DARK SHADOWS: Hovering over Saint Lucia
Not
all
that
glitters
is
gold,
yes
folks
the
saying
is
correctly
right,
in
St.
Lucia
today
one
would
not
believe
below
the
facade
lies
corruption
and
death.
I
get
to
thinking
that
someday
someone
who
is
born
in
St.
Lucia
will
elevate
and
chase
those
radical
misfits
out
of
the
Island,
mind
you
they
now
have
a
secure
den
to
hide
in,
and
regardless
of
how
deep
they
go,
the
power
of
prevention
can
stop
them.
They
are
like
rodents
who
when
their
population
increases
show
up
everywhere,
big
talk
and
small-minded
people,
living
on
your
Island
resources
of
sun
sand,
and
seawater,
nothing
wrong
with
our
visitors
to
fair
Helen
but
how
long
do
you
think
they
will
last
with
the
level
of
crime
being
committed,
and
not
on
an
average
basis
those
thugs
spend
their
worthless
hours
thinking
about
another
killing, yet another suffering parent.
Mwen peh Bravo to the artist for having the courage to express in a song about our precious St. Lucia's soon-to-be demise. Well, folks, you should be afraid indeed, there is serious cancer biting away at your Island and you have no idea that it exists if you did you would be really afraid. I have to warn you that the Island is slowly changing hands becoming a slave of Twinase, the Chinese, the world bank, and sadly your representatives. The artist entertains you with his music you sing and dance to the tune if you are not careful, soon you will be mourning and weeping. As a people, we always waited till the very end to rise as one, this is no time to be slothful, no time to wait and see, its time for action, your plight began with your people whom you place in power to represent you, well they did and are doing more than representation they are causing degradation, most of them are thieves selling the island under your very nose, while you praise them for little favors. Sometimes to see the problem facing you, one must step out and take a closer look to pinpoint the fault, unlike technology which reverts to the default, this one problem situation escalates and plunge into a disaster where it is found dead. There are those among you that think themselves safe because they have more resources and can dominate others, those people will someday wake up to a rude awaking finding that their money is no good. It has now started with uncontrollable crime, it darn tooting easy to kill with the importation of guns to the Island, think about it, you don’t have a gun factory on the island have you? You don’t replicate bullets either, yes they are all imported right under your noses passed by the very new rulers you gave citizenship, to and by the thugs you put in power over you. Don’t murmur to yourself saying I did not know for I told you so, do not say to yourself me! I am not in that very stupid you are in it to the hilt, for when the shit hit the fan everyone got sprayed and rain on your parade, for a while I have been telling you to buckle up and do the right thing, look to among you for a righteous person and set your house in order, I don’t have the solution but you do living on the Island it's your call if you want to. MY people have been idle for too long, while other countries fight for freedom, you sit on your asses waiting for someone to bail you out, freedom does not come cheap, and when let to decay it stinks and you with it. So yes Morgie, mwen peh by the way excellent job son of the soil – The Land The People – looking for the Light. COME TOGETHER AS ONEOUI’ MAMA

NO! THEY WILL NOT COME ANYMORE
BREAKING THE BARRIER
Now
I
am
not
one
to
tell
you
what
you
should
do,
since
before
then
you
remain
silent,
your
eyes
to
the
blasted
small
but
deadly
crimes
being
committed in all fractions of the Island, but I have some thoughts on the matter which may halt crime on the island slowly but surely.
It’s
a
simple
thing
the
people
of
St.
Lucia
must
do,
yours
is
but
a
small
Island
divided
by
several
communities,
instead
of
the
loose
talk
by
Dick,
Tom,
or
Harry,
come
together
as
one,
and
how
you
do
this
is
through
constituencies
meetings,
every
community
should
host
a
town
open-air
meeting,
encouraging
the
residence
to
attend,
the
residents,
in
turn,
should
be
asked
to
become
gatekeepers,
whether
it
is
their
son,
daughter
or
the
neighbor
next
door
disturbing
the
peace.
Make
the
people
police
themselves
eventually
those
rotten
misguided
citizens
will
have
to
stop,
yes some of your neighbors are receiving kickback pay to look the other way, profiting by the ill-gotten gain of their children for a livelihood.
