Poem Title:
Poem
Used to be a happy go around…later shrouded in frowns…? For many a birth places…what are the shades of their faces…? A log of many a cases…where are the words of their paces… Memories of a ghetto…not in Soweto… But it is located in Jamaica…some call it ‘Jah Mek Yah’… Right there in Kingston…where the 70’s ‘kill some’… With smears of being all poor…what is there to adore…? Is there any glowing in their growing…or is it a constant lowing that is flowing…? Incense of some violence…at times very intense… Why question from whence…the condition of your fence… Some work for minimum wage…till their children comes of age… Some may try a ‘hustle’…amid times of a real tussle… A school is the real tool…not to be classified a fool… How many took the opportunity…was it there in its entirety…? Expectations are low…within the underlying glow… If you noted some highs…many people might accuse you of lies… But what about some doctors…what are the determinations of their characters…? What says of the lawyers…any semblance to Tom Sawyers…? The list of engineers…worthy of professional scares…? What of other professionals…would you question their rationales…? What do you expect…outcasts in select…? To put it in context…a myriad of rejects…? Like some ‘Shotters’…what are their real matters…? The diary of their jotters…to splatters…the brain of ‘ratters’…? What of the common people…any conclusions from their STEEPLE…? A ‘transfer’ will be good for him; or her survival…are there many a rivals...? Through Western Union…is this the symbolic source of a reunion…? Or through Money Gram…is it the lamb within a damn…? Within the spacing of the land…are there any sightings of bland…? Good gods of Moses…will their limitations exposes…? Can they escape the brand…is there any magic in their wand…? Within the society…what are the flavours of our notoriety…? You are not from ‘uptown’…will I make you a frown…? What’s the expectation of your game…any flame; or is it plain lame…? Like ‘boys in the hood’…can you ever come good…? Questions to a faction…what’s the typical reaction…? Will you move beyond the seeming limits of your scope…? Or will you condemn yourself to the notion of no hope…? Jones Town…it once was my playground…
