Our children are being mentally and emotionally abused.

Our women are being physically abused.

Big men, in positions of power, are being emasculated, daily.

Known criminals and gang leaders are walking free as blood flows in the street like the Red Sea. On the other hand, some law-biding citizens, including hardworking and honest police officers are being publicly chastised.

Those who should know better are creating a feeling of distrust and inciting an onslaught on the institution tasked with fighting crime on our behalf.

The moral fabric of our society is being eroded with impunity.

But do not worry because this is who we are. Apparently too, we are in safe hands as we punch above our weight. After all, we in this together so I will stay the course and simply hope for a better life for our people.
