THE PEOPLE
We owe it to the men and women who at
the break of dawn at the bus terminals all over the island rise to the occasion
to get us to work on time and with a cup of hot chocolate tea and two fried
dumplings before the hot Jamaican sunrise above the crest of the Blue Mountain
and back home with a sky-juice and a dozen patties to our families and friends
as it sets on the beautiful shores of Negril. If this isn't commitment to
nation-building by the hard-working poor people nothing is. Our leaders need to
get out of bed and go observe honest, hardworking Jamaicans who are holding this
nation together on thin thread by their dedication, they could learn a thing or
two on how "prayer and work conquer all." As a working poor you have
to have god to give you strength to face another day under the hot Jamaican sun
in the midst of crime and corruption. 
This is a great piece, it represents the true spirit of Jamaica, my father the Farmer and my mother was a part of this Jamaica from Musgrave market in Port Antonio to Coronation and Redemption Ground markets in Kingston raising a strong family, a true Jamaican story.
