THE EDITOR, Sir:
Dancehall artiste Ishawna deserved all the backlash she got, after posting on Instagram, "Mi nuh dress inna tablecloth like Miss Lou." Kei Miller gave a classic response, in poetry, which has now gone viral online with thousands of likes.
I share the view that we have failed our youth terribly in terms of teaching them about the significance of our icons and heroes, our culture, civics and national pride. Here's Miller's poem:
"What a ting, Miss Matty,
It really bun me hawt,
Look how dis gyal guh style mi
frock as so-so table clawt!
"But me prefer wear mi table
cloth,
wid hat and glove and boot
dan put mi self pan Instagram
in buttu birthday suit!
"But mi naah get inna temper
Mi ah guh hole mi tung
For she nuh got nuh dress at all
For mi guh dress her dung!"
