Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HCIJKLM BAANFA OPQKRSHS TUVWVNFQXD YWVZA2HB2 VQC2ZFQB SPQD2D2PE2| I shall unsparingly criticise your prestigious Year Celebration | A |
| Let me ask a few thought provoking questions | B |
| How did you finance such a costly event | C |
| Did the money come from the pockets of the tax payers | D |
| Has the poor profited from that careless handling of public funds | E |
| You wasted our hard earned money to accommodate Prince Charming Henry | F |
| And it is evident you were not satisfied with that | G |
| - | |
| You have neglected the mad people and the homeless on the pavement | H |
| But you did not hesitate to squander millions of dollars on a nonessential event | C |
| I am positive you were just trying to build a false image | I |
| You have been sweeping your abominable deeds under the rug for some years | J |
| And predictably you have flatly denied any involvement in wrongdoing | K |
| In my opinion if you had even an ounce of shame | L |
| You would not talk about love of country or national pride | M |
| - | |
| Your destructive hands are stained with the blood of innocent Jamaicans | B |
| You have snuffed out the lives of men women and children | A |
| Law enforcement is not a good reason to justify your cruel and deliberate action | A |
| The tears of grieving mothers and fathers are on your shoulder | N |
| You practice arrogance lordliness discrimination and thievery | F |
| And your tongue is full of insincere talk lies and deception | A |
| - | |
| Have we achieved any success or made any outstanding improvements | O |
| What do we have to show for the years of independence | P |
| I do not see any evidence of prosperity up to now | Q |
| Look at the high rate of unemployment and the rise in the cost of living | K |
| The nation s economy is badly wrecked owing to your greed | R |
| Jamaica is no longer a friendly environment for business | S |
| We cannot build on the foundation of merrymaking and excitement | H |
| Neither can we prepare for a bright future by doing foolishness | S |
| - | |
| You have caused many black persons to suffer physical abuse and injustice | T |
| The poor have been victimized under this country s oppressive regime | U |
| Recall the Green Bay massacre the Agana Barrett scandal | V |
| The cold blooded slaying of Matthew John Lee on Arcadia Drive | W |
| The Michael Gayle scandal the Andrew Phang scandal | V |
| The Crawl scandal the Tivoli Gardens massacre | N |
| And the seven youths who the security forces led by Adams had reportedly | F |
| Hemmed in and hurriedly slaughtered in Braeton | Q |
| As usual nobody was convicted for any of these obvious crimes | X |
| Why do we have laws if police and soldiers are judges and executioners | D |
| - | |
| If you think I have forgotten the other atrocities you are wrong | Y |
| A trigger happy cop killed a man in Half Way Tree because he had a spliff | W |
| In addition take this huge embarrassment to the JCF for example | V |
| Someone had secretly videotaped a policeman an agent of the state | Z |
| Brutalizing and murdering an insane man in front of an instigative crowd | A2 |
| After that the untruthful police fabricated an account of the incident | H |
| But the truth came out after they had published a mendacious report | B2 |
| - | |
| years of disadvantaging and ripping off the common people | V |
| years of corruption dishonesty and subjugation | Q |
| And years of party politics scarce benefit and spoil | C2 |
| Is that what you were so proud of and spent so much money to celebrate | Z |
| You do not have the wisdom to manage liberty successfully | F |
| I know you will not like to hear my assertion | Q |
| Nevertheless we need liberation from you despotic politicians | B |
| - | |
| There is nothing in place to benefit the needy among us | S |
| Yet you hosted a celebration to commemorate years of independence | P |
| You would do anything to conceal your wicked intention | Q |
| I am not speaking in favour of colonialism | D2 |
| But some might agree that it is much better than state terrorism | D2 |
| Members of parliament if you had any conscience | P |
| You would quit office and go and feed yourselves to the sharks | E2 |
