We Seeing Red

  

 

We seeing red

In more ways than one,

In one way it looks like the BLP

Already won.

 

In another

It is the cost of living

Determined by the harsh policies

By who’s presiding.

 

We seeing red

The BLP still on the up

But the blood of valuable youth

Clotting in muck.

 

 

 

‘Tis in the street

For everyone to see,

A lot of shooting and stabbing,

As in a spree.

 

We seeing red

As in the BLP posters

Making all opposing candidates

Look like jokers.

 

 

 

Red and Ready

Is their rallying cry,

Grant Mia Mottley a third term

Lest we die.

 

We seeing red

It could be the sunset

Or it could be billions of dollars

As in our debt.

 

It could be the GDP

With the country in red

And for the majority of us all

Things real dread.

 

 

 

It could also be

The BLP’s supersonic rise

As they achieve millionaire status

In smart disguise.

 

We seeing red

Blood vessels bursting,

On account of migraine headaches,

And Mia trusting.

 

We seeing red

Because we are afraid

That nobody other than Aunty Mia

Can access aid.

 

 

 

So, bear in mind

Should she be returned

The red we see might be our Bim

Crash and burn.

 

We seeing red

In more ways than one,

Is it time to change red to blue

As in Thorne?

 

 

Republic is red

Independence is blue,

I would wish to know the answer;

Won’t you too?
