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

fifty balloons
is now not enough; colours
still in creating

three blind mice
a nursery rhyme ago sung -
pride of new chants

years of growing -
the strains of innocence in
Chaconia bracts

a red hibiscus
plucked from a wayside fence blooms...
thus just for a smile



those starched white shirts
once our grand mothers pressed...
flat irons relics



untimely black outs...
the whispered requests for
candles and matches

The Prince finds out that there is still one more girl in the house. Once Cinderella is freed from her cell, she tries on the slipper. It is a perfect fit. The Prince takes Cinderella with him to his castle. A royal wedding takes place at the palace and Cinderella and the Prince live happily ever. [Aaron Green;The Cinderella Ballet: A Synopsis of the Cinderella Ballet; From Riches to Rags to Riches Again]