Yes
become
your
brother's
keeper,
it
is
better
than
to
suffer
openly
or
in
silence,
root
out
the
violence,
and
go
to
the
root
cause
it's
your
children doing it.
I
recalled
ten
years
ago
someone
a
mother
was
killed
by
rival
gangs,
her
mistake
was
living
her
husband
to
become
bookkeeper
to
her
son
drug
trafficker,
she
knew
but
the
temptation
of
having
much
took
the
presidency,
well
there
are
a
lot
of
those
in
your
community
root
them
out
make a frequent report.
If
you
inconvenience
them
they
will
not
flourish,
and
if
the
piper
is
not
piping
the
rats
cannot
dance,
go
ahead
and
give
it
a
try
that
is
if
you
want
to
curb
the
violence
in
your
towns
and
villages.
What
is
happening
makes
me
very
sad
indeed,
and
we
should
take
measures
to
combat
it
lawfully any way we can, even to the point of spying on each other until all the law breaks to leave the Island or ahead to parental warnings.
Come together as one.
DARK SHADOWS
ON THE HORIZON
MAKING YOUR VOICE HEARD
SONS AND DAUGHTRS OF SAINT LUCIA
PLAYING THE BLAME GAME SAINT LUCIA BIG DOGS
Even amid disaster, they find time to bicker and point blame at each other, bastards open your eyes to the suffering of my people. We will do this, we will do that, Show me a man or a woman in Saint Lucia with a vision, tell me lies, and make believe you care, show me a man who would stand tall among other men, who will come forward to quench the violence in my beloved Saint Lucia, Island in the sun. We do not replicate bullets of any kind here, and we have no gun factory on the Island, yet we are plagued by constant shootings of one sort or the other, followed by a hail of flattery talk by the official. Even amid disaster, they find time to bicker and point blame at each other, bastards open your eyes to the suffering of my people. We will do this, we will do that, we have started talks with the officials the police department will do what exactly, where were they when one of their citizens got killed, where were they when two of your citizen got killed, at number three they are still missing in action. Yes show me a man with a vision, poor Kenny's words can heal our nation, yes, action can cure the wound, if the police are not able to police such a small town like Vieux- Fort then there is no hope for the Castries people, then what will Pierre do? the blatant truth of the matter is that we have sold our birthright to foreigners and given them the liberty to come and go as they, please. Your greed to have plenty has blinded your vision, giving president to foreign dictatorships and people of rebellious character, doing what they have done in their province long before you openly welcome them with love and throw down the key to the city to them. Make no mistake those gangs or those outlaws, have a master, and that may be your kin so who will police the police when corruption is at its peak? Wake up my people, Tiawanise, and all foreign nationals who are now nesting in your fair cities, building themselves cities, and businesses, they have back doors to a crime syndicate and the entry port is wide open to guns and bullets. Do you think it is one of your local citizens importing those weapons of mass destruction, if you believe this then you are a bigger fool than I thought, go ahead and check their warehouses, and see if they will open it to you, that is how they dominate and oppress their people now you. If the status quo is to jail someone who has committed such a brazen crime, you have but lost the fight, money talks bull shit walks, I say if you are pronounced guilty hang them. St. Lucians you should not be allowed anyone who has firearms to sell or trade on the Island, nor carry conceal weapons, go ahead call the army, call the CID, you might as well call Ghost Busters for all the good it will do you if you cannot come together and kick some asses. Come Together as one:
COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW
A HOUSE DIVIDED
HEROES OF SAINT LUCIA
DARK SHADOWS SAINT LUCIA IN DECLINE WHO WILL COME TO ITS AID. Heroes of Saint Lucia I know you are feeling the heat, think back to the time of calm and prosperity, when all citizens enjoy a hard day's work when putting food on your table was your biggest worry, yes there were some disturbances, but that was easily crushed with severe punishment and a tight firm hand, oh yes we had the Odlums’s and the Joseys their fight was for the country. In the 70s we had great pioneers like my grand uncle, Allen Montgomery Lewis, country before self. In came lighten road John who had his faults, but the country was safe under his watch, he knew how to balance wealth and greed. Ever since our heroes were dead and gone, the brigand moved in, the first thing they did was to create an atmosphere of hate among you my people, followed by the brainwashing of people who place people before themselves. You have seen the writing on the wall, when will you wake up and reclaim your Island home, don’t blame the youth, there will always be followers, but if the teaching is sound and the discipline is right, then the arrow that leaves the bow should find its mark. Everyone needs an opportunity to progress depriving one sect empowered the wayward undisciplined person to turn to crime, if you look at a barefooted person and jeer at their misfortune, not lending sympathy and love, frankly no wonder you are in this mess. Go back to the correction board, open your arms to the needy, offer help of the sort you can, a job, an education scholarship, a good earn position, and quit gender discrimination, our gals have always been leaders both at home and in the workplaces, test the waters and promote within, you may be surprised to find a Moses or a goliath emerging in our young ladies. Of course, this encouraging editorial will not see the comment section, they don’t think you should have a say on the delegation of your own home Island, who cares I don’t need their comment section, you can read my thoughts on my international page, kenvilgatkins.com there are heroes and there are cowards, ASK YOURSELF which one are you.
