Miracle
on the Atlantic Coast
is different from many books before it that usually recite
the causes and effects of perpetual poverty in Liberia and
other developing countries. This book, however, offers a new
Vision of Unity, Peace, Equality, Fairness, Justice, Hope,
Opportunity and Prosperity for all Liberians. As Liberia reaches
185 years since its founding and 160 years of Independence,
the time is now for each and every Liberian to fill our hearts
and minds with Positive Patriotism anchored by Love for God,
Love for Ourselves as Liberians, Love for Liberia and Love
for each and every fellow Liberian. This vision is a Vision
of Positive Patriotism.
With
a new Vision, the book implores Liberians to embark on building
a New Foundation for our beloved Republic since the foundation
that was built in 1822 has been destroyed and/or is obsolete.
The land, Liberia, is blessed with abundant natural resources
such as gold, diamonds, iron ore, rubber, timber and the necessary
manpower.
This
book lays out strategies on how Liberians can protect, unify
and professionally manage our country; marshal and develop
Liberia's human and financial capital, natural resources;
build new inclusive permanent functional institutions, eliminate
corruption, create jobs for the 85% of Liberians that are
unemployed today and bring about the rapid economic and social
development of Liberia.
Equally
important, the pages of this book offer practical strategies
and step-by-step implementation guides that will make the
new Vision a reality and lift Liberia out of the deep valley
of poverty to the great heights of prosperity! With Gods
help and Liberians hard work, we can turn Liberia into
a Miracle on the Atlantic Coast in less than twenty years.
Finally, the strategies in this book when applied carefully
can lift any developing country from extreme poverty to unprecedented
prosperity. -

'BULLSHITTER'
Written
by Thomas Harris
In praise of Liberias only walking sign board
Mr. PAYME T. WEAH
He
is not a Santa Claus
He is a bullshitter with a cause
He is not old man beggar
He has the swagger
To make a town take a pause
Who
is this man known throughout the land
Who is this tip top dresser a bullhorn in hand
Payme Weah they say is his name
Bullshitter!!!!! Bullshitter!!!!
The loud chant that depicts his fame
Do
son tan nyen mo
Sunday Monday Tuesday and Wednesday too
From Via Town to Dwala and Kru Town sand
Spreading his message like a one mans band
Across the bridge to areas far and near
Preaching to all without favor or fear
He is firm and frank
But from him there are no denouncements
Only information through live public service announcements
Payme
Weah, a bullshitter, and a teacher
Liberias narrator and a non-religious preacher
For decades he has been the poor mans radio
Live and direct not from a fancy studio

Liberian Spoken Words-----
