Letter to the British Museum and the Tower of London

Another poem that runs around in my head.  this has to be performed with a strong Caribbean accent.

#256 Give Mi Back My Tings


Give mi back my tings

give mi back my tings
is long long long you have my tings
so give me back my tings

you took them so long ago
you thought I forgot
what you think I don’t know?

give mi back my tings
give mi back my tings
you have taken so much
rubbished it and mocked it
so give mi back my tings

you really have no use for it
you don’t know what half deese tings is
so give mi back my tings
give mi back my tings
I have traveled so far
now I want my tings
I represent my people
the ones who are too feeble
the ones who just don’t care
one day they will thank me
for the challenge I put here

give mi back my tings
give mi back my tings
not leaving till I have my peoples tings!
mi nah leff here till I have mi people tings!
