On Jamaican Debt: + (10) Poems (Poem 10) Poem by Poetical Analysis

Breathe in, inhale

Hold

Release

Scales have been pulled upon our eyes

Our children are forced to live our lives


From the 5th World Eden we had founded

The time has come our voices sounded

This war declared & carried out

Its time we face what it’s been about


Our warrior sons have been turned to crime

Our mothers are forced to raise them in grime

They have made an Israel & England to emulate Jamaica

This is why the 1st World hate Jah


All that treasure they stole was not to be rich

Not just to adorn that fascist bitch

But to tie them to us as they are dead

To convince us it matters at all, what they’ve said


When this veil is raised & our children rise

We will clean the Ocean, embrace the Land, & clear the Sky

If Jamaica fails, the Empire will continue to rape US

They’ve made this simple, we take them or they take US



Their gods are nukes, germs, & chemicals & they will never betray them

So it is left to our people, for life, to slay them

While they bomb & shoot us & bury US in mines

Our Music will disarm them & change the times


We have died to sing & dance

The only medicine to destroy the Empire’s trance

So we shall move our Mother Earth

To save her from this terrific curse


Arm your weapons, send out your drones

The time has come to renounce the thrones

Hear Jamaica, look into our face

We shall remain stewards for the human race
