State Terrorism

A young man recently received life sentence for illegal possession of a firearm.
This action by the government of Jamaica is no less than oppression.
 
Some may disagree with me, but the tyrannical state alone should not be armed.
The stupid police like to brand ghetto youths as criminals and gunmen.
 
Consider the fact that the biggest criminals are politicians, the members of parliament.
Moreover, every person who uses a gun is a gunman or a “gunwoman.”
 
If we did not have resistance in our society to stand up for our rights,
The wicked leaders of this country and the security force would literally walk on the people.
 
Jamaica is full of injustice, white-collar crime and deceitful officials.
We have an evil-minded prime minister, a corrupt police force and a corrupt army.
 
Members of the security force are exonerated when they murder innocent civilians.
The violation of human rights and state terrorism are on the rise in this country.
 
When the head of the stream is filthy, what do you expect downstream, Mr. Prime Minister?
I am going to write more about this issue in another short composition.
