Jamdung


The news comes on one,two, three lives gone again in a Jamdung
Twelve dead in Mobay everybody worried 
Uncles,aunts,brothers and sisters  everybody fall victim 
Police have no answers,politicians drive by just another day in Jamdung
After 5 gone you walk fast on the road
Sweat pours down your face as you hear the first gun shot ring out
Hands firmly placed on your heart as you hear the screams and shout
People around you walk by as if nothing is wrong how comes nobody cares about crime in Jamdung?

Children going missing everyday but we turn our faces the other way
Then suddenly your sister is gone for days and you don't know what to do
All of a sudden you see the faces of the girls you turned your face from
Then it finally hits you crime is serious in Jamdung

A text comes in on your phone saying congrats you have won
You run to the bank to collect your millions
Couple hours later your bank book is empty 
Tears flow from eyes as you ask yourself why?
When will they stop the crime in Jamdung?

Election time is here and you are ready to vote for your party
Cars stop at your gate, hands appear,thousands of dollars for a vote 
You collect and vote for the one with the most money to float your boat
Election passes and you are hungry,no work only empty promises
Then you stop to wonder when the crime ago stop in Jamdung?

You are at a party and a guy approaches you
Words are exchanged before you know it he slips something in your drink
Couple sips later he walks away with your innocence 
You stop and cry out when the crime ago stop in Jamdung?

Families without fathers,mothers and daughters
Children hands stained with blood after crawling in their parents blood
Fear in the eyes of the people 
Yet their lips are sealed as to who is the killer
Nobody wants to talk 
Then they stop to wonder when the crime ago stop in Jamdung?

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...

New Look, Same Tastee: Creative Digital Rebrand Ideas to Revive the Brand Online

My first patty love was Tastee Patties, and to be honest, it is truly disappointing to see that they have failed to capitalize on and take the brand to new levels. In this blog post, I will break down some of the ideas that I would implement to revive the brand in the digital space to surpass what competing brands are currently doing.  The First Bite In primary school, Tastee Patties felt like a reward; our end-of-week treasure after saving a few dollars from lunch money each day. That first bite was more than food; it was joy, friendship, excitement, and pure Jamaican childhood wrapped in a flaky crust. The First Bite Campaign will tap into that shared memory, reconnecting generations to the Tastee moment they’ll never forget, while also introducing younger Jamaicans to the brand in a way that feels timeless, cultural, and deeply personal. Tastee Canteen Makeover Challenge Tastee Patties has been a staple of school lunches across Jamaica for decades, sponsoring canteen areas and m...

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...
