A behind the scenes view of the real Jamaica.

The tensions and secrets locked away in shadows of denial and fear.

Skepticism of thoughts and forever truths,

Hushed to the tunes of a cultural expression,

Which provokes and metamorphosise

a consensus of denial at times.

The equivalent to self-denial,

making self-actualization almost an impossible task.

I wrote this in 2013 when I heard the news that Dwayne Jones was killed in montego bay. It was last week that I was at my grandmother’s house when I heard the news. A 17 year old male was mobbed and killed, he’s received chops, stabs and even a bullet wound all because he went to a dance and at the moment took on the persona of a transvestite. Another instance was an angry mob wailing and galavanting about 2 alleged homosexuals found out.

a year or so ago I heard on the news about a 16 year old boy who was said to have been intimately linked with a man. It cut me up I must I say. I believe the church is one of the entities of disgust to our country. Most churches want to lash out against the homosexual community when this country has so much to tackle. The 16 year old was chopped to death beside his father.
