Carnival And Cane Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Where the ganges meet the nile it creates a rainbow of cultures under the sky
like the twin island of trinbago the mirror contains the same copy and dye
from the carnival unto the street to the parade of powder behind the square
what deep togetherness exist in the schools where the same knowledge they share

like a great storm of bees they came forced to reach the west
only to be treated like worms to plough the earth with little or no time to rest
for too long they creied the same pain that one day the moon shall whisper a silent voice
that freedom they will attain and with faith they shall rejoice

the ashes from the arrows of the estate will pave the pathway of a new dawn
that the future for many generations to come shall inherit the fruit like beautiful flowers in a lawn
from the inspired leaders who shall rule will they build many towers upon the earth
in remembrance of the bitter memories for those wh0o innocently lost their lives unable to complete their purpose of birth

out of the riches from the soil the message of peace will spread far and wide
for a new nation will rise to keep- the bond of love and not divide
let this unity be an example to humanity that there exist no reason to fight
the secret of wisdom be govern under one great light.
