Freedom Blues - Poem by Jamal Sky Parchment Folarin


     freedom blues
     my people i want to be with you
     freedom blues
     babylon what more do you want me to do
     freedom blues
     i am pouring my heart out to you
     as night turns to day
     babylon took me away
     they put me in a cell its worser than hell
     so every night i pray
     god free me out of this captivity believe me
     i am an innocent man, my people believe me
     that is why i sing
     freedom blues
     my people i will soon be with you
     goverment what more do you want me to do
     freedom blues
     my family and friends i deserve to be with you

Welcome!

Hi  This is the brand new blog for JENGbA :)
  
It's not instead of the website at www.jointenterprise.co  - it's for news, contributions, features...anything related to Joint Enterprise about the law, JENGbA's work, and about the people who are affected by JE.

Each balloon in this picture has a tag with the name of a person convicted under Joint Enterprise.  JENGbA was formed to campaign for a change in the law and so that everyone unjustly imprisoned by JE is fairly treated.
