Get ready to fight tooth and nail

Be prepared to jump over hurdles and through hoops

Be prepared to climb mountains

Back and forth...forth and back
It's the system...the government system

Clearing a barrel?
Go up a top,
Go down bottom
Go back up top
Go back to bottom
Back and forth...forth and back
It's the system...the government system

Lose a car title
Go to the police,
Go to the insurance agency
Go to the fitness office
Write a letter
Tomorrow get ready for new procedures
Back and forth...forth and back
It's the system ...the government system

Publish a children's book
Send the book to American Ivy League universities
Receive immediate warm reactions
Send the book to the Jamaican Education Ministry
Nobody can account for the whereabouts of the book
Nobody knows the ministry's reactions

Nobody knows anything

Back and forth...forth and back

It's the system...the government system

Starting a business

Sending Items for the needy

Returning to reside in Jamaica

Red tape...bureaucracy

Incompetency...impersonal...unfriendly...uncaring...condescending

Back and forth...forth and back

It's the system...the government system

$117.825 Million Dollar Travel Expenses For Jamaican Prime Minister And Ministers

Portia Simpson and her cabinet should be a shame of themselves! Jamaica is experiencing severe financial crisis with high unemployment and continuous increases in basic items yet these government leaders see no reason to show any sympathy for the struggles of the people and the economy. They continue to live off tax payers and show no sign that they intend to cutback with their expensive lifestyle. Not only does Portia brag at spending  millions on foreign travel, she cannot account for the specific outcomes from her unnecessary trips. Hopefully foreign lenders are taking a note of how these Jamaican leaders are squandering money for personal gains instead of using it to the benefit of the country.
