    Beautiful words and diction. Had the pleasure to hear and meet him at David Oluwale memorial last week. Best Saturday morning I ever spent.

    I met him during Carifesta in Barbados in 1981 at a session at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies.

    Profound and insightful as ever. This describes the black struggle but also transcends it.

      All the transcriptions of this on the Internet seem to be twaddle, so do your ears a favour instead, young people!

    W'en wi can't face reality
    Wi leggo wi clarity
    Some latch aan to vanity
    Some hol' insanity
    Some get vision
    Start preach relijan
    But dem can't mek decishan
    W'en it come to we fite
    Dem can't mek decishan
    W'en it comes to wi rites ...Man !

    Come on Penguin, the poem's title is "Tings an' times". You're the publisher, dammit.

    Hope you'll apreciate it, much respect to Linton Kwesie Johnson, mighty and humble man.
    One love and unity.
