West Indian

As the waves roll in and lash upon the rocks

 

Is like in the slightest cool breeze I could hear

 

And with out fear , a distant voice saying to

 

to be hold something greater than me.

 

Yes in this place I will plant my seed because

 

This soil is blessed with three unseen spirits and will grow after toil of sweat, blood
and tears and my generations will come to know me.

 

A man of distinction, yes I am a West Indian !
