Labour Day Tribute
Salute!
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
The backbone of the public service is its officers Without you the public service would be tatters Minister wanting to be chief , Indian and bottle washers Life would be un- bearable without you service providers Police men, soldiers, nurses, teacher, dentist, and doctors Psychiatric nurse practitioners, councilors, social workers You are the movers and shakers Making this society better Executing the mandate of our policymakers
Although often not recognized Since things in Belize is highly politicized In a climate where supervisors are quick to chastise Yet you go to work with that sparkle in your eyes Knowing that you're helping your people to live more meaningful lives During this Public Service Day as you're being recognized Only you really know your worth and how you should be categorized It more than compensation that fuels your passion Belize becoming a better nation is your motivation
In saluting you, I need to remind you. There is only one you Love yourself Be impeccable in your speech Do not take anything personally Do not make assumption Always do your best And most of all love yourself!
At times you feel you are working for the ungrateful But it is in the serving of humanity that make your life meaningful Slow to appraise, working for minimum wage Bureaucracy and red tape and things still in the golden age While you are bursting you brain to get Belize on the world stage You leaders must be engaged Agitate; lobby, for the country to change its mandate Belize indeed has become a failed state Public officers, you all I congratulate Organize and safe your state Save your country before it's too late
Your union is only as strong as the membership You're input is needed to steer the ship Get involved and engaged and you will reap the benefits Insurance, medical, and scholarships You are the most precious national resource It's your needs that your union will endorse Collective bargaining agreement for the government to enforce
I salute you for being resolute I salute for being astute I salute you for standing against corruption I salute you for leaking information I salute you for being a part of the unions I salute you for affecting the policy that will transform this nation I salute you for the 2005 demonstrations I salute you for the love you have for your community I salute you for your dedication and tenacity I salute you for making us safe I salute you for serving us with grace

Chemical Engineering
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
Victims of chemical engineering, "stuffed and starved" To live as dependents and subjugated We are what we eat Eating white flour instead of wheat The foods we eat make us docile and weak Eating pork instead of sheep Eating less vegetables and more meat We are what we eat
Chinny man chicken on every street corner Rum shop and bars in every area Burritos and gacho fi tea and dinner Shops stocking up on cigarette and liquor Marijuana on every corner People drinking coke instead of water There is an increase of cirrhosis of the liver Noh wonder cancer is on the increase We are what we eat
Certain food makes you docile Certain foods make you agile Certain food makes you passive Certain food makes us aggressive Certain food makes us exhausted Certain food makes us insensate Certain food makes us passionate Certain food turns us into little volcanoes or earthquake People have to be mindful of their food intake
Eating animal fat and canned foods a lot Is how governments keep urban neighborhood on lock We need to fight back, by growing food in these open lots Or on our seventy five by seventy five plots Each neighbourhood investing in various six to eight weeks crops Stop eat all those pork ribs and pork chops All the pork and baked beans, pig tail and stew beans Pigtail in tomato sauce and onion, and hot dogs Scrambled eggs and ham with bacon or hamburgers; Macaroni and cheese with ham, stuffed pork, barbeque pork, stew pork Pig snout, pibill, roast pork, and pork sausage Clogs up you colon and passage Worms hold your body as a hostage This puts these capitalists at an advantage
I don't expect Belizeans to organize When our food is not electrolyzed We will never make a fuss Because our foods are not nutritious Making it difficult for our brain to process stuff Ramin just fulls us with all the aluminum influx Neck and back and white rice equals protein and sugar Dry bread and sugar and water, equals starch and sugar Noh wander people pancreatic disorder and problems with their liver
Diabetes due too much starch, cool aid and sugar Hypertension due to fatty Chinese fry chicken based in flour That's what's available so the people devour Cancer is stress related, the body itself releases certain fluids Cosmetics and chemicals and genetically manufactured preservatives Anorexia or obesity is ever-increasing No one is checking their calories Our exercise, alternatives are restricted Heart problems due to fast food HIV is transmitted of course with bodily fluids Through breast milk, sharing needles, blood transfusion with blood weh tainted and having sex unprotected
The villagers and people in the districts live longer The air is cleaner, the exercise by swimming in the river They hunt deer and eat iguana, their diet is much better We talk about their long water beans and corn tortilla Chaya and callalu with cerocie and bread or cassava Coconut oil, local fowl, and some corn tortilla Poor people back then mi healthier Now today more poor people have problems with their arteries Despite the fact their making huge salaries Een deh back yaad ground food and provision used to grow Sad to say that is not happening any more We are reaping what we sow

