RE: One Day Yuh A Guh Dead! [ Patois Poetry ] by DMiLLiZ

Strong poetry. I felt the emotion while reading it.

Facebook posts coming like the new obituary

Especially this is a strong statement of how current times are.
Sorry about your friends father. Dealing with lost loved ones can be hard, but this is a good way of doing it.

Jamaican patois is easy to understand when heard, but reading is a bit more challenging. I had no trouble understanding it, but my reading speed was cut in half. 😅

Thanks man, poetry is a good way to get the feelings out especially when you live in a place like Japan where people don't express themselves much and expect you to do the same.

Yeah man, I can imagine, the patois should sound familiar too. The island vibes is 😄 the reading indeed can be a bitch, even the writing as there is no right way to spell a lot of the words 😆

As long as you find a way to express them. Keeping everything bottled up is never a good thing.
