Linton Kwesi Johnson - Reality Poem

This is the age of reality
But some a we a deal with mythology
This is the age of science an' technology
But some a we check fi antiquity

W'en we can't face reality
We leggo we clarity
Some latch on to vanity
Some hol' insanity
Some get vision
Start preach religion
But dem can't mek decision
W'en it come to we fight
Dem can't mek decision
W'en it comes to we rites, man

This is the age of reality
But some a we deal with mythology
This is the age of science an' technology
But some a we check fi antiquity

Dem one deh gone outta line
Dem nah live in fi we time
For dem she dem get sign
An' dem blind dem eye
To the light a the worl'
An' gone search within
The dark a dem doom
An' a shout 'bout sin
Instead a fight fi win, man

This is the age of reality
But some a we deal with mythology
This is the age of science an' technology
But some a we check fi antiquity

(..)

Dis is the age of decision
So mek we leggo religion
Dis is the age of decision
So mek we leggo division
Dis is the age of reality
So mek we leggo mythology
Dis is the age of science an' technology
So mek we hol' the clarity
Mek we hol' the clarity
Mek we hol' the clarity