Belize Al-Qaeda
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
If you do the crime you should spend the time But in Belize no one is paying for white collar crime All they're getting is a slap on the wrist or paying a fine You can steal a million and only pay a ten thousand dollar fine The justice system is deaf, dumb and blind Whenever it gets in the mill the machine stop grind This system rewards white collar crime It crucifies the ghetto youth for petty crime Fih wah roach or a stick of weed, man di get fine Knowing they can't afford it, they will get confined
I call on all ex-soldiers Report to duty and let's address this urban war on terror We are being force-fed a culture of trauma and terror By gangster who operate like guerilla These fools are Belize Al-Qaeda Full blessings from PUDP ministers Their crooked lodge brothers Let's not forget their fraternity of magistrates and lawyers This is urban terrorism Facilitated by the judiciary and the prisons
Kickbacks and skimming from the top The Rotarians are getting all the contracts Using the parolees and prisoners to skim off the top And keep the city on lock Making a killing off the prisoners' backs Dah slave labour that, while the government gets kickbacks The gang leaders run the block, as foremen, keeping soldier intact They collecting payroll and taking out gang tax Check with the street soldier, they will share the facts
Under the guise of poverty alleviation The government has sub contracted a modern day slave plantation Belize's version of the industrialized complex The populace has no clue of this concept Treating our men like they're from the animal planet Emasculating and effeminizing our men Raping and humiliating them Separating them from their family and children
Criminal elements stockpiling on guns and ammunition The street projects is mapping their ferociousness and devotion Recruiting them for drug plane offloading missions Cocaine selling and distribution Perfect candidates for suicide operations Gang warfare and political manipulation This is how ministers control their garrisons Recruit centres for Columbians and Mexicans drug organizations With their drug operations The trusted soldiers are given the status as dan And are paid with cocaine drugs guns and ammunition

Race
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
Western civilization started with the Greeks Continued with the Romans freaks Evolved today into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization cheats Extension of white Christian Crusaders Imposing their religion on the southerners Unprecedented white Christian dynasty Ruling for some two thousand years of history
Last Week Russia celebrated its allies' victory over the Nazis Top brass of the BRICS military joined with them in solidarity This brotherhood of nations Resisting Western civilization Who represent just over half the world population No western Europeans, just Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa They've dared liberating themselves from the white supremist structure
When South African came under ANC They switch traditional trading with the north Would Dean try doing anything of that sort? He's so in love with the north Acquiescing to their hegemony too much for comfort Globally he is not held in such high observe His claim of corruption around him is absurd America is the only world power we know But in truth and in fact that isn't so We need to study geopolitics some more
We must take power from PUDP Through controlling the economic force of the country When they try to put pressure on the country We could switch trading with the BRICS countries They won't do to us what they did to Haiti After beating the French cruelly Times have changed politically; we can break away from the hegemony But we have to put the structures in place internally We need to go back to Garvey philosophy One God, One aim, One Destiny One of those structures is the independent party Then divide the tax system equality We can become a donor nation automatically
China is building a canal through Nicaragua And fast speed railway system overland A three way agreement with Peru, Brazil and China The Nicaraguan Canal will be able to pass bigger ships than Panama China is putting in the infrastructure in place By 2016 the US stronghold will be erased But where will Belize be in the race?

