Di Good Life by Linton Kwesi Johnson


Sowshallism

is a wise ole shephad

im suvvie tru flood

tru drout

tru blizad

 

somme people seh

im a two hundred an odd years ole

addah people seh

notn noh goh soh

dat im a jus seventy odd years ole

some seh im is a ghost

some seh im is a sage

but nohbady noh really know

im riteful age ar whey im come fram

 

fateful is im flock

from di ewe to di ram to di iam

rite tru tick an tin

dem mostly cling to im

awftah all

noh im guide an sheltah an proteck dem ?

( sometime a dem haffi proteck im dow

like ow a dem haffi proteck im now )

look ow im stretch out pan im back

pan di brown grass

di white hair pan im branze hed

like a kushan gense di weepin willow tree

lookin bedraggled an tin

like seh life done wid im

like seh im is totally at peace widin

 

noh baddah goh feel sarry fi im

ar goh tink poor ting

nat a ting noh dhu im

all dat really happn

is dat due to di heat a di time

like lickle bwoy blue im drap asleep

an a dream bout lickle bow peep

 

an wan an two a im flock dem drif a way

while di addah ism dem

jus a watch an a peep

jus a crawl an a creep

an noh baddah ask if dem naw mek fun

fi canfuse an cansume all di stray dem

 

but evryting is jus fi a time

soon di flack wi tek a stack an surmise

ow far fram di fole dem a stray

wen dem site ow di pack jus a staak dem

dem wi come back togeddah wance agen

an shephad di sage to a highah graun

whichpawt di graas is greenah an sweetah

whichpawt di breeze blow is like a balm

whichpawt di stream run quietah an coolah

whichpawt life can pleasant can be calm
