1949


fifty four years -
words of our anthem
echo sweeter

rhythms of steel pan
colours of the masquerade -
we conquer ourselves

nation building
the songs of birds and flowers -
voices of children

    Nothing is quite like national pride in one's country especially when it has been good for you.
