It’s that time of the year when the shimmering lights come alive.
It’s Christmas time...Joy… peace and happiness in our homeland Jamaica.
The smell of mom baking the fruit cake with all the right spices and the aroma of hot chocolate tea permeates the Christmas air.
Mixing the sorrel with WATA, red label wine and don’t forget the white rum.
The honey glaze ham, the curry goat, and the gungo rice and peas are how yuh know yuh deh yard.
The magic of Christmas is complete when all the family sits around the table and remembers the good old days.
From our family to your family have a Merry Jamaican Christmas

The Devil went up to Georgia
In search of Lucrezia Borgia
His thoughts were obscene
But she was plain mean,
"Georgia just wants to disgorge yuh!"

Although it is covered in muck
The horse may go lame
But you're not to blame
Your mother-in-law-needs a buck

“I am a man”
What’s that really?
Having sex with several women
Beating a woman senseless
He doesn’t cry because it's pointless
He doesn’t communicate because it’s a female thing
Mi just a ask
Because that’s all I know a man to be
Would I want you to be my father?
Would I want you to be my child’s father?
That’s a question you need to answer
Would you date you, sir
Mi just a ask
Because I have no idea what a man should be
If you had a daughter and she met a man like you …would you cry for her or smile with joy
When yuh child introduce you to a man like you …don’t call her nuh fool… you were her example
Careful the example you set it will come back to yuh its call “karma”
Mi just a tell yuh
Don’t tell anyone yuh a man because yuh a father
Were you there for the birth of that child?
Mi just a ask yuh
I celebrate with the men that treat a woman well and be there for their child …you are so few
Mi just a tell yuh
Happy international men’s day

While you spend the time intellectualizing and politicizing Jodiann's death
Remember someone pickney dead
Because of discrimination and power play let's call it as it is .
A child don't have her mother.
Yes another report comes out without hope because a nuh one big man pickney dead
My question is ...would you want anyone to treat your pickney suh
Mi afraid to cough and sneeze because you will think is COVID-19 ...you think you any better than them doctor...just watch your own reaction when someone cough and sneeze ...yuh ask is that COVID-19
Discrimination is real
Many call for Tufton to resign ...a him did discriminate?
In case you never hear... he was never there.
Stop the politics and call out the doctor them name
Because them never care.
There was a time when doctors believe that all lives matters but today mi question that
Now a child without her mother
A mother without a daughter
A sister without her sister
And a lover without his mate
Just because a doctor discriminate
they never cared
At the end of the day that what it boil down to ...them never care .. only their life matters.

COVID-19 is like an abusive man
Him just a beat yuh fi nothing
Lord help wi
I feel trapped in the house not even mi mother mi want next to mi
Brogad mi see yuh a try mi prime minister but it ruff over here in Portmore
Mi in a the centre of the war zone
Fear and anxiety a kill mi
Only God know how mi feel
Mi mask up and tek mi distance
Tan a yuh yard is a reality for the rich
Mi scared but mi still must hustle in the streets
An empty cupboard can’t feed the kids… they got to eat
So I must run the streets
Mi can’t even tell yuh how mi worried fi the man that must pay him staff ...him between a rock and hard place...keep them and pay them...I don’t even know how him a go do it
Lord God help him!
I now realize how freedom sweet
Jah know...COVID-19 need to tek a flight and leave
