BLIGHT MEDICINE


A sea bath, a sea bath
A bush bath, a bush bath
Red lavender, holy water
Removes blight from your daughter
A blue bag to cut envy
A blue bottle in sight
Turn backwards at the front door
And get rid of all your blight
Knock on wood, pinch yourself
Horse shoe on your door
Mount a ring, get a guard
Remove all blight for sure
Egg bath, hot cocoyea
Plant flags, light candles and sway
And still 2012 blight
Will never go away
Until you get down on your knees
Pray, set goals and listen
Turn to JAH, the only remedy
Holder of the blight medicine- He is the cure!

WITHOUT SUBJECT

Mixed up, muddled down, mediocre feelings
Keen eyes which gaze aimlessly in doubt
At these words worthy of a sleuth
Sure expressions of truth now hidden
And without subject, there is nothing to write about

No anger, no joy, no pain, no noose
No muse,words untamed and loose
None prevails, all crossed words that come not out
Like crabs in a barrel they just scramble and ramble
And without subject, there is nothing to write about

This wide- master bowler; Duck- diva batsman
Noble no-ball nemesis; maiden-less thrower
Over’s-whore, with futile hopes to cause a re-route
Of hidden emotions, be it, memories or aspirations
For without subject, there is nothing to write about
