And Still I Rise

Morgan Heritage's "Nothing to smile bout" is my new favorite song. Everytime I listen to it; I realise how I could easily apply it to the Vincentian reality cos these days very little deh deh to smile bout.

I can't help but screw up mi face when I hear rice and flour price gone up again. How in God's name we reach to be paying $1.83 for a pound of rice and $1.48 for a pound of flour? Nutten really nuh deh deh to smile bout. Gas prices went down by one dollar and I didn't even smile.

All now,I still can't find one item that is cheaper since VAT was introduced. Nutten nuh deh deh to smile bout.

The sight of your electricity bill at the end of the month is enuff to drive you nuts. Vinlec says there is no increase but yet still the surcharge higher than the actual rate. I know is not me alone frowning because couple days ago there was a protest outside Vinlec's office. Definitely,nutten deh deh to smile bout.


When you hear and see youths dying like animals on the streets-nutten nuh deh deh to smile bout.

Women living in fear because the serial rapist got we captive..Nutten nuh deh deh to smile bout. When the Courts place a would be rapist on a bond then nutten nuh deh deh to smile bout

When I see increasingly we are forced to live behind bars when just a few short years ago open doors were the norm then nutten deh deh to smile bout.

I passed by Stacy Wilson's grave a few days ago(Yes people, my neighbour dragged me to walk)and it looked so forlorn that I felt like crying all over again. Nutten nuh deh deh to smile bout when her killer keeps wasting the time of the court.

Thank God Vincy got breathtaking landscapes that I can look on and smile when dem depressing realities hit me.
