Fia! Fia! Inna De Arcaad - Poems in the series "The Poetic Times: Revelation of Injustices"

Published Nov 5, 2012

Dema bun hout de Higgla dem,

Omen hof powa...A earn dem hown

shillin, dem too picky and choosy,

Treet Vendors no deserve no top billin!

Dem no wan hack like floozy,

So, de ole babylonian rebel dem

a go bring dem dung to size,

Til dem play "loosey-goosey",

Bun hout dem livelihood, til

dem beg, plead an cry,

Fia! Fia! inna de arcaad,

De gal dem nah get no bly!

Dem wan de gals fi walla

in de swamp like halliagators

inna de Evaglades,

A so dem build, a so dem mash hup,

Dem nah stop til de oman dem a beg wid wan cup,

Babylon wan leff dem farlarn an bruk!

Babylon tink dem powaful an filled wid easy tricks,

But wen God ready far dem,

A hope dem cyan tek de Halmighty licks.
