Greetings from the Ghetto,

Hail up my beloved sistren and brethren it is on a somber note I share this chapter of ghetto links.

I am in Newland St. Catherine, up in wee toms lane. As I enter the lane I see people sad and a complain.  A who do it? Dem should never do it, cuz it could be any one us grandmother, auntie, niece, sister or adopted mother. One more ghetto stalwart gone like butter inna sun. Not because she did stand up like Soujourn truth and har expression to straighten you out sound kinda brute. 

She is a woman of the soil, and when she is inna good mood her smile and aura touch you inna yuh okro root, and that again a truth.  Bob Marley truth, Marcus Garvey truth, Peter Tosh truth, all that time mi still a listen cuz I neva believe wha happen.

Then Roses who mi a check seh, "dem shoulda neva do it, cuz there is only one Christine Hewitt". The expression roll up in my mouth, but neva come out. The woman who use to host 'man talk' pon TVJ and promote stage show, adopt nuff pickney send dem a skool and mek dem mind grow.  Jah know mi think dem seh yuh reap what yuh sow.

It is sad to know, so further into the conversation I won't go, as tomorrow is promised to only one man. I held on to Roses hand, pulled her out of the crowd that had gathered and headed for her house where I a go help har sing a love song. I think you should do the same.

Suh hear wha, stay strong until next time.

If yuh have any question or comments ghetto link up want to hear from you. Link up to: ghettolinksjamaica@hotmail.com

Jah love Jah guide.