Magazine
OUI’ MAMA CA FAIT MAL
LEVELING THE PLAYGROUND
HAVE COURAGE SAINT LUCIA Finally, some encouraging news from guess who, a lady cop bravo, I sense the spirit moving, and the force is strong in that one!, now who else wants to jump-start the war machine, let's hear it Saint Lucia shout it out on the rooftops, we will take no more. Make the criminals see and feel your wrath in all corners of the Island, your fight is a holy fight, and you must prevail in this endeavor, I am extremely happy and excited to boot Saint Lucia, by this report. I always say our ladies know how to organize and take no quarters. Make no mistake the fight ahead will be hard, but you have the power to overcome, and time is on your side, finally an encouraging news one which I take with delight. Respect is earned, concentrate on leveling the playground Saint Lucia, this is no time to be parted on the back, this is no time to reason why, but to do and fight, when you will have driven all the pushers, the traffickers, the thieves, the murders, and the crocked representatives into the sea, then you will have earned my respect. I too am a born Saint Lucian, my grand uncle has been one of the leaders of our small nation Island, he rules with integrity, and the people love him. It was a time of innocent a time to refresh one’s spirit with agape love, Saint Lucia you are now on the right track, move ahead with faith in your heart and the victory will be yours. When you walk through a storm, you must keep your head high, and don’t be afraid of the cowards who Luc in the shadows to victimize your citizen, for you and you alone can bring them to justice, you are not the western world so don’t think like them, whosoever is found guilty of committing a lawless crime, should be swiftly punished, if you kill you should receive the same punishment, if you crop our citizen you should be jail and flog daily. Now think of rewriting your laws to fit the punishment, your efforts will be wasted if you harbor and give them a safety net to hide, criminals are not fools, especially the smart ones who research the law to fit into their agenda, Sait Lucia to be victorious you must return to basic, there is no time to be politically correct, we are at war. Have courage citizens of Saint Lucia, a new day is coming to make hay while the sun shines, continue the momentum set by your Moses to be.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL COP
A CALL TO ACTION
DUST OFF YOUR GOVERNMENT BOOTS:
I
the
poet
write
to
my
people,
the
native-born
Saint
Lucian,
I
know
your
strength,
yes
I
do!
And
I
know
your
weakness,
your
weaknesses
are
you
are
very
slow
to
anger and think it best not to meddle in other’s business, you stay at a distance looking in.
Whereas
it’s
a
rare
noble
quality
to
live
by,
I
employ
you
to
make
some
changes
and
support
your
local
officers
in
the
fight
for
deliverance,
and
that
brings
me
to
your
strengths,
most
admirable
you
are
a
people
with
a
noble
heart,
a
generous
soul
that
would
help
each
other
in times of trouble, those qualities only derive from Citizen born in Saint Lucia no other.
