I Am

I am.  
by Richard V Fraser

Who am I, I am Jamaican

I am the mix of African maroon, Scottish, Irish, German,English, Chinese and Indian

I am the flavour in the Jerk, the curry, the roast yam, the ackee and saltfish 

I am the Mento, the Ska, the Roots the Rock the Reggae and the Dance hall

I am the sun, the sand, the trees and the breeze

I am the vibe in Negril, the splash in Mo-bay, the weekend in Ochie and the bashment in the Kingston town

I am the julie mango, the sweet sugar cane, the nice cool jelly coconut and the sweet but sour sop

I am the Marley, the Garvey, the Quarrie, Bolt and the Louise Bennett

I am the Harder they come, the Smile orange, the Dance hall Queen and the Shotas

I am the Black, the Green, the Gold

I am the Independent, the Emancipated 

I am the Proud,  I am Jamaican

Who am I?

I am the vibe in Negril, the splash in Mo-bay, the weekend in Ochie and the bashment in the Kingston town

I am the julie mango, the sweet sugar cane, the nice cool jelly coconut and the sweet but sour sop

I am the Marley, the Garvey, the Quarrie, Bolt and the Louise Bennett

I am the Harder they come, the Smile orange, the Dance hall Queen and the Shotas

I am the Black, the Green, the Gold

I am the Independent, the Emancipated 

I am the Proud,  I am Jamaican

These Words

These words will last for sometime,  
Time will last a lifetime, 
Life will be lived to The End, 
The End will be thoughts of the beginning,
Time to Begin living Life to The End.
