independence for country

Forge from the love of liberty

and too often Independence Day is just another

holi-head for the beach, lime late the night before,

thank God for this long weekend day

happy 47^th

but shouldn’t maturity have kicked in already T&T

shouldn’t we have progressed beyond facelifts

and skirting issues

shouldn’t we be sitting around round tables

erasing this hierarchy of ideals aka illusions

that 90% of T&T would never feel outside

the burglar proofing of our mind

trying to safeguard our thoughts

praying for miracles

shifting blame

when there is nothing wrong

with our hands and feet and voices

to be that change.