Normally
I
would
not
instruct
you
in
one
way
or
another
until
I
see
the
fire
in
your
determination
to
rid
out
evil,
so
I
am
pleading
with
you
to
support
the
top
cop
and
her
squad
to
uphold
justice
in
your
Island
home,
now
is
not
the
time
to
stand
idle
by
and
watch
through
your
bedroom
blinds,
your
salvation
depends
on
you
doing
the
right
thing
volunteer and be a voice heard throughout the Island.
Crime
segregates
a
society,
corrupts
a
nation,
kills
a
democracy,
and
plagues
a
people
to
a
point
of
no
return,
I
believe
the
new
Moses
will
be
your
shepherd
of
deliverance
from
those
who would blacken your precious simple beautiful Saint Lucia.
Avoid
a
lifetime
of
grief,
take
up
the
banner
forward
ever
backward
never,
and
make
this
your calling song, the lady cop needs you forward children of Saint Lucia.
The poet.
CRUSITA PELIUS - DESCARTES
UNTIL YOU CLEAN UP YOUR BACK YARD SAINT LUCIA
A DANIEL COMES TO JUDGEMENT
CRUSITA PELIUS DESCARTES THE NEW MOSES And it came to pass just as I was beginning to lose faith, in the ability of our brave men and women of the police force, a Daniel came up to judgment. Yes, Saint Lucia all you now have to do is shoulder you’re top cop administration, words of encouragement are now needed to muster the burden placed on those brave souls. bluntly speaking may almighty God protect you all in your fight for oneness and the cleansing of Saint Lucia. To the administration who promise to sweep those vandals out of Saint Lucia, there is no better time but now to support your local sheriff, Saint Lucia's top cop as she catches fire striking a blow on behalf of the entire citizen of Saint Lucia, unity makes strength, onward Christian soldiers. To the top cop who now has given me hope, once more to gradually change my belief, that there is power in one individual whose loyalty is unquestionable, second to the love of her people I salute you. Now the fight has begun, the arrow has left and i s in flight, may I remind you that there will be roadblocks, some weak hearts may falter out of fear, just remember it is always darkest before the dawn, so trod on, please Saint Lucia support your top cop, mom’s and Pops, grand ma’s going into your secret corner and say a prayer for the men in blue who is willing to tackle this dilemma brought on our beloved Island, it will take a lot of doing to un-nest those crocked bastards, hit them on all fronts. Saint Lucia is full of secured areas, Micoud up to Channels alone has scores of vantage places where the enemy can hide, so search the beach fronts and inland religiously and vigorously. Don’t spare the countryside place sentries to block their retreat, cast a net over the Island, and give them hell.

DOPIE OUTPUT:
With the utmost respect am I to understand that the people of Saint Lucia, lack the mental capacity to
distinguish lies from fiction, tell me it's
not so, is one individual able to muzzle
the will of the majority of a well-
educated citizen of this nation, again tell
me it's not so! on the contrary, should
there even be strife and discord
between brethren of such a small place,
when most of the citizens are related in
some way or other?’
What is this fight for, do you call this
progress, is it helping to curb the
violence within the structure of the
country, listen here this internal power
struggle is not benefiting our people in
any way, the negative destructive vibes
are killing even democracy at its core.
The oath of allegiance taken by the
people, who decide on behalf of the
citizen, is in jeopardy of being caught
out, and the government is becoming
nothing but a game show, if so! Allowed
me to impute my say and Let's name this show Jeopardy, for
impeaching on the rights
of the individual by any one citizen is wrong, in the court, and any other venture, there should have been
placed beforehand checks and balances, monitoring all governing members of all parties' actions, not just the
ruling party, but the opposition as well, therefore avoiding second hand, witch hunts which are after the facts.
Honesty and integrity are noble sentiments, they should not be on trial here in Saint Lucia, and the scandal
that spews out of the Island, makes the nation's constitution seems like sitting at a gigantic laughing puppet
show. And many are fueling this worthless scandalizing dope output.
Gird your loins Saint Lucia quit this political bullshit and get serious about performing, and maintain a serious
progressive platform, everyone everywhere all citizens of Saint Lucia, your pride is on trial by a few rotten
apples.
Go figure.
