in the literary sphere of things. There are a total number of TEN (10) poems in this book. They are written in a linguistically simplified manner that the ordinary person can comprehend. This is quite noticeable by his use of a more concrete approach with little or no degree of abstraction, clearly indicative of the fact that the author is well aware of his target audience which seems to include persons from all reading levels. The mood conveyed in each poem is different. No two poems sound the same. This demonstrates a unique skill set in poetry writing that leaves no room for redundancy or repetition. His phrasing, rhythm, nuance, and his use of figurative devices are unique to each poem. The author has a voice that utters with a strong sense of passion and conviction. It is amazing how he was able to fuse storytelling and poetry, skillfully transforming himself into the person that experienced those situations his work chronicles. His writing seems to swing into a spiritually philosophical direction. REVIEW OF EACH POEMS
SPARK 1 - Dark Room Development (An Introduction to CORININAR) from "Who? ME? Honesty?" This poem is my favourite. Its short lines are enticing to the eyes, coupled with rhythmic beats that stimulate the reader's insatiable appetite. The author engages the reader in a sustained session of "WORD PLAY" arousing the mind phonetically and semantically. The use of the same letter in the initial position of the dominant words in each CATCH PHRASE is quite appealing, having the potential for being SONGS, BOOKS, PLAYS, ETC. The message in this poem makes you realize that in order for us as humans to fulfill God's divine purpose for which He created us we must experience some pain along our way as part of our preparation process. Its seems quite vivid that the author has personally experienced those prerequisites for success in order for him to arrive at such PROFOUND realizations/statements. This type of writing is only brought about after in dept introspection of oneself. SPARK 2 - Skunk - Reputation This poem received the WOW FACTOR in my opinion. Although the lines are extremely long the first line drew me all the way in until every neuron engaged.This poem forces the reader to do a quick check and balance to see whether or not he or she is aware of the purpose for which he or she was created. The reader is reminded that he or she is an imperfect human being who should not be too hard on him or herself, and that with God's help it is never too late to get back on track to fulfilling that purpose. So many person have lost their focus from distractions in life and need this timely reminder. SPARK 3 - One Day With No Agenda The author reminds us of the plethora of things a person can create while being hospitalized. Rather than moping and complaining about his discomfort he suffered from being in this depressive environment he chose to kick his creativity in full gears. Who would have thought that he would have found the desire to compose songs and poems during his difficult ordeal? This only goes to show that creativity is not confined to a given physical space. SPARK 4 - The Cost of Your Stubbornness Poor parenting is showcased in this poem. The author shows that parents are the mirror that sometimes reflects the outcome of children. Most of them fail to model Christ to their them. SPARK 5 - Poor Christian: A Serious Joke The author highlights several situations and questions whether or not they play a pivotal role in the mindset which most Christians seem to have that "being poor is safe." However he makes the reader draw the conclusion that God does not want his children to be poor. SPARK 6 - Times-Ah-Ticking The first line sets the tone for the rest of the poem. "Seconds into minutes hours into days." Right away the reader is brought up close and personal to stare the quick passage of time in its face. This can be scary at some levels as I immediately thought of the times I have personally wasted on things that aren't relevant that may lead me to feeling a sense of regret when my goals are not accomplished. SPARK 7 - Your Stage This poem forces us to be mindful of the fact that one's chronological age doesn't always give a true reflection of one's stage of maturity and readiness for certain situations in one's life. People seem to bloom at difference stages of their life. The reader is reminded to embrace his or her individuality, and live life to its fullest. SPARK 8 - From Among Thorns A Rose This poem is the most metaphorically charged of them all. Although pregnant with some abstraction, the imagery it makes is crystal clear for the reader to see SEXUAL MOLESTATION of an EIGHT-YEAR old clearly. Tears gushed down the lining of my heart when I realized that this person is still carrying around a sore from this scar. This will resonate with many readers as they may know a person who might have gone through similar situations. SPARK 9 - She Knows She Is The One The author serenades the ladies with a love poem chronicling the qualities and traits that qualify a certain young lady to be his potential bride. I was mesmerized while reading this and hopes he recites it to her on his wedding day. SPARK 10 - My Rose The author reechoes his sentiments in SPARKS 9 relative to finding "THE ONE" as he likens her to a "ROSE" in this instance. While he is waiting patiently for her he makes it clear that he is occupied with the work of God his Creator.