Sovereign immunity
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
Guatemalan gunboat given "sovereign immunity" In other words crown immunity Powerful forces are working against Belize internationally Legal protection that prevents a sovereign state from prosecution Belize told to back off Guatemalans just the laugh Harriers made their pass Signaling that Elizabeth still dah the boss Damages is 46,000 according to preliminary evaluation When historically it's always exceed $100,000 Belize's token government refuses to take a stand Belize's government is being paid by the Guatemalans Just as Antonio Soberanes, former union leader Just as PUP were during the Price era The games are the same the only difference is the players
Four Mexican officers found with weapons Stopped at the Boom checkpoint in a white Mazda Their names were not released Kept in custody for a short time and given back their piece Then government ordered their release According the Mexican Embassy press officer A section of the Geneva Convention Requires countries not at war to hand over prisoners Foreign soldiers violating our borders
Are our commanders soldiers or a bunch of "yes sir men"? Toy soldier put there to pretend Earl Arthurs was the best of them I can understand Mexico but not Guatemala When the constitution seh no citizenship fi any country weh no respect wi sovereignty Minister the naturalize Guatemalans happily No wonder no one respects our territory
Sovereign immunity means you can't touch mi I am protected by the international political economy This means exemption from the police and the military Except when they out rightly break the law Their immunity status can be withdrawn But our authorities no have no gall Belize's executive powers still lies in the Queen The PM is just of manager heading the Belize scene Elizabeth has reserved powers, you know weh I mean? She can revoke the constitution if her orders are not performed The US and England are Elizabeth daughters to which colonies must be warned

Keyren and Nora
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
Keyren kills but police said no murder� Dickie said she ought not to have been charged But instead brought up on a coroner's inquest What about all the police reports for future reference? She has since been charged for manslaughter Weh happen to the human rights lawyers? This sister ought not to be dragged through the courts in this manner This is the same thing that they have done to Ms Nora For allegedly lighting a police officer afire Some want to deny that she had been an expecting mother
Nora Parham was sentenced to execution In the history of Belize she was the first recorded woman Despite being constantly beaten by the policeman She was handed the book for killing the Queen's man Was it because he was in uniform? They needed to send a message the citizens to conform They were afraid burning police officers became the norm
Keyren needs to go before a coroner's inquest Women in the military should be in protest The commandant should have written the GG already Begging on behalf of his officer for clemency Perhaps he does not want the preservation of the country Nor the preservation of national security By making sure that there is a policy Protecting women in our security forces from gang rape All should be chastised who participated This type of behaviour must not be tolerated
Nora Parham must be exonerated Her family should be compensated Just as the charges against Keyren should be retracted The women's Department should be agitating I am yet to see a press release from the ministry of human development What about the Bench and Bar or is this inconvenient? Why have the opposition or the VIP not made a statement? This proves the state is decadent This was done for public appeasement But it is a black eye on the judiciary and the Police Department

Screams!
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
All the world's problems Can be attributed to men They come from one source The fatherless curse 89% of fatherless children End up pregnant, on gun charges or in the system Most times in Belize men are perpetrators of this mayhem
Domestic violence, socially deviant, some become gangster and thugs When all they really wanted was for their father to give them a hug These men grow up with hate Socially maladaptive and inadequate Unable to think and unable to communicate Men the world over are in a hellish state
Men are in crisis No self esteem, self image that's why they join ISIS Some are illiterate so they can't fully participate So they find ways to escape Smoking weed, drinking beer by the crate Telling themselves this is the way they recreate Yearning for someone to find some solace Not able to deal with disappointments they become desperate
Then the cycle continues I tell you men have issues Masking their hurt, fear and broken dreams Mimicking the masculine roles society are deem mainstream Then inside their souls their dying with violent screams Uneducated but wired to survive by any means They pick up guns, sell drugs, they have to provide the funds After they have baby moms
Labeled as gangsters and marginalized When government makes budget they are not patronized Men need healing Men's lives need meaning Men need reaffirming Men need some papering Men need definition Men need alphabetization Men need to learn communication Men need to learn to allow themselves to feel vulnerable Men need to know that life is can be simple Men need to learn how to cope Men need something to give them hope Men need to be believe in themselves Men need to get to know themselves Men need to redefine their masculinity Men need to get in touch with their divinity

