The Jamaican Child






Watch them all caught up in them politics!
Turn on the news another Jamaican child life has ended too quick
Busy making plans for the future they say 
While everyday the future is being taking away
How can you not cry out when you hear of the death of a child?
They drop by and offer words of assurance just for a little while
Our little girls are being taken advantage of yet elders continue lust
Every day we brace ourselves to hear about more pain reaching our children
Yet we remember for a while and we move on with our lives because it's not our child

It's so captivating to hear a child laugh yet these men find joy in taking innocence from a child
So young, filled with great potential yet at just 12,13,14,15 they are killed before their time
More and more parents are burying their children our country is really in reverse
No matter how many developments take place in our country we continue to disregard our true worth

The most influential minds pretend as if they don't hear the cries
Yet they are vocal on the most trivial of matters
Our children continue to cry out to be protected but we are silent and tune out the cries
Let us think for awhile what would you do if your child was molested and found in a dirt pile?
May our hearts be more understanding so we can do something about the problem
2015 rolls on and we honestly have to wonder how many more times we will have to say goodbye
Goodbye to our loved ones who the gun and knives took away
Our youngest are leaving us yet Jamaica needs the youngest to build it up

TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz Prizes

The buzzer ignited the excitement in my veins for many years. I grew up watching TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz and I saw it as a means of once again unifying the nation through friendly rivalry. As the years rolled by things started to change and the blatant favouritism could be seen coming from our television screens. The power of some of the more prominent high schools would allow them to end up in the winning circle. Apart from the fun element turning into some what of a war each year, what has changed drastically is the awarding of the various prizes at the end. Throughout the years we could expect to see students from some of the participating schools coming forward to collect their various prizes at the end of the competition. We looked forward to hearing what the students would be awarded for their hard workout throughout the season. Apparently, this was deemed to be too much of a problem to broadcast so it was eliminated completely. All we see now is the winner collecti

This World

  A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look
