Vagrancy and the economy

Addendum To Trinidad & Tobago Why Are You Treating Your People So?

Well let me update you on the people’s fate
I went back to T&T in July of late

What I saw made me stop to think of the voting debate
Streets were paved in many a conspicuous place

Sign posts were painted and pointing the right way
I had to speculate this was only done close to the voting date

It never fails to see how the Government tries to manipulate
People hope their Party will help them in their destitute state

A dab of paint here a little pitch there where the eyes could see
Brainwashing begins by manipulative strategies and inviting policies

Well tell me T&T, what have you recently done about the vagrancy?
You removed the people when Obama was coming to your country
You hide or fix the stuff you would not want a black President to see

For shame the joblessness and lawlessness continues
Crime could be curtailed and drunkenness lessened

It is the Calypsonians and steel bands bringing in the most annual revenue
People come from all over the world to hear their favorite band play on the Avenue

Many tell me without Calypso and steel band their will be no show
Merchants and vendors look forward to the boost in T&T’s economy and that is no joke

I will like to see crime curtailed and more job openings for the people of this sweet country
I will like to see less vagrancy and a boost in the economy

Until next time I come to sweet T&T
Take care of each other and please do not forget your mother, sister and brother
Together we aspire and together we will achieve!

Smoke and mirrors and we fall for it and joke at the rumshop or upscale bar, "Ah my people , what we go do" that is the cry for , high cost of living, crime, and the sense of ineffective government and laws not implemented. My people need to wake up.
