Speech For Alternative Creation" rather than a poem is written more as a code of conduct. With Berry repeating the phrase "Let us" and "We shall" he is referring to the white English imperialist and emphasizing their attitudes towards Jamaica and black individuals. As Berry writes, "Let us remove night, dawn, dusk, remove black thunder, leave lightning," (3-4). This quote is stating that all blacks should be gotten rid of and all that should be left is lightning, which is in reference to white English individuals. Throughout the poem Berry is giving examples of what England should do to Jamaica beginning with "Let us" or "We Shall". Another example that shows the power England had over Jamaica and the relationship of white versus black is where Berry writes, "We shall let it be law, that anything except immaculate conception is Miscegenation, that no white lady shall ride a black stallion," (21-24). Again Berry repeats the phrase "We shall" and in this quote is stating that interracial relationships are totally inappropriate also this quote can be taken as a sexual innuendo as no white females should be engaging in sexual intercourse with black males. With the repetition.
