The Woman

Sexy dresses, designer suits, expensive hair, golden shoes
Pointy finger nails, painted faces,bottoms evidently swaying as they walk
The woman has an image she tries to maintain each and everyday
Its in her hair, its in her clothes, its in her shoes its in her pose
Why isn't it in her voice or in her words??
The woman is beautiful and brightens up the world
The woman is beautiful and adds darkness to the world
The woman is scared, silent, weak and confused
The woman wants a change in the world but she falls prey to the evil in the world
The woman is loyal
The woman is disloyal
The woman stands by her man and guides him on the right path
The woman stands by her man and plans his way to doing evil
The woman calls the man a dog for his wicked ways towards women
The woman feeds the dog his bones and pets him and hugs him when he cries out for forgiveness
The woman has so much worth
The woman sits aside and accepts abuse the woman has lost her worth
The woman is smart she can be the best at anything she puts her hand to
The woman is foolish she gives up her education to help her man shine
The woman is religious she know God comes first
The woman is ungodly she puts God aside to keep the man she loves
The woman is peaceful
The woman brings forth war when she sits aside and allow her child to pick up the gun
The woman is a proud Jamaican
The woman destroys Jamaica when she washes the bloody clothes of her husband
The woman is gentle when she rocks her child to bed at night
The woman is rough when she sends her girl child to be pimped out by the area don
The woman is loving when she works hard to put food on the table
The woman is filled with hate when she she runs off with a man who promises her house and land and leaves her children behind
The woman is your mother, your sister, your grandmother, your niece, your friend
The woman is who I am today and who you hope to be

The Young are being murdered

The death of the young By:©Saccheen Laing I put on my uniform Armed with books I set out in search of a good education. Streets lined with the blood stains of those who fell on the way  I'm determined to live to see another day But I have no control over those who believe they can have their own way. Armed with guns and knives  They attack me, They assault me, They abuse me , Because they believe they have control over me Because of guns and knives in hand. In my hands I write my plans A singer, an actor, a doctor, a fashion designer or a police man  I clench my fist as my blood runs to join those who fell before  My plans remain in my hands Never to be realized I am young but that means nothing on this land. The blood of the young will replace the ocean that surrounds and beautifies the land How many more shall die before you answer when I ask why? My mother shall cry and bury her son before he becomes a man My brot...

Loving a black man that doesn't love me

Image source: Google Images His beautiful dark skin made rich from the earth, his physical strength supporting where I am physically weak, his beautiful smile and then the depth of his speech. In a world where the wrongs that he has done is spoken about more frequently than what is good about him. I see the beauty in black unions,I see the beauty in black souls connecting, I see beauty in being by his side. The issue is, he no longer sees beauty in me. We walk paths these days paved with the broken connections. Couples who once professed to be so deeply in love now pretend to not know each other. We walk paths  where you can pour the purest of love into the vessel of a man/woman and they remain empty. On one side, we have black men who believe that black women have lost their worth. They have lost the meaning of what it means to be a Queen. The black man believes that the black woman has wrapped herself in the labels that society has placed on her. The black woman is ofte...

Reimagining the Big Screen: How Palace Amusement Can Level Up the Jamaican Movie Experience

  As a Digital Marketer in Jamaica, how would I revamp Palace Amusement? Here are some of my ideas: 1. The History of Palace Amusement - Create a campaign highlighting where the company is coming from, where it is now, and where it will be. Speak to grandparents who visited at the start, and have each group share their experience. Tie these experiences in with a film of the time.  2. The Love of Palace – Many couples have had their first dates at the movies, sparking relationships that blossomed into marriages and lifelong love stories. This campaign will highlight some of these real-life romances using a black-and-white aesthetic to evoke nostalgia and emotional connection in a visually captivating TV commercial, which will also be promoted across digital platforms. The campaign will culminate in an in-person event where couples with similar love stories will be invited to a special screening of the romance movie currently showing. Brands will be invited to partner in creati...