Written by Clairon Haynes 2006 in the EDITORIAL AND COMMENTARY COLUMN OF ==> MONTREAL CAMERA ==> A newspaper in MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA. Unity is a term that is frequently used each time I listen to speeches made by Caribbean politicians. Sometimes I question whether or not they truly understand the full dept of its denotative and connotative meaning. As leaders of our nations, it is incumbent on them to practice what they preach. Should the citizens take their offices and model unity for them? How could we as a people obey their plea for togetherness toward nation-building when they themselves fail to show solidarity? We are an archipelago of islands that, for centuries, has earned its name as the "TOURIST GEM." Is this all we want to be know for, or do we want to stretch beyond our limited size and space to construct an entity that can withstand the boisterous economic waves that swing in our direction? Most islands are "INDEPENDENT" states. Hats off to them for being courageously able of running their own affairs. It is highly commendable that they are able to maximize their limited resources well enough to the extent of commanding economic stability. Let us pause for a moment to think of the benefits of forming the UNITED CARIBBEAN STATES. Our voice will be better heard at major global governmental bodies such as the WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION. Our single dollar will stand extremely tall against the giants similarly to those of Asia, Europe, and neighbouring United State of America. Not too long ago I heard whispers of the idea of a United North America, linking developed countries such as Mexico, Canada, and the USA. The reason for this speculated notion of unification does not seem a necessity since they all possess relatively booming economies. This is indicative of the fact that they are not blind to the fact a sense of cohesion will assume a better chance at competing effectively in this dog-eat-dog economic arena. What about us? Aren't we third world countries with "STRUGGLING ECONOMIES?" Are we merely talking the talk instead of walking the walk? BLACK STALIN REMINDS OF UNITY THE WAY TO GO
Are we so consumed by the ease of life such as the golden sunshine, white sand beaches, peace, tranquility, friendly people, and tasty food that we fail to realize we are being left at the starting line in the race for unity? CARICOM? Is it just an organization SITTING IN BLACK AND WHITE? Is it where our quest for REGIONAL UNITY begins and ends? LIKE #CARICOM OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE ==> https://www.facebook.com/caricom.org CARICOM WEBSITE ==> http://today.caricom.org/
What is our problem why aren't we yet in the race? Could it be that the primary deterrent to unity is FEAR? If the answer is yes then it locked us into its box and threw away its key. Is each country fearful of losing SOVEREIGNTY? Is this the issue or is there more to it? All desire to lead and none wants to follow? Should this be the case then this mentality dims our focus and prevents us from being able to see where we are going as a region. Listen to theCARICOM Official ANTHEM==> https://soundcloud.com/caricomorg/michele-henderson-celebrating-caricom The only hope for a more prosperous Caribbean is through UNITY. Yes you may say we have the UNITED WEST INDIES CRICKET TEAM already, perhaps the only GENUINE UNIFYING FORCE. Those moments will forever be cherished when the islands are represented at TEST or ONE-DAY SERIES. For once, not about Barbadian, Vincentian, Trinbagonians, or Jamaicans, but WEST INDIANS. Sad to note that after this short lived fairy tale experience we are back to the woods where we are again ranked according to our size and power, arguing who is better than whom.
It is time for us to awake for our sleep and slumber, shake off the dust of miniature thinking, and with BOLD AUTHORITY step into UNITY. "IPA CALYPSO out of SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES sang years ago of the dire need for Caribbean unity. ==>
By Clairon Haynes In these challenging economic times it is important for our citizens to think outside of the box and find creative ways of generating finance in a legitimate way. Gone are the days when the possession of a white coloured job was sufficient to be the sole breadwinner for families. A lot of factors have changed the game. Prices keep skyrocketing by the second, by the minute, by the hour yet those pay checks/salary seem stagnant as if stuck at the same place with crazy glue. Welcome to the era when having several irons in the fire at the same time economically is a must. Our 5th feature is DAMARIS MARTIN of SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES. Contact Number: 1-784-528-1978
Damaris Martin is a CERTIFIED school TEACHER from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (Caribbean). She graduated from the Mountain View Adventist Academy (MVAA) and the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Teachers' Training College. She holds a BACHELOR OF EDUCATION obtained at The University of West England. Recently she has launched her entrepreneurial venture TOPLINE CHIC trading in women's clothing and accessories.
HOW TOPLINE CHICK ALL STARTED
From an early age Damaris took keen interest in clothes and
in dressing neatly and with sophistication especially for church. She and many
others like her therefore found it frustrating shopping for clothes since the
majority of what was sold in the stores did not cater for church goers. To her
that was a void that needed to be filled but never thought of her as the one to
do it. Not being able to purchase the type of dresses she desired
at home she resorted to having her sister buy and send some “church clothes”
for her. A brief illness around that same time however resulted in some weight
loss. When the clothes arrived, they were inevitably too big for her. So there
she was, stuck with a closet full of new, ill-fitting clothes. . She showed
these clothes to a few friends who were keen to buy them and at that moment the
idea for Topline Chic was born.
CUSTOMERS WEARING TOPLINE CHICK CLOTHING
Those who bought the clothes expressed a desire for more
“church clothes” and she decided to take that step and begin a boutique that
caters to the need for conservative yet stylishly elegant church clothing.
She took her plans to God and after much prayer made her
first orders. One morning after devotions, the idea came to her that she should
pay a tithe on the sales even before she realized a profit. She believed that
was God speaking to her and so from the very first sales, even before making a
profit, she by faith paid a tithe. She believes that God has been the driving
force behind the establishment of Topline Chic and trusts that by His grace it
will be successful. She intends to expand the product offered but for now
Topline Chic caters for women sized 4 to 26. It offers stylish yet affordable
clothing, shoes and bags.
DAMARIS WEARING HER LOVELY OUTFITS
Out of adversity comes opportunity is the way Damaris
describes the beginnings of Topline Chic. She is grateful that in her moment of
adversity she was able to take hold of the God given opportunity to provide for
others even as she provided for herself.
Location: Right now it is located at my home. (Started late
last year so it is in its infant stages you can say)

It is the brainchild of effective marketing. A recognition of its pertinence to a successful entrepreneurial venture is what inspired this fourth (4th) feature for our BLACK HISTORY MONTH campaign.
