SOS (In Jamaican Patois)

Kick out har yaye, blind har to rass.
Bruk out har teet, starve har to phart.
Mash up har mouth, nuh mek she taak.
Swell up har face, a mi a de boss.


She nuh hav nuh mumma like mi.
She nuh hav nuh puppa like mi.
She nuh hav nuh bredda like mi.
She nuh hav two pretty sista like mi.


Kick out har yaye, she luv mi too much.
Bruk out har teet, she a di madda fi mi bwoy.
Mash up har mouth, she caan eat fi gi suck.
Swell up har face, a mi a de boss.


She nuh smaddy like mi sista.
She nuh woman like mi madda.
She nuh hav two pretty daughta.
An' di one son weh mi faada.


Kick out har yaye, she guilty as sin.
Bruk out har teet,
Bout she ca gift cum gi mi madda.
Mash up har mouth,
Bout she ca sup'n fi mi faada.
Swell up har face, a mi a de boss.


Guilty Miranna, she luv mi too much.
Guilty Miranna, she tek good care a mi bwoy.
Guilty Miranna, she tell doc she drop pan stone.
Guilty Miranna, she preffer blind,


Dan mek babylon lock mi up.

wow I can better understand hearing it than reading it. But I did understand more than I thought I would. Had 2 Jamaican boyfriends years ago.

Thanks Donna...Most of my verses are penned during some somber moments. These express my feelings immediately after a melee between a close relative and his spouse

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
