Some of dem does be goin’ to real desperate measures to hold on to power. Dem could mek an action movie outta some of dem antics! Dem wah addicted to power makin’ a spectacle of demselves.
But yuh see, deh ting dat mek it even funnier is dat in de end, nobody takin’ dat power wit’ dem to de Great Beyond! Is like tryin’ to pack a suitcase with nothing inside.
