A quote that many people have not concidered, until the time comes when they have to face it. Want it or not the natural fact is we start of full of beans, with supported a child plays and learns all day with.The adult is now full of strenth and knowledge to put in a hard days work, but hey we can manage without support, and stand on our own two feet. Then comes down hill, full of aches and pains the flesh and bones are now worn and torn, and the human is once again in need of support, it's count down time, like a flower in bloom at some time it will wither and die.

Paulette Singh is at her last year of university, studing to become a BA Illustrator. As a summer project she was asked to do an illustration of a recent world media broadcast that she found most upsetting. Being of a native Jamaican she chose to capture the distrurbing image of her country - once known as the land of wood and water, or the land of paradise turned into a war zone. Below dear readers you will find the authors interpretation of what she had in mind while creating the image.


As a child of my Claredonian born mother, and Westmorland born father, every sunday after dinner along with my siblings I was priviledged to be a part of our family time together, accompanied by a good story and followed by a memorable sing along. My parent would use the time to share their life values with us, and one of them being value of togetherness, which I have come to greatly appreciate. I was always told “united we stand and devided we fall.”


I love Jamaica and it’s sence of freedom, something i don’t get in Britain, and would easily trade places to live.Jamaica is a place with all year round cultivation, with a rich varaity of vegatable and fruits to choose from, It is easy to eat health at a low cost. It is a place of constant sunshine, midday breeze of the sea and the relaxing sound of the waves by night....Though on the other side there is war and animosity amongst its countrymen, and if they do not ceases - there will soon be nowhere ion Jamaica for touristto celebrate, and the native Jamaican born abroad may have no other alternative, but to stay abroad and sadly watch their history and “the land of paradise” dissapear. I iwsh the people could see and recognize what they have and what is happening to their beautiful country.


The image sent with artical reprtesents some of the divistions and sad, but real issues Jamaica is faced with at this present time. I want this image to be published to hopefully help some people regain the focus, and realize what has to happen.


Jamaicans are surrounded by chuches, yet the voices of drugs of all kind are embraced by the deserate and naive, many times simply because he or she has got to much time one their hands. It can be argued that the majority of the youth in Jamaica had lost value for living and resigned to violence and materialistic attitudes instead. The image reprtesents a Mothers sorrow, while they lay their kins to rest, the Bible continues to bleed upon certain parts of the Island inspite of the amount of churches standing.


Whose reponsiblity is it to initiate the change?


Is this country strangled because of the two political parties?


What have changed for the better since the hands of leaders of the two opposing parties, Micheal Manley (PNP) and Edward Seaga (JLP) were together by Bob Marley at his One Love concert, which took place in Jamaica in 1978 attracting 32,000 spectators?








The Queen of England has always been in the background, rather than the forefront of the country.



The “Robin Hood” of Jamaica is used more as a diversion, rather than a problem creator in my opinion.

The other known figures appearing in this image I hope will also be recognized without my introduction, and their pupose and input will be judged individually by the reader of this artical.



I hope this image will help to inspire a willingness to help create a positive change, and as I shed my tears for the innocent, I pray for a brigter tommorrw....I hope to see the focus back on the innocent children, being tought to do unto others as they would like to have done unto them. I strongly belive it is time to put down the guns, and time to stop crime. Time to allow our land of paradise to stand up to it’s name and time to our children grow and benifit from peace. It’s time to unite.
