Love Affair

Love Affair 2014
By Saccheen Laing

Have you chosen which path to go in life?
Don't worry it isn't a difficult question or is it?
The love affair strengthened in 2014 
As Digicel and lime continued to fight for our hearts
Thousands switching and call rates fluctuating
Many remained loyal while others fell victim to the attractiveness of free calls
No matter where you turned you felt the heat and passion of the lime and Digicel brawl
Five to ten messages each day, is it love or obsession 
Our hearts lay in a limbo as we choose our path 
Annoyance on one and heartbreak on the other
This love affair is clearly like no other.

PNP and JLP continued to state their claims
Both promising and pleading for a dedicated relationship
The gold diggers who found love with the PNP for promises of wealth and elevated statuses 
Quickly abandoned ship when the waves got rocky and the dollar slipped 
Many where heard complaining about the commitment to the IMF
Some stood firm accepting the threesome way of life
Others felt the competition was too much and found new love interest in the JLP 
What a constant mixup in the love affair of Jamaican politics
Is your heart beating for orange or is it beating for green?
Sweet talk and sweet promises makes this love affair a continued battle
2015 may give us answers in this continues love affair of Jamaican politics.

Is your house on solid land?
This reminds me of the love affair between the NHT and the government 
If you are seeking an example of a bond so strong take a page out of the love story of the NHT and the  government
Questions still being asked about what went wrong but the wife stands still and dares you to wave your hand
She will not be moved as she defends the affair 
The story continues as the trust remains ever so strong
Will the five man board still stand?
Only time will tell what will happen next in the love affair sweeping over our land

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...

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...
