Poems and Poetry
| Discover Barbados!| This house we live has now become our home Despite the roof that leaks and walls tattered and is torn Looking in the past at what this mansion once was How has it come to be this way, what is the cause Babies grown in plastic tubes just for them to understand Mother feel the kick in the womb before it's kicked into the can No time for the breast so lives on scientific food No money for a sitter, leave them home with the tube Immoral acts have changed to a happy affair But your brother is a brother no matter what clothes he wear The marriage bed once white has the letters triple X and is blue With vows now to love honor and cherish until they find someone new What does the clergy say, they happily bless with their sign Believing they are going way up leaving everyone else behind But with their hands so filled with blood and lives so bitterly defiled They murdered their very own and cant keep their hands off of the child White kill white Blacks kill blacks because they have a different name Children putting their parents away leaving them in heartfelt shame Turn to Him above before things get any worst So they call to the Lord in prayer then use him in a curse Work and toil in the field just to buy back what you grew And with pesticides and chemicals it's giving less back too A glut of food in the field, the system pays to destroy without fuss So we send shuttles to the moon while millions bites at it's dust When it takes a disaster for your neighbor to lend hand When music of demons lead you telling you where to stand when people look down on themselves and so try to get up high Despite all these pains and problems the world will never die The only question to the thoughts above is to ask yourself why Despite all this in our home the question to be asked is why.
