Locked Up Abroad In Barbados

Maybe I was too hyped but last night Zara could have been in any country, I saw nothing to “Bajanize” the picture. The entire program managed to do is to make you feel like Zara should either get away with he crime or be treated leniently. Ever criminal has a choice and unfortunately, she realized it too late. The irony of it all is that she only started to see the severity of what she was doing when she realized that she was carrying a child. The drugs that she was trying to smuggle were headed to destroy the lives of many other children.

 

Locked Up Abroad In Barbados

 

Laff it Off stars appeared last night

Only not on stage but in the Silver Screen light

Characters portrayed on National Geographics

Kudos to all who got their debut flicks

Every Bajan wanted a moment to feel proud

Districts all over had their TV’s up load

Under watchful eyes and great scrutiny

People were looking out for each local celebrity

And if they were unfamiliar with the usual format

Bajans may now be asking “And dah is dat?”

Right when the narration finally got to the jail

Only a few minutes were spent, with little detail

Arraigned and sentenced without no recourse

Didn’t show why their conduct alerted our police force

I wanted more questions answered but they were brushed aside

No interaction in our jail, with whom did she confide

Basic information like where and when

Are still as illusive as last night at 10

Research Barbados, give us more speaking parts

Bring greater awareness into Bajans’ natural arts

A coverage of life in our penitentiary

Dramatized by our people, that’s where the focus should be

Over expectations I know but it was all the hype and fuss

So I came away with nothing from Locked Up Abroad in Barbados
