Spider Thread Relationships Poem by Hebert Logerie

These days, most relationships
Are made of spider threads
The chains are fragile and cheap
Nobody can blame the dreads
Who seem to always tell the truth
For they could not care about roofs
Over their hair, that does not mean
That they're crazy, illiterate or lazy
Listen to the beats of the rastamen
Their dreaded hair is as strong as iron
Listen to the reggae beats, to the veracity
Of their words. Weak relationships
Are hurting too many people on the ships
Men and women ought to be more careful
This world is sick. This world is crazy and full
Of impostors, liars, criminals and backstabbers
Guess who are laughing now? The mighty spiders.
