A man of guts
This poem is about a man
This man was born in 1822
And was deacon Baptist too
From stony gut Morant Bay
To the court house of the day
He led a march to fight against
Poverty and to bring about some justice
Nearly 500 people died man and woman gone
Lef them child
Some were flogged and some were punished before
Order was restored
He was captured and hang for his crime
His forceful demonstration disturb the governments peace of mind
But it would not be long before a next star would rise
Paul Bogle was a hero in 1969
His forceful demonstration recorded in time
