Xaymaca National Pride
Preamble
Nuh body weh get fi keep dem
name caan tell mi seh wah dem go through
was worst than wah black people go through
and still a deal with...
Black people lost everything
Fathers watched their mothers,
wives and daughters raped by the
hands of the white man—not being
Xaymaca National Pride
Where is your pride, dignity,
love and self-worth?
You’ve never yearned or dreamt
of seeing streets and edifices named after you and yours?
Yuh caan tell mi bout yuh Jamaican
patriotism and national pride, when yuh a
bow and pay allegiance to that woman from that other isle.
“Repita por favor” dem seh—and that I did
Yuh caan tell mi bout yuh Jamaican
patriotism and national pride, when yuh a
bow and pay allegiance to that woman from that other isle.
Hold it, hold it; wah dem seh, which isle, which isle?
Mi a talk bout di British Isles
Definitely not the Isles of Man
Where is your pride, dignity, love and self-worth?
You’ve never yearned or dreamt of seeing streets
and edifices named after you and yours?
Yuh caan tell mi bout yuh Jamaican patriotism
and national pride, when you are not an independent nation
UTTER MALARKEY
Wah yuh seh, political independence? Political independence?
Political independence represents the ultimate misnomer
It is tantamount to British exploitation
With no liability on their part
And no representation and benefits for me to glean
By me, I mean the Jamaican people
That is not far removed from their prior colonial model
An extraction centric operation
A waan tell yuh a next thing tu
Those who benefited from colonialism
Should not be permitted to benefit penultimately from
a post-colonial Jamaica and ultimately from
an independent Jamaica—Jamaica the Republic that is
Read the constitution and it’s preamble documents,
like the West Indies Act of 1962 & the
Jamaica Independence Act of 1962, then you
will find that this has been a hustle, all along
Remove the veils from your eyes
Where is your pride, dignity, love and self-worth?
You’ve never yearned or dreamt of seeing streets
and edifices named after you and yours?
Yuh caan tell mi bout yuh Jamaican patriotism
and national pride when your highest court is in another domicile
Let me repeat
Yuh caan tell mi bout yuh Jamaican patriotism and
national pride when your highest court is in another domicile
VACUOUS REASONING
Privy me not to certain counsels
Why should a foreign court be the ultimate arbiter,
relative to my own judicial affairs?
Adjudication by proxy is tantamount to injustice.
Note, ultimate Adjudication requires a VISA
No to the Privy Council
BAFFLING TO SAY THE LEAST
Per the constitution, our primary allegiance to
Elizabeth and that is farcical at best
In second comes our national debt obligations
Largely due to those who are responsible
for our current predicament
They are positioned to benefit from such
payments—another hustle for their benefit
His worship his mayor this
Queens counsel that
Your Royal this and your Royal that
ASININE AT BEST
Wah yuh seh, speak di queen’s English?
Watch yuh self before mi…
yuh know what let mi hold mi tongue
Which queen; which king; why a King’s House?
Fire fi di notion of a Crown Land
Agrarian reform; give to the people that which is theirs—their land
Where is your pride, dignity, love and self-worth?
You’ve never yearned or dreamt of seeing streets
and edifices named after you and yours?
Yuh caan tell mi bout yuh Jamaican patriotism
and national pride, when yuh a bow and pay
allegiance to that woman from that other isle.
Shut up, you don’t have any Jamaican national pride.
Di same people dem weh enslave yuh
Di same people dem weh colonialize yuh
Then further exploit yuh—post colonization
Rape yuh mother
Kill yuh father
Pillage | Genocide
A dem yuh a bow to?
A dem yuh a embrace?
Stockholm Syndrome is real
WHAT A QUANDARY
Commonwealth, Commonwealth?
OR one way street?
Haha, please don’t speak, don’t mek mi laugh
Dem have rights in your country that you could
ONLY dream of in theirs
Canadians and all other Commonwealth folks,
with no Jamaicans ties, can hold political office in Jamaica
Whilst the reciprocal cannot be realized for a Jamaican in their countries
MIND BOGGLING
Where is your pride, dignity, love and self-worth?
You’ve never yearned or dreamt of seeing streets
and edifices named after you and yours?
Yuh caan tell mi bout yuh Jamaican patriotism
and national pride, when yuh a bow and pay
allegiance to that woman from that other isle.
A prime minister should not be paying allegiance
to a foreign sovereign or joining elks that do not
primarily represent Jamaica’s best interest.
TRULY BEFUDDLING
In time I will also touch on the exploitative and
manipulative ‘Out of many, one people’ motto
BLACKnowlwdgement | BLACKnowledge that which is
All a now mi nuh touch on your lack of embrace for your African self and your lack of African pride
Where is your Afrocentrism?
