Poem Topic: Tiad a It
Crime crime no more crime
We want peace no more crime Crime tun up inna the place it nuh easy at all Fadda a dead and madda a bawl Pickney mouth full up a white scrawl Pow! Pow! And another one fall We have to pray to almighty God Because this crime rate nuh easy at all Crime crime no more crime We want peace no more crime Suicide, murder and forcable rape What a world wi living in When everyday wi walk inna fear What a crisis we have in our society We need to work together to protect humanity Crime crime no more crime We want peace no more crime But look how wi little country a mash up A bare shootout, lick down and chop up More while we have to be glad that we live to see another day Because dem youth yah love ave dem own way Crime crime no more crime We want peace no more crime We can’t even stay out late with our friends Because wi parents fraid people tek wi weh To them guns and knives are just toys Somehow it’s a signs of bravery for boys Bodies lying in the road motionless People dying from gunshot wounds on hospital beds When a simple shrug could be enough Why do these young men always choose to pull out a gun Crime crime no more crime We want peace no more crime
