I never thought
I'd find a kid
the way i found you
hanging from a tree
looking like a mango
all juicy and red through
from a far you were big and round
looking like a pumpkin
ready to be squashed
the closer i get
the plainer you seem
round and full
hanging upside down
from a lace up in the tree
ALAS! ALAS!
out of nowhere
a stone flew by
waap, straight in the side
down came the mango
in a wallop of frenzy
straight in my tummy.

Love

MY LOVE
by: Alecia Robinson
My love for you will never die
Even though I'm always shy
My unspoken words are hard to say
Especially to say how much I love you
I'll dream of you
I'll think of you
I'm always wondering what you do
You're my life
You're my song
You're my sugar in my cup
What these words are simply saying
Is that I love You very much.

Crime and Violence (Dub poem)
Crime and violence 
Mi say di crime and violence
Crime and violence ina di nation
Everyday mi wake up a pure frustration
People can't walk free pon road again
Because it hard fi tell di one dem weh a fren
mi say di crime and violence
Mi say di crime and violence
Every day mi listen the news
Mi hear all sort a views
Him shot, she stab and dem ya one a grab
Before dem stop crime and run go a rehab
Ina dem yah time when recession nuh stop bite
Why dem a kill when a now we fi unite
Mi say di crime and violence
Mi say di crime an violence
Lawd! what a crisis we have ina dis we society
We need to work together to preserve humanity
Mi tired fi fret an sit dung up a night
A pray to father God to protect mi from di fright
Jamaicans we need to come together
Take care of all sister and bredda
No more crime and violence
No more crime and violence

God's Love

To you I give my love
that you may cherish
like the father up above
and to bear fruits that flourish
through all four seasons
as God placed us here for different reasons
The work that God assigned to us
unimportant as it seems
It makes us prosperous
and bring reality closer to our dreams
If we only learn to pray and trust
then our problems God will turn to dust

Poetry from jamdung no comparison
Very best group in this our garrison
Imitation pastor preaching over there
Serenity Williams we don't even fear
Yu too buttu come from far an near in a di gutta
What is dis, look at dis
Dem a find fault an dem no mek it
Cum a iuc an no stop preten
Like dem an einstein a big time fren
IUC is not for you
Gully market is more like you
So back to the slum your career will end
If you don't humble yourself and just stop pretend
Welcome to Poetry from jamdun

Caa when him im run even horse stop and ge him pass
9.58 secs a wha him run when tired
Sometimes I wonder if this boy a lion
Usain 2 di worl a wha we haffi say
Ambassador a Jamaica, yeah we well bless!
