officials to censor his work.

Ras Mykkal has followed in the footsteps of his recording debut, "Three Blind Mice'' which is about Jamaica's political affairs, with "Rudeboy inna de House'' which focuses on Bermudian politics.

The second effort was played once on Power 95 on Tuesday before being pulled along with the debut work -- which had been playing for two months.

Three Blind Mice was immediately pulled from a Jamaican radio station when it was featured there originally.

Mr. Mykkal, who performs in the Jamaican style of dub poetry -- poetry set to reggae music -- said: "Three Blind Mice was written about Jamaican politics from the observations I made while I was down there. It is very relevant to how politics are done everywhere and very much so in Bermuda, in my view.

"When I released the second song which is based more on Bermudian politics, both songs were pulled here.'' Mr. Mykkal said he would be meeting with Bermuda Broadcasting CEO Rick Richardson to find out why the songs were pulled.

"I have enjoyed a good working relationship with Power 95 in the past. I will sit down with Rick and find out what is going on and why they cannot play my songs.'' Mr. Richardson did not return calls placed to his office yesterday and as of yesterday afternoon Mr. Mykkal had not met with Mr. Richardson.

"I have called no names, I have not slandered anybody. I have said nothing more or less than what people write in their letters to the Editor (of The Royal Gazette ) or say on the talk shows,'' continued Mr. Mykkal.

"These two tracks are only to make people aware in song that some problems exist.'' In "Rudeboy inna de House'', Mr. Mykkal talks about an unnamed Government Minister's high recommendation for a new Police Commissioner for the Police Service and then his subsequent turnaround when that Commissioner leaves the post.

Mr. Mykkal said he felt that young people heard this verbal abuse of the Police and translated it to physical attacks.

"This same Minister has called these young people a bunch of thugs. Does he wonder if he has contributed to the behaviour of people who look up to him?'' he asked.

Government and Opposition Parliamentarians also had to refocus on issues of public interest and cease bickering between themselves, he added.

Mr. Mykkal said: "They have lost focus on the affect they might be having on the public. Fighting on the street and on Parliament Hill has no purpose.''
