On Personal Responsibility

By Elton Camp

When Godzilla rises from the sea
In mortal danger, Tokyo will be

Because he is so filled with rage
He goes on a destructive rampage

He brings violence to them all
Mighty skyscrapers will fall

People stomped under his feet
Even armies he is able to defeat

Godzilla wishes...

Santa’s Responsibility Rap
Loch David Crane 
July 2, 2006

Santa's jolly all year long
	he’s such a happy soul;
but if ya ever cross him
	he’ll put you in a hole.

Santa’s very red and white
	he knows who's good and bad.
His character assessment
	shows us what a life you’ve had.

So obey your...

We have the right to freedom of speech and expression,
But we have NOT the right to use them for transgression.
A right is a privilege to be respected every time we use
And not as a platform to others, harass, insult, abuse.

So many are quick to claim...

I Take Responsibility:

You gave me many choices today:

Walk away or stand and fight; I chose the warrior's way.
To sit and listen or raise my voice; And louder I became..
Be at center or be in chaos; I spun out of control..
Sing your praise or a war...

love is the spell your under
when you give your heart and mind
it sometimes last a little while
and for some it last a life time

responsabilities to care for
obligations to pay for
always fighting just like war
take away the joys

burdens have been carried for years and years
sleepless night...

I never told you what to do 
I've never judged a thing about you 
I know who it is I fell in love with 
Flaws and all, you're the one I accepted
Why, then, did you feel the need to to lie? 
I have three rules,...

Crime is a real problem in Jamaica 
Hundreds are dead, there's no solution to the problem
Even the police are giving up ...the police commissioner has resigned ...sir trust me, no one man can solve this problem...you did your best 

In the meantime, we are still...

They say he is there 
Ensuring everything is fair
They say he takes care of us
Even when he's in rush

I asked then why don't he solve my miseries?
Why is he taking my test?
Why isn't he the reason of my merries?
Why is he treating me different from...

Take a moment,
stop and think.

If you're thirsty,
have a drink.

Slow the pace,
and settle down.

Decide if which,
to smile or frown.

It's up to you,
to make a choice.

To remain quiet,
or share your voice.

To be engaged,
reveal a thought.

Or walk away,
when you'd rather not.

Either way,
it's up to you.

You determine,
to say or...

Today they believed the lies
the distorted truths… the accusations… and wrong-doing cries
the created fabrications which are easy to consume
conceptualizations and distortions… abundant and abloom.

Responsibility once assumed… but now rarely seen
reality now falsified… made convoluted… and obscene.
And the beat goes on….
as the mind is twisted
like that...

since when did you care about what your parents wanted,
their trembling hands clutching dusty photo albums,
dreams for you etched in whispers,
like the fine print on a warranty you never read.

smart, they said,
smart enough to untangle the wires,
but never the knots in your chest.

immortal—they wanted you...

You have a right to speak your mind freely,
and express what’s important to you,
you have a duty to make your words sincere,
and do what you must to speak the truth.
Also to protect those who would speak out,
even if with them you do not agree,
because if...
