Let's Rebuild Jamaica

Take me back to the days of old,
And rich legacy that worth more than gold.
It took an entire village to raise a child,
Where they were free to roam and be wild.
The rivers and streams were free of pollution, 
And the white sand beaches were for the citizens of the nation. 
Now our people have been denied access
And our island home has become a big mess.
Politicians  hungry for power so they lie and cheat, 
While poor Jamaicans suffer great defeat. 
Cost of living on the rise as we bear the brunt of a cruel regime, 
And there's a deafening silence despite the scream.
Crime has infested  every nook and cranny, 
And our safety lies in the hands of those who fuel tyranny. 
Our nation is on the verge of being nonexistent,
And the voices of of people will echo the same sentiment. 
Modern day heroes and heroines arise with power, 
Let's unite and take back our country together.
Now is not the time to wallow in self pity,
But to join forces and rebuild our society. 
A nation poised for greatness with our talents and creativity, 
As we change our mindset and go forward with integrity.  
We will not be a slave to our past but be resilient like our ancestors, 
As we call our citizens to action to rebuild Jamaica.
