Sonny's Lettah (Anti-Sus Poem) - Linton Kwesi Johnson[00:00:00]

Dear mama[00:00:41]

Good day[00:00:43]

I hope that when these few lines reach you they may[00:00:45]

I doun know how to tell ya dis[00:00:52]

For I did mek a solemn promise[00:00:57]

To tek care a lickle Jim[00:01:00]

To go home fi dem evenin shower[00:01:24]

Mi an Jim stan up waitin pon a bus[00:01:28]

Not causin no fuss[00:01:31]

When all of a sudden a police van pull up[00:01:34]

Out jump tree policemen[00:01:38]

De whole a dem carryin baton[00:01:41]

Dem walk straight up to me and Jim[00:01:45]
