Just Say No

It’s time we start recognizing that any representative of our nation cannot contradict the core values of this same nation. We endorse the fight against drugs and are like many other nations, caught in expensive bandades to cover-up the scars. How could we allow for anyone in the forefront and in an influential position who is an obvious user? Thanks BE for this inspiration

 

Just Say No

I don’t know the man but I hear that he

Keeps smoking the stuff and appearing publicly

Ambassador for Barbados in Pan African talks

Even though he insults us with this path he walks

Local and international campaign

Tells us how we must refrain

And millions are spent each year

Rehabilitating those polluting our safe air

A guy questioned this envoy’s genealogy

For me it’s irrelevant, a man’s pedigree

I don’t advocate for this marginalization

This can only serve to segregate a nation

Racism in reverse can be an ugly sight

And great men died for blacks, though they were white

So if you will take a stand today

His actions should tell you where you must sway
