ALL LIFE MATTERS
All life matters
You can’t say that!
Why not?
It’s not politically correct
But isn’t it morally correct?
Well, well! blah blah!
But you can say black lives matter!
There’s sorrow there’s death
The pang of a farewell indefinite
What about white lives
There’s peace and joy
What about brown lives
And the stars keep smiling
What about yellow lives
From the pull of my song you can’t stay far
What about green lives
My song sprawls down like a bird in a stormy night
What about blue lives
The temple bells will be chiming
What about pink lives
The stars will light up one by one
What about lives of sharks
My worship with pain is not over
What about lives of whales
Let your touch be there all through my life
What about lives of animals
Aching for your embrace all else is forsworn
What about lives of refugees
My mind has lost its rack
What about lives of the homeless
Always sign of want
What about Bajan lives?
What about lives of the poor
There’s no decay, there is no ending
What about lives of the down trodden
Let my eyes’ light drown in thy beauty forever
What about lives of criminals
Breaking the lock, I look within my core
What about lives of babies
When pain pull my strings, my notes shiver
What about the lives of women
The waves vanishing and rising
THANKS

Serious indeed. Shame shame and more shame.
And the country has an Accountant General. It is going to be a barrel of laughs when the monkey accountant Kellman seeks to blame this sorry state of financial affairs on the switch over from the Cash basis to the Accrual method of accounting for government financial transactions which took place many ‘moons’ ago.

It would appear that the only means of dealing with these possible infelicities is through the PAC,we heard recently that 3 Ministers of the Crown refused to attend the PAC after being summoned and no sanction has been meted out.
Based on past performance it would suggest that the political class is free to do as they please and for as long as they please…….to the refrain……the king is dead,long live the king……we like um so.
