The Death of Women




Beautiful skin, soft kisses she brings
A voice that can take the worse pain you feel far far from within
Didn't you have a mother as you grew up? or even a grandmother or sister that loving and protecting was a must
If anyone should stare at them too hard you would jump up and make them feel safe
Then who are the ones who slay the flesh of the young?
Who are  those who with death in their eyes part a young child's legs and watch the innocence die
Don't you remember when your mother would kiss you at nights?
Or made sure you had something to wear or eat 
Even if you had no mother a woman's touch could do wonders

Respect has left the heart of men
Seems a woman is nothing more than another vessel to invade and conquer
Will it ever stop? The question lingers
Rape is the word that we hear ever so often
These men are weak but are the leaders of our country strong?
Silence they bring as if nothing is wrong
Change we seek but the leaders continue to sit,meet and greet
Men are supposed to protect,love and care for women
Instead, with one rape victim after the other protection turns into fear
Women are the victims but some sit and say nothing as their boyfriend or husband come home with  blood stains on their hands
They wash them off and nothing is felt
As those same hands they use after to tuck their children in bed

If we all keep silent,when will it end?
When you rob all the children of their innocence what will the future look like?
Leaders wake up and see that something needs to be done
The Land of wood and water is now a land flowing with innocent blood of our loved ones

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 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 ...

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...
