[Audio] As we reach slide 5 of this presentation, let's have a look at what Stephen and De-graft Aidoo wanted to share with us. In this slide we have a table of contents with the titles of 14 wonderful poems and their corresponding pages. From "Love is thicker Than Blood" to "One Out of The Two", their writing is full of passion, wisdom and courage to face our modern lives. With these poems, we will be able to reflect and better understand ourselves. So, let's explore what Stephen and De-graft Aidoo have to say to us!.

[Audio] A well-known saying states that love is thicker than blood. This emotion is indescribable, as it is much stronger than a magnet, and no one can ever ignore its power. It binds people together regardless of any external factors and, unfortunately, broken hearts can be an outcome of rejected affection. Nevertheless, it is a powerful emotion that will never cease to exist. It goes without saying that a wedding planner can make your special day even more memorable and special..

[Audio] Without our cooperation and understanding, our world will continue to be plagued with suffering and destruction. War does not discriminate and causes immense pain and loss of life to all, no matter the class, age, or gender of its victims. We must learn to rise above our worst tendencies and reject violence against one another. By doing this, we can create a world where love, brotherhood, and solidarity replace greed and hatred. We must strive for a peaceful existence in which we all act in unison to improve our society and enact positive changes..

[Audio] The disparity between the rich and the poor is increasingly evident as the world progresses. Through Stephen and De-graft Aidoo's poem, the reality of this unequal distribution of wealth is powerfully depicted. The poet portrays a poor man diligently struggling and sweating under the hot sun to survive, while the wealthy are blissfully unaware of the pain and hunger faced by those in need. The poem further emphasizes how the wealthy's greed leads to the impoverishment and anemia of those less fortunate, as well as how those who labor don't benefit from their own work. This thought-provoking poem serves as an apt reminder of the importance of joining forces and raising our voices to challenge systemic inequality. We must use our voices to make a difference, to bring forth justice..

[Audio] This poem by Stephen and De-graft Aidoo captures the hopelessness and desperation of poverty and homelessness. It refers to the people whose only roof is the sky, who have no home and are treated as outsiders with no place in the garages. The poem speaks of resilience in the face of adversity and the hope of one day receiving manna as a blessing from the one who brought them into the world. It is a reminder that homelessness is not the same as hopelessness. The poem has prompted us to consider the physical and mental health ramifications of poverty and the need to address them..

[Audio] The quote by Stephen and De-graft Aidoo emphasizes the value of celebrating diversity rather than creating divisions. Acknowledging our individual qualities enables us to strive for harmony. Moving on, we will look at the difficulties astronauts confront in space and the extra safety procedures they must follow to ensure their wellbeing..

[Audio] Sometimes we may feel fear of the unknown and be overwhelmed by the prospect of defeat. Nevertheless, courage and bravery are necessary. Even the slightest amount of courage and strength can make a huge difference. Everyone has the capacity to take on their own issues no matter how intimidating they could be. Through our voices we can call on our courage to confront our worries and aim for our goals..

[Audio] Analyzing the poem about the power of Knowledge and Wisdom, it is clear that knowledge opens many doors and helps differentiate between right and wrong. Without knowledge, it is easy to fall in the trap of ignorance, which can be deadly. It is also vital for those in power to be wise, as knowledge has the power to give strength to the meek. It is an invaluable gift, one that can never be taken away..

[Audio] The poem revealed the mystery of faith and the pursuit of one God. We will now analyze the current world that we live in, which has been greatly affected by the Covid-19 virus. These effects have been far-reaching and devastating. We will discuss the issues of unemployment, poverty, hunger, and inequality, all of which have been greatly highlighted by this widespread event..

[Audio] Humans are stronger and more successful when working together than when apart. Stephen and De-Graft Aidoo's Our Voices conveys the message that collaboration can lead to great progress. We all possess special skills and opinions, and when every voice is heard, extraordinary accomplishments can occur. We should remember that every voice matters and, together, each one can have an impact..

[Audio] No matter how tough the tasks may be, we must start somewhere. Real strength comes from inside, and can only be unlocked when we're ready to put in the effort.

We have to maintain a constructive attitude and use failure as an opportunity to learn. With all of us taking this message to heart, we will be closer to reaching our aspirations..

[Audio] We honor and remember those taken from us too soon - our loved ones, our family, our friends, and colleagues. No words can express how much they are missed and the sense of loss we feel. We take comfort in the memories we shared and continue their dreams that remain unfulfilled. We know they are watching over us and their spirit lives on. This is a difficult time for us, but we can honor them by recognizing their lives and the love that binds us. We are still connected by our experiences and the unique stories that made up their lives. Today, we pay tribute to them, remembering their laughter, courage, and resilience. We keep their legacy alive..

[Audio] We are responsible for making sure that our leaders fulfill their promise to serve the public. Everyone from local authorities to elected officials on the national level should be held to the same standard. We must scrutinize whether or not they are living up to the ideals they have articulated, and strive for actions that are truly beneficial for our society. Do they actually have the qualities of a great leader? It is up to us to act as a vocal representative of our particular communities, and foster a system where our opinion matters in the decision-making process. Let's make sure that our leaders serve us and not the other way around..

[Audio] As we look towards Africa's future with courage, we must acknowledge the immense potential that exists within.

In the morning, Ghanaians enjoy a beautiful breakfast accompanied by a 'waakye' from a food joint. Social gatherings are graced with the beats of Amakye Dede's music, while traditional drinks such as palm wine are shared among attendees.

[Audio] Imagine if the Earth had been knocked down by akpeteshie, but was then saved by a fountain of life standing beside the creator - this is a metaphor for the power of our voices. Our words carry a strong energy that can cut the rope of trouble, and we shouldn't underestimate the strength that our voices possess. They are a secret weapon that can be utilized in times of difficulty. It is wise to be mindful of the power of our voices and use them accordingly..

[Audio] Our voices can come in many forms - from providing much-needed relief, to being a small window into difficult situations.

With that said, we must also be willing and ready to take advantage of opportunities that come our way. It is up to us to make the most of our lives and strive for success. Victory may come quickly, but true success is something that is earned over time. Everyone has the potential to accomplish great things--we just need to put in the effort to make it happen..

Time bomb. The clock ticks and man expires. What am I doing with it?.

[Audio] This poem speaks of an important concept - that monsters too have hearts - which we can use to reflect on the significance of establishing effective communication systems within teams. What lies beneath the surface, no matter how hard it may seem, is a beautiful rose, a heart of gold that can be unlocked if we are open to communicating effectively. We can learn from this poem that even though people may come from different backgrounds and cultures, if we are willing to come together and have meaningful conversations, we can gain a better understanding of each other..