Lie and Story
By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez
Fe fi fo fum I smell in the air devaluation First Caribbean announced the sale of their Belize operation It's being called the first of its kind maneuver This was an orchestrated merger After First Caribbean violated Money Laundering Prevention Act Stephen Duncan came under attack Arraigned on 113 charges back in 2008 Anyone knows the result of the case? All I know in my mouth there is a bad taste Defended by UDP FIU prosecutor BQ Pitts Things took an interesting twist
Then Duncan's second mystery This is an irony; Ysiguerrie Has limited experience in this industry Becomes Central Bank's HNIC The Central Bank governorship was slated for Duncan But their litigation brought everything into question He was rewarded with Heritage Bank Sights still on the assets of First Caribbean Bank Was this merger perhaps from his diagram? I beg to ask the question
It been years now that this plan has been in motion Woven with great anticipation Awaiting the Bank of America's retaliation Of them breaking the international banking regulations With little or no repercussion FIU with little or no successful prosecution Since its very inception due to alleged corruption Turning a blind eye to money laundering and tax evasion? America wants stricter regulations on the offshore banking regulations But that's how the PM and his colleges make their millions
Added to the equation Have the credit unions have been put under banking regulations So FIU could put in their fangs And that there is more liquidity for government if something was to go wrong Before there was none What's the next stop? Devaluation? Belizeans abroad will have difficulty sending money for Xmas ham Is this a repeat of 1949? This is what is suppose to be on Belizean minds Both Barrow and Fonseca are waste of time We need new leadership for the times Barrow is out the country so UDP di fly blind When these pronouncements are made Barrow out the country every time But then again PetroCaribe money have wih bind. Weh kind of lie and story we weh hear this time?

Medical Policy
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
Historically Belize had high standards medically Elders talk of medical quality In yesteryears paying twenty five cents for dentistry Doctors visiting schools regularly Paying $1.25 for dental surgery Thirty years later have we regressed? Is there provisions for a school health unit in Gob's impress? Despite advancement in technology Doctors returning from study Now rat di bight baby! Has gained us more embarrassment internationally
There is a National Reproductive Health policy Between 2004 to 2006 if mi mind noh di slip mi Emergernt Corp did the consultancy Now we have NHI where the follow up studies? Why are there no reports on the quality? We should be re visiting that data constantly Then adjusting accordingly There must be accountability, After all it is our social security money We need to defend it constantly
Based on triarch or priority The focus is that they are accompanied Zero to five for children, what is the school health policy? A semi American system where children get check up annually Why are there only two urologists in the country? We need a men's health clinic in this country The policy say zero to ninety what provisions are there for it? Even thought there is provision for adolescent health When will the impact of the provision is not being felt
Why can't teenagers access a gynecologist freely Or access birth control without company Why can teenage go to the clinic for birth control Arn't our policy makers over stepping their role Studies show early sexual activity Don't they have a right to protect their anatomy? To do HIV test or having a baby Teenagers need to be accompanied If they are ill will they be denied access medical facilities We need to revisit that policy What happens if there is an emergency? Will the teenager be left to die? Is there a conflict constitutionally?

Value for money
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
Politicians are employees We transform them to rats guarding cheese Is there any requirements? Canvassing for endorsement Is just another way of seeking employment? Electioneering is an application For the electorate to consent to them running the nation They are nothing but managers of the nation's wealth Boy! It's pure mediocre deals we are being dealt They should get annual appraisals Then increment approval
The prime minister and the governor general share executive powers But Sir Colville has become a rubber stamp governor A former NIP member Has somehow become a follower Once the PM used to have to negotiate For any bill that passed through the senate Making sure it was in the people's interest Dame Minita did not just acquiesce We need a new governor general be my guess
So with a UDP governor general UDP CEOs, when the Cabinet is disbanded UDPs interests will still be implemented Then with former CEOs being rewarded No wonder true development is being retarded Nine million a year being wasted
What is the minimum qualification? Are they required to be bilingual? There is propaganda about citizenship being dual Since they are full time employees Having private businesses and other jobs is killing their productivity Some have law firms, constructions and security companies Both at local and general level are we getting value for money? Then there is Mayor Bradley who is also an attorney How effective can they be? That's why we need a new party
Shouldn't they provide a medical? Declare all their financials Belizeans need to be more critical and analytical If not we will be employing mobsters For ministers with campaign funds coming from mafias Shouldn't they have a clean police record? That's why permanent secretaries need to be restored Cabinet non productivity Belize can no longer afford I am stating this for the record
