Our nation has just celebrated (or not depending on where you live) its 49th Anniversary of Independence.

In this time when we should most put aside our differences, we have spent it in dissent, bickering amongst ourselves. We have lost something of who we are as a people and in searching for that thing, I look upon our National Anthem (the greatest anthem ever created) back to where it all began, and wonder at the emotions that must have run through Mr Patrick Castagne (1916-2000) as he composed them.

Forged from the love of liberty

In the fires of hope and prayer

With boundless faith in our destiny

We solemnly declare

Side by side we stand

Islands of the blue Caribbean Sea

This our native land

We pledge our lives to thee

Here every creed and race find an equal place

And may God bless our nation

Here every creed and race find an equal place

And may God bless our nation.

Our independence did not come easy. It was hard-won. Our unity of goal, and of belief in spite of our diversity kept us going and won us the ability to govern ourselves. Let us put aside our differences and varied allegiances, let us come together to celebrate this accomplishment, celebrate ourselves and stand proud!

10 Things I Hate About You!

So I have loved this poem since the very first time I saw 10 things I hate about you! I have never before found the words online though I did search from time to time...


I sat and read the words tonight and I can actually picture Kat (Julia Stiles) standing in ront of the classroom reading it. I can hear her voice crack as she begins to cry! And I am taken there and think to myself life is so not like the movies. How come movies throw rose tinted glasses and the good guys win, the boy gets the girl at the end and everyone has this happily ever after?


Possibly just cuz we all know what real life is like and are willing to suspend disbelief and for that one hour just be Kat!


For what its worth though...Enjoy the poem!



I hate the way you talk to me,

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car,

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots

and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick,

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right,

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around,

and the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,

not even close,

not even a little bit,

not even at all.

More Old Poetry....new stuff kinda raw

She Plays at life

Sampling its delights…just barely

Pushing to the limits

Testing the borders

Do they hold?

What do they hold?

Entranced

Enticed

By the fluff, the dream, the fairy tale

That doesn’t exist

Discovery!

Of herself? Or of the lines?

Borderlines…Red lines…flatlined.

The path leads to destruction

Her ways lead down…to death.

Telegraph to hypa hoppa...[STOP]

Poo poo tiiiiiiime!!! [STOP]

Yeah Hoppy diz Jus Vee from.... Ah want to flush ah man dred...matter of fact ah wah flush bout 3! [STOP]

Some people come into our livesand leave footprints on our heartsand we are never ever the same.


Some people come into our lives and quickly go... Some stay for a while and embrace our silent dreams.

Eva did not leave quickly... although being cheif cook and bottle washer for a family of never less than 12 at least 9 of whom were male would be enough to put many a strong woman to flight!

Tanty did not run away, she was stable.... steadfast...permanent...enduring! Through difficulty, trials, pains, stresses...she remained...unchanging...loving us all, protecting us all...

When she was left at 80 to mother 4 teenagers each desperate to make their own way in a crazy world at a crazy time, she was stable...rational...firm in resolution...steady in purpose...She decided we would want for nothing and did everything in her power to make it so...

She's aged now...90yrs, 1 week, 1 day...She didn't have a charmed life but she had a long one... and was beyond content!

Ailing now... (funny word ailing...its a proper word to describe a not very proper state)... And once again...She is stable... not changing! But somehow this time her stability brings no comfort!

Old Poetry....

There was a time I would pour my soul into words,

with each poem I wrote...

I expressed a piece of my heart...

I'd like to think that I'm not this woman anymore.... I'd really like to!

Metamorphic - Oct 11th 2005.

For so long you desired wings

Just a caterpillar

Many many legs

Life took you on walks

Far and wide

Finally you settle down

Cocoon yourself for several months

And you change

Your shape, your tastes, your nature, all different

You have wings… time for testing

You walk to the edge, and then shy away

No longer solid as you once were

The gentlest breeze seems to buffet you

Fazed by silent nothings

You can stare proudly at your wings

But lacking in confidence

You cannot use them

So you sit on a leaf

Pretty, capable,

But still afraid to fly!
