Trinidad vs Jamaica

Well well everyone making plans on boycotting Trinidad products well I for one am not interested in taking part in this 'new trend' think about it is it just recently that Jamaicans are seeing some sort of selfishness on the part of the Trinidadians? I'm not caught up in the hype and just because it's getting more focus now means I should join the line listen 13 days is just 13 days what happens after? Believe it or not people will continue to purchase the products.Why are Jamaicans not ready and willing to boycott American products? Some Jamaicans spend hundred of thousands of dollars to get a visa but then are rejected but they go out and complain and boycott all the favour products that Americans have in our country but then again would we even have anything left? We have strength for Trinidad however to plan this so called boycott. Listen to me Jamaica has far more problems than this boycott right now why don't we use the type to think about why countries are fighting us out and don't be quick to say they bad mind us because really truly what is it that we own these days that other nations should be envious of? As Jamaicans it used to be our natural resources our beaches our war, friendly people but recent events such as international doctors coming here and being robbed and our beaches being stolen, yes being stolen leaves me to wonder what are other countries really envious of? It all about education how many local made products do parents give their child each day?? For years we have been hearing that we should support our local brands but people haven't joined that line to do so but they are quick to join the boycott line right??? Come on Jamaica we need to go on focus on growing more of what we need and we don't need to have any boycott to let us know that this is the way we should go.

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...

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 ...
