The Head is Shaky

 Hey everyone been away for a couple of days  but I 'm back!!!


   This morning I was watching Smile Jamaica on Television Jamaica (TVJ) as I always so however this morning the leader of the opposition Andrew Holness was was on and on this occasion I saw a calm and collective side to him, in his natural habitat away from the jungle of the parliamentary discussions and there was an absence of the blame game.There is rarely a day that goes by that we aren't face with the usual arguments between the two major political parties that head our country when this usual battle is missing it is viewed as a good day. The blame game has become even more present these days due to the infamous term IMF in our country now its on the lips of majority of Jamaican's.
    I find it so upsetting because when the JLP first got into the IMF dealings the PNP was in strong opposition, when the JLP wanted to borrow funds from the NHT the PNP again was in strong opposition yet still they are now all for heading into these directions. Confused or too talkative?? so much so that they will talk themselves into a dark corner. "If the head is shaky the body will together" this sums up the Prime Ministers current position she is simply just barely standing, shaking in the wind. I'm also baffled by the fact that when sporting events are coming up the money is always so forth coming and overflowing but the Student Loan Bureau can't find money from here there or anywhere. Priorities, priorities our country doesn't understand priorities. When students fail in school the teachers are always the first to be blamed then why should we hesitate to blame the leader of our country when our country is failing? Why continue to fight so hard to gain the leadership then do nothing wit h the opportunity given. Is it just about the power and just the glory of saying I won because that's how it is coming across to the citizens of Jamaica.
     I believe until the leaders of our country start acting like leaders and take their responsibilities seriously the body our country will fall together because of  a shaky head. The country indeed has faced many problems before our current leader was given the opportunity to make a change but effort goes a far way rather than the mere words and words and rumblings and blame game that she continues to echo from her mouth.

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...

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...

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? Street lights come on at night and our window lids we shut tight tight No kids on the street, no time to meet and greet Why can't we no longer walk at nights? Why we don't have no peace? Police men guard the streets  Kids run quickly pass them not sure if they police or just undercover gunman and thief Thousands complete their university education but student loan awaits them in every gleaner publication Jamaica is such a beautiful nation, nice food and nuff happiness and sweet jubilation Wait a moment and turn the  TV off the international station Turn the dial to our local station No more happiness and sweet jubilation Blood flowing in the streets of poverty and ever increasing destruction You have the answers? Tell us how we need a change in politics Five years time and we still have the same corruption  You tell me to smile because better must come I ...
