We was celebrating ten years as COM

when Irma decided te  come

Luis had come twenty two years ago

And Te was three years since Gonzalo

So we almost forget how hurricanes

Could bring we so much suffering

and pains

And also thought that none could

be worst than Luis

For from since then we have

Build  soo strong that we could

resist

And we would last  much longer 

Dispite the ruffness of the weather

But Irma was not the ordinary storm

For she was nothing within the Norm

Irma was on a mission

For she had receive special

Instruction

And she need to teach we a lesson

on this our tenth  year of celebration

what we  fail to learn in Ten

years

Irma would teach us in couple hours

Now two months have pass

we had the visites

of ah Presidents

of crying ministers

and even the King

But that didnt change

Ah Thing

we still getting wet

and we aint get no help yet

This is the worst eleventh

of November

That Saint Martin have ever suffer

Now they say Christmas is coming

But even for Christmas we cant spend

Cauz in we name we dont have  one cent

For they putting the Money on ah card

That yeh only could spend it  on the

French side in their Yard

Some how ah feel that

help is not on its way

but that it have arrived

yesterday

but some body

is hiding it

from we

so that they can take

advantage ah we

And  that they and their merchant

friends can make more money

Dear Editor,

  To understand life and to establish a good quality life it is important to understand the nature of man or yourself. Most people live and do not understand who they are and why they do the things they do. They do not understand why they love to sin. The nature of man is to sin. To explain it clearly without God or living pleasing to God, man will surely destroy himself. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that you should.

  The sinful nature of man will defend sinful acts, that is why a man will defend the sin abortion and call it a woman’s right. Man will defend homosexuality and call it an alternative lifestyle. They will call adultery and fornication a good feeling and a natural part of life. In the past, man was given a choice to be obedient to his Creator God, and he did not. That action of disobedience establish the curse which is called sin and from then on and up to now the curse continues. What is the solution to cure the curse of sin? The solution is the same choice is given to please yourself or to please God. Man is not capable of ruling himself and if he does not accept that he will destroy himself. Your mind or man laws or positive thinking or being put in a good environment cannot change you or save you.

  Adam and Eve were in a perfect environment and they disobeyed God and was the curse. The Creator made man for one purpose that is to please the Creator which is God. The more we distance ourselves from our Creator, the more certain it is we will destroy ourselves. Making more laws for man cannot and will not change your nature. The man has to choose for himself to do and be good, and it only can be done by crucifying or denying your feelings and passionately willing to please God your Creator.

  Choices have consequences. It is clear now that the nature of man is destructive. The decision to choose good (righteousness) or bad (evil or sin) will have a life-long consequence in your life.  Choose wisely. Do not be a fool! No politician can make your life better, only God can. Look at the damage our so-called leaders have done to St. Maarten. Our politician is a clear example and proof of the destructive nature of man.

Dear Editor,

   God is in control. Please help the people to rise, they are hurting.

   I am one who is hurting for more than a year. I know what it is to be homeless and like I say to the people and Government, turn away from the things and help the people before it is too late.

  Turn to God. Do as Jacob did. He would not let God go until God blessed him so he knew what to do, help his people.

  All Ministers, get together and help your people. We don’t need flags or roads, we need schools, homes, food, jobs and people’s piece of mind. You know what it is to not have a place to sleep or food to feed your children. What it is to only have power.

  Put God in the midst of everything. We are in big trouble I give my life in God’s hands and I would like the people, before they think to do everything, trust in God. Challenge Him and He will see us through.

  It is very hard to see all you worked for is gone and the Government is out there breaking up instead of getting together and helping the people.

  Lord, when is this going to stop? It should have been all hands on deck not the other way around like again I would say this is all about color or power.

  Please, in God’s name, Government, stop calling names and help the people, the elderly, the family who are homeless. Call for a day of prayer. Call all the churches in and the people of St. Maarten to come and pray so the Lord can take control over our lives before we have something worse than Hurricane Irma or Maria.

  I am begging for a home because I was homeless, but my Government didn’t help after 45 years I gave my whole life to.

  Now the rest of my life belongs to the Lord. I am holding onto His hand. He will see me through. And, people of St. Maarten, trust in God.

  I am asking again for the Government to please help the people who can’t help themselves like me who can’t help myself.

  Hold onto God and don’t let go.
