Poetic Perspective: Taming Crime

Poetic Perspective:

With business confidence high ..

No one should ask why …

When a government  is performing well

Then good results will tell …

The Holness administration is on the ball

They are making the right call …

Crime  is down some  22 percent …

Certainly not the level considered heaven- sent …

When compared to where we are in 2017  …  as for killing …

This is very good going …

Resources given to the police to tame crime ….

And they are doing just fine …

Tourism is on the upturn …

Based on the data … so we learn

Despite negative reports of rape …

There are no convictions of any rate …

So these reports do not damage tourism’s fate …

All reports must be proved vigorously  Yes investigated for accuracy …

If found to be false … publicly expose atrocity .. .

It is not fair that after consenting to sex

You later claim rape … if you are vex or upset . .

Rape is a serious charge …

Not to be made without due regard …

We feel a genuine victim must be valued

Alas!  A real complaint is not here being devalued …

Let us respect the other person …

There is always good reason …

Sexual contact should be consensual

No one should treat same as casual

Crime is trending down .. .

Let us keep it down …

Create the right atmosphere for business

And we will reap growth & success …

Let us not focus on unnecessary fuss

But condemn tendency for being raucous …

We need to court love & respect

This is what we should expect

Let us embrace our neighbour …

As ordained by Our loving Saviour

Amen!
