WE SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE (GAMBIA)
In the midst of curiosity, and confuse emotions, we smoke without fire. It’s the desperate selfish moves of our actions, that hindered the growth of our nations. Our commitments are lacking because our believes in change is just an expression. We have some people who make noise on social media but distance their hearts from the real stories. We are quick to show solidarity but lacking the energy to contribute. When issues that interest us affects our lives, we want everyone to take immediate actions.
We have some people that would push you, but they’re not mentally ready for the change. And when we go to the ballots box 
we voted based on personal interest, not an individual with solutions to our crises. This is our motherland, whom many shouts about its sinking, but if we verify some people out, they’re either having personal bittersweet and haven’t built even a chicken house for its people. Our young men are matching out to the most deadly seas because of the marriage dowry fees and family pressures.
Opportunities are less for them to mount the household. But do you believe even with resources, our African people will stop the illegal migration? Since the theme of our mentalities haven’t changed, then never expect our environment to breathe that freedom.
In the world where Isra@el has forcefully attack Ga@za, while the world leaders are watching in a television. In a household where a beggar has been watched to suffer, the taxpayers struggled to pay their duties and the heartless holders are the ones being full of praises. It’s in the Gambia, that some people would probably gossip your brilliant work and hug you in the public. The moment that you distance yourself, you’re obliged with fake smiles.
My Gambia would approach you in dare situations, but within seconds of your rejection, the individual have forgotten your sweats. A polluted mind full of negativity, eyesight being glued with shortness and baseless arguments, whereas our fighting is secured with personal vendetta. Where our loved for this nation is an act of opportunistic seeking. How do you expect for us to redeem with one voice? We all know the nation’s problems but ignored the maintenance of the cost. Let me pet my generation with new ideas.
Match us towards goodness thinking and have a belief in their quests and missions. Let me thank my ancestors, for given us such a beautiful landscape, with an evergreen mangrove. Above sea level, the mouth of River Gambia banks to Futa Jalang Highland. Let me remind you our beautiful Tilapia fishes. Good for Benachin, Domoda or Okra soup.
The twinkle smiles of our people, the smiling coast of West Africa. I shall never rest, I shall never relent, I shall rebound, and I shall write to the last breath of my pen. Attitude change is our main concern. Join us on the 14th of December 2024.
We will organize the biggest intellectual convention conference, mount to review and revisit our behaviours. We need the support of everyone to make this event a success. Official launching of the Zero Waste Project. “OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR FUTURE.”
