STOP THE CRIME

Stop the Crime

When all this deh go done?

When all the killing and the maiming

Deh go stop inna di land?

Wei can teck it anymore,

Wei can teck it anymore.

When Nanny wen deh fight ,

An Bogle wen deh fight

Dem was fighting fi freedom.

Freedom from oppression,

Freedom from depression

But now wei no free.

Crime and violence teck ova

 The land and hold wei captive

Gun man a bust down wei door.

And deh kill wei by the dozen,

Now wei children dem at risk

Lawd have Mercy,

Lawd Have mercy.

Come one an all meck wei

Put down the gun an stop di crime,

Jamaica no need all a dis yah now,

Meck wei spread love to one an all

And build a better Jamaica

And build a better Jamaica

And build a better Jamaica.

  Night of love

Stars above,  oh my love
Moon in shone don’t go soon
Great bear, big dipper, morning star.

Dark Clouds don’t hide my beloved
From my celestial, beautiful friends,
Float  on white clouds this night of love 

Oh my love to thee I give
The most wonderful gift of love 
The  cool caress of a dew filled night
and the silvery light  of the moon.

Let's enjoy this musical symphony of
Crickets creak ,frogs croak,roosters horns, 
We’ll  both forever remember this   
majestic Jamaica night. 
When our everlasting love was born  
soycriada
 
 Timeless love

Today my heart floats high
And soars as an eagle in the sky
Taking me to unknown joys
 Riding on the wings of your love.

 All nature is beautiful in mine eyes,  
 The suns as a golden harden egg yolk
 The sky a profusion of rainbow  ribbons 
 And Love dresses the world fairy pink.

  Capture for me a still snapshot
  That our love remain constant,
  frozen in time, permanent, forever,
  Longer than a video will last.
   Soycriada

 Your Love

I stood in that line
Just having a good time
Suddenly I felt uncomfortable,naked
 And began wondering why

 Turning I saw looking

 The eyes of so many men

 Staring, undressing,  stripping

 My garments one piece at a time

Out of the crowd you stepped

Heading towards my way

 Gave me a smile and a kind hello        

Which became robes and covered me

From that day onwards I wanted 

To be seen naked only in your eyes

To be stripped with your eyes

Your hands and your lips.

To be covered with your love
Hear your voice whispering in my ears
Feel your breath fanning my skin
Taste your flavor on my tongue;

Your lips a  taste  of wild honey
Sweetening my body
Tongue of wild fire igniting my skin
Hands like goblets cupping my breasts

 Your fingers are like charcoal
 Etching love on the canvas of my skin
 Each etch you make your eyes
 Revealed the depth of your soul

 Naked I stand or lying by your side
 To be drawn only on your easel
 Posing and positioning
 For your eyes alone

 Waiting to be covered
 With robes of your love
 Please enter my sanctuary
 Yes enter my love.

Love Tunes
 How great is he who penned the words,
 If music is the food of love, then play on,
 Would he seem small who pen these words
 If blinding jealousy is the tune love plays,
 Then please stop the music.


 When love stretches out her selfish hands
 And on unstrung harps plays tunes
 For he who dares to listen,
 Melodies no one else can understand 
 Still others may hear the music.

  When dancers dance to love tunes
   Played by love’s selfish, impish hands
   Respect is lost for God, and man, 
   Lost of self, degradation,
   Cursing, hurting, crunching,

   With heals of selfish desires,
   Then I stand small with he who penned
   The words,
   If blinding jealousy is the tune love plays
   Then please stop the music.
  Soycriada

        Love Me  to night

   Walk with me tonight lets
   Sit under the coconut tree
   while the cool sea water
   Bath our feet as I am
   Showered with your love.


   Tell me you love me,
   I am in love enough to believe
   The moon will be our witness
   My heart will give me away,
  The waves will be the organ
  The night skies will sign of our love.
     Soy Criada

Moving on....

When you lose a loved one
Should there be a stipulated rule
As to how long the grieving process should be?
What point do you move on and get rid of their belongings
At what point do you find a new partner


And stop doing the things you did together?
At what point do you say goodbye to the memories
Of what life entailed When they were still around
what point do you stop imagining them still enjoying their daily rituals
At what stage do you discard the life of the recluse you’ve become?

At what stage, I ask do you move on
How should you grieve and for how long should you grieve?
At what stage, To ask, do you move on?

WHO HAS THE POWER

Who Has the Power

Today I have the power in my hands,

The power to make sure this little island Jamaica

Is given the chance to show us off as a nation

The right to choose who runs this little country,

Today I have the power within my hands.

Did you know everyone eighteen years old and over

Who was smart enough to have his census taken,

Those who were not afraid to stand before a camera

For they had nothing they wish to hide,

Today they grasp the power within their hands.

Citizen of Jamaica by naturalization or by birth, should allow the anthem and pledge to kindle

A patriotic flame, that burns deep within their hearts,

They should never take lightly this task that lies ahead,

Nation building lies within the power of their hands

This country needs,

Good policy makers,

Good Education systems,

Good youth programmes

Serious people

For serious business.

What will be the value of your right index finger?

 That you’ll proudly dip in ink of red ?

 Will it be a piece of codfish or bullets for the dead?

Let it be a better nation, for which

We’ll proudly lift our heads

The true price for the power within your hands.

Election times in Jamaica can be very interesting, This is the day that many citizens realize how powerful they are.
