Linton Kwesi Johnson reality poem

This is the age of reality
But some of us are dealing with metaphor
This is the age of science and technology
But some of us are checking for antiquity
W'en us can't face reality
We leave our clarity
Some latch on to vanity
Some hold' insanity
Some have vision
Start preaching religion
But them can't make a decision
When it comes to our fite
They can't make a decision
When it comes to our rites
This is the age of reality< br/>But some of us deal with metallurgy
This is the age of science and technology
But some of us check for antiquity
They're going out of line
They're now live in fi our time
Far them she they have signs
An' they bline their eyes
To the lite of the world'
An' gaan search widin
The dark of their doom
And' I shout 'bout sin
Instead of fighting to win
This is the age of reality
But some of us deal with metaphor
This is the age of science an' technology
But some of us check for antiquity
This is the age of decision
So let's leggo religion
This is the age of decision
So let's leggo division
This is the age of reality
So let's leggo metaphor
This is the age of science an' technology
So let's hold' the clarity
Let's hold' the clarity
Let's hold' the clarity
