  3. …#Solace, to those left to cry!
    Doom_die! Please don’t die!
    As, de mother a dry she eye!
    And, de father looking to the sky!
    While, Skye and the rest of the Citizenry
    Asking? Why? Why? Why!
    Instead, of the Dawgs talking
    It’s the guns barking.
    That, have the People running
    Since, crime is on the upswing
    With more, stabbing, chopping and shooting!

    …Kaiso_Thyme boi! Obi?
    …we need you, Warlord Kenobi!
    …#Obi_Wan_Kenobi! Obi_Wan_Kenobi!
    …’cause, this thing has gone from bad to worst.
    …and, we’re tired of listening to Mr. Lie_No_Hell Hurst!
    …since, these senseless killings
    …which have crimes, on the upswing
    …to young bodies becoming, dust in the wind
    …after being taken to a cemetery, in a hurst!

    …now, we know you trained the brother Luke!
    …and, we can use one like him in St. Luke’s
    …unlike, the poliTRICKtan who is a fluke!
    …’cause, I can; and yes, I do understand
    …that, directly all criminality
    …plus living immorally
    …cannot, be attributed to politician’s
    …however, they must be better custodians, of Our Nation.
    …and, if you can’t make the grade!
    …we don’t want, nor need no more of your charade!?

    …this violence has gotten beyond serious
    …and, it ain’t got nothing, to do with class!
    …for, as we take a look; into our Looking Glass
    …in plain sight, ‘tis the image of CANTANKEROUS
    …looking, staring right back at Us!
    …therefore, instead of a mutual agreement
    …to even, a simple argument
    …all we do, is Fuss! Fuss! Fuss!
    …as the weapons, come first!
    …and, another one BITES THE DUST!

You lil thieves in Swetes that love to break in ppl homes. vehicles..tresspass pick what you didn’t plant in ppl garden and farms will learn about karma..

  7. It is with deep sadness to learn that Monk is no longer with us. He was a peaceful man, always ready to lend a helpful hand.
    He, at all costs avoid conflicts therefore, his death is senseless.

    Antigua’s police services is broken, ineffective and throughly not fit for any purpose. The parties who murdered Monk may never be caught for their wickedness, however karma is a bitch.

    Before Monk’s death numerous complaints were made to the All Saints Police station which dates back to 2015: Monk’s House in All Saints was burnt to the ground , and threaths to his life. All incidents were known to the police and the police did nothing.

    His house in Swetes was burnt to the ground he was threatened , the issues were reported to the police and they did nothing.

    It is disgraceful that we have a police force that is inept, the country is on the brink of anachy and Benjamin has not devised, or implement nothing to restore law and order.
    It is high time for Benjamin’s administration to consider the restoration
    of hanging. Undoubtedly, those thugs who thinks it is OK to take someone ‘s life and walk free would think again if they knew hanging would be waiting for them.

    Monk’s killers will never know peace on earth and thereafter.

  8. @RAWLSTON POMPEY…ah wah ah guarne?
    Appreciating, the positive vibes.
    The ‘poetry’ in me is simply the love of life and how words can be used, to paint a picture.

    Now, as far as “dawgs talking,” these are AI – Artificial Intelligent Shape_Shifting Dogs. They’re a local #Garrat_Breed.

    BTW – to those who think, that Garot, Garret, Garrat etc is a derogatory word, should do some research into the meaning, etymology of the word. It’s the #PINNACLE.

    I see, that you’re not relenting on your suspicion(s) surrounding the Yennifer Bridges murder investigations. It’s time to reel in the thugs from all corners.

  9. As the US frontier is strengthened, The drug lords will seek new markets. There will be much more drug available and less expensive ones.
    Antigua is doomed if our government. does not take action now.
    There should be anti-drug K9 teams visiting every boat, every plane and decades in prison for drug smugglers…

  10. Swetes different these days they keep trespassing on people’s property to pick things they didn’t plant and breaking into their homes sad to say more of them may get shot

  11. A certain guy that owns a shop in Swetes name is mixed up in this. A very badminded individual that speaks ill of everyone and makes up stories to turn people against one another for his personal gain or to create unnecessary drama. Karma is real see how you already gotten very slim and look like you’re about to die big fool. You don’t want to see nobody in Swetes own nothing…. go clean your green mossy swimming pool and buy some more pills for your lil dead sum and stop preying on little girls.
