Bram - Di Lan Seal Poem by Rue Palmer

Bram - Di Lan Seal



Any day now, Monday, Wednesday,
or today Friday yuh, mi, or anybody
cant lose dem work.

Any day now, di public cant lock
down production bram! An' yuh old Joe
and everybody else must feel the sting
of dem damn modernize borrower.

Any day now, we can all wake up
one morning and fine wi house lined wit guard,
curfew, emergency all island ting.

Is like any day now, any ting
wha yuh or mi never think ‘bout before
can peep through the lining of the public eye.

Even though fi wi eye a young eye,
no know when salt fish a shingle house,
but wha wi know full a prime,
wi si sunshine a run motor car.

This is a really good poem. The meaning is clear, and the Jamaican dialect is amazing. The dialect is what makes it truly invaluable, especially since it adds emphasis on the cultural background of your poem. You did a very good job, and keep up the good work. You are a great poet.
