There are always choices to be made. We can choose to be empathetic, loving and caring, or we can choose to be greedy and destructive. We are constantly reaping what we sow.

Jamaicans for Justice launch a booklet of our Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms – made simple

As I mentioned, Jamaica is currently recognizing – and in most cases, celebrating – its 60th anniversary of Independence. This is such a large, round number that special attention is being paid to “Jamaica 60.” What progress has been made in the past six decades since the flag of the “Coloniser” descended a flagpole in Kingston at midnight on August 5, 1962 (more about how Jamaica’s national flag was chosenhere).

By the way, the word “colonising”was used by Senator Lidia Thorpe, an indigenous Australian parliamentarian recently to describe Queen Elizabeth II, as she was sworn in with a clenched fist held high. She was interrupted and told to stick to the script of her oath of allegiance, which she eventually did – albeit in a sarcastic tone of voice. She had made her point, anyway.

Me: Fake Tory scare issue it seems. In 2021, 573,000 people migrated into the UK and 334,000 people emigrated from it, leaving net migration of 239,000 people. This represents the balance of long-term migrants moving in and out of the country. (https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn06077/#:~:text=In%20the%20year%20ending%20June,net%20migration%20of%20239,000%20people.)

573,000 moving in compared to 18,000 boat people… That makes it a made up fear and anti-people of color issue, does it not?

Florbela Espanca

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Em atitudes e em ritmos fleumáticos,

Erguendo as mãos em gestos recolhidos,

Todos os brocados fúlgidos, hieráticos,

Em ti andam bailando os meus sentidos…

E os meus olhos serenos, enigmáticos,

Meninos que na estrada andam perdidos,

Dolorosos, tristíssimos, extáticos,

São letras de poemas nunca lidos…

As magnólias abertas dos meus dedos

São mistérios, são filtros, são enredos

Que pecados d’amor trazem de rastos…

E a minha boca, a rútila manhã,

Na Via Lactea, lírica, pagã,

A rir desfolha as pétalas dos astros!..
