Classroom injustice

Jodyann89

 He he yaa! Story come to bump!

Teacha put di whole a we inna one group

And none cyaa help none out

Shi say shi haffi use dis yaa approach yaa

Suh shi can re-teach and reinforce

Accelerate di bright one dem

But once di sense 

When water always teck di same course

Di fast one dem get all the attention

All we face a discrimination, humiliation

And stigmatization

Sometimes mi haffi wonda if dis a retribution.

And teacha clueless, shi live inna illusion

Cause from mi born, mi know each one, teach one

You know waa mi a talk bout di great inclusion

But wi a gwaan hol it eno

Wi haffi stay strong 

Cause dem label wi 

Call wi di dunce clan

But wi nuh dunce eno

Wi jus need a helping han

Give wi a crutch

Help wi along

And u woulda see how wi tun up

Matriculation

Step out inna gown, inna graduation

But we tiad a it

Frustration

Dis ya academic demarkation

We need a voice

We need a radio station

If you feel mi pain

Link  ministry of Education

Tell dem dis a modern day plantation

Blind a lead, there  is no vision

We nah retreat, no compromision

We need help now!

We need a decision

Dis a my message

Convey it with compromision!
