One Don Responds To One Dust

Justin wrote to Usain:

Bro I made mistakes for a few days,
You won 100, 200 and in the relays,
Filled with silver, now I’m so pissed,
Even had to fire my old pharmacist,
Once again you took da triple slam,
Running on tha damn country yam,
You know I was just talking smack,
When I said I’d beat you on a track,
My muscles felt that tightening jolt,
Cuz I forgot you’re da lightning Bolt,
Hey in relays we were miles ahead,
I was so fast y’all were left for dead,
Got da baton to Gay soft and sweet,
Ok Little Mike couldn’t take da heat,
But if we were running side by side,
Nope, we wouldn’t get disqualified,
I’m gonna learn some cool tricks,
So by Rio I can run that mule 9.56,
So for now keep thinking you’re #1,
Next year we’ll see who’s the don.

Signed

Justin

2014 A Dreary, Fairly Good Year

This year ended the way it started,
Bless all of our dearly departed,
In Jamaica we know,
No hurricane blow,
We were really lucky to rahtid,
2014 surely couldn’t be worse,
When we look in the wallet and purse,
The economy ah joke,
Every one ah we broke,
But I’m trying my best not to curse,

Guilty verdict fi di teacha Vybz Kartel,
Thirty five for murder in a prison cell,
A man without teeth turn dancehall star,
While di rest ah artiste dem ah war,
Ah dem seh, “wi nuh like funny guy”,
Yet some all ah tattoo dem eye,
Fi di hundredth time since 19-O-when,
Bounty and Beenie tun friend again,
Beres the best ever at Jazz and Blues,
Women scream and run lef dem shoes,
A Jamaican girl look like Lauryn Hill,
Singing Marley wid whole heap ah skill,
Get booted twice offa The Voice,
She just wasn’t the judges choice,
Reggae music still big like rock n roll,
But dancehall drop dung inna hole,
It haffi do betta inna 2015,
Dem fi clean up di dancehall scene,

Everybody still ah bleach wid Nadinola,
Black people unda threat from Ebola,
Jamaica eat di most chicken dung yah,
Most ah wi ketch di Chickungunya,
Nuh matter how di health care free,
Most ah wi cyaa pay hospital fee,
Di joint pain wi surely nah figet,
Now every house full ah Panadol tablet,

Dem seh it safer fi fly inna di air,
But how so much plane ah disappear?
No tracking device or dem get hijack?
It kinda sound like a terrorist attack,
Sometimes dem seh only time can tell,
U.S. free up Cuba, weh yuh seh Fidel?
President Obama seh di ball nah drop,
On di popular list ah him deh pan top,

Jamaica still ah fight ova gay rights,
Man deh road inna blouse and tights,
But how dat fi affect my life?
If a man want a man fi a wife?
Don’t bigger fish out deh fi fry?
Like how di government dem suh lie?
So many homeless out on di street,
Mental health issues still so discreet,

Any sports we do ah Jamaican rule,
Yuh nuh si Alia run di swimming pool?
Usain Bolt still ah hold di fort,
Athletes just need more support,
The people need fi have more fun,
More work and less of di gun,
The most beautiful place on earth,
Proud that THIS is the land of my birth,
J-A-M-A-I-C-A.
