Lady Liberty

And the Lady cries:
"Bring me your lame, maime,
Your poor, your Refugees."

Came by the Mayflower
And others like her,
The first Settlers came
from near and far;
Men, women, children,
old and young.

Bellowing sails flapping 
in tempestuous winds,
People courageously sailed,
Getting wet by the rough rolling
waves,
Going to America ahoy!

From these ones a great nation
 arose
Hard work and toil, felling trees,
Planting crops, shearing sheep,
 raising cattle,
On large expanses of land.

Now descendants benefit,
Flying a Star-spangled Banner.
Crying out with the Lady,
"God Bless America."



(Ellis Island is where the Statue of Liberty is. I was the harborr where persons disembarked from ships to pass through Customs before entering America.)





        Land Of Six Peoples

"One People, one Nation with one Destiny";
The voices of six peoples ring out!
A heritage of great repute,
Customs, traditions and cultures so rich,
The Almighty allowed six peoples to evolve!

Six peoples evolved from a
Mixture of cultures enmeshing
The diverse traditions from the diaspora,
Across many seas.

Passed down from the hands of
The Spanish, French, Dutch and British,
The country's heritage is compacted
With lusty multi-ethnic views!

Put together over time, we get - 
Art, craft, dance, music sculpting, basket
-weaving and more.
When meshed, these are all showy displays 
Of inner passions, interwoven by an
 ancestral mix.

Food umbrellas the crave for eating -
Aloo, buns, cassava bread, curry, dahl, 
Dumplng, fishcake,  foo foo, greens
 (vegetables),
Garlic pork,homemade bread, kanki,
Methai, roti, sweetbread, souse,
Black and white pudding.

Music itself is a fanfare for creative artistry,
In dance, theatrical shows, lyrics
and composing songs.
These echo on mountains, bellow in valleys,
and cause feet to stamp
From the Pakarimas to the Rorrhimas.

(These are the mountain ranges of Guyana. The Palarimas is where the longest One Drop Falls the world can be found.)
