On Jamaican Debt: (10) Poems (Poem 6) Poem by Poetical Analysis

poem *




The European scheme thought mere debt would kill us


So, year after year, these criminal fascists bill us


For living as humans & raising true children


That are so different from theirs’ they desire to kill them


But its US in our view, & we know what you do


As do you


That’s why you claim it’s defensive or equivalent to your rights


That’s why you work so hard so you can call it your plight


But it is US who you devour & grind to forget


So you can claim to remember we owe you some debt
