Poem: Shottin Up De Place

Published Aug 6, 2012

Lord, pray for the youths,

They are acting out of character

and their behaviour is no longer

cute,

Dem shottin hup de place far no reason at all,

causing innocent people fe tek de fall,

The youth dem restless, angry and

disenchanted, through dat dem a act

violent and haunted,

Jesus, tek dem under advisement and

cure dem confusion,

Save em from detention and persecution,

De Youth dem have gone astray,

and the future looks dim and gray,

Lord, help us to help dem to

stop shottin up de place.

Amen
