You see my country Trinidad and Tobago ? It's Truly a place of paradise most people don't
know. The many races tells you about the many places we came from our ancestor. They to
came here. Some from India, Spain, France and Africa just to name a few.But I born here so
I am a Trini which I guess you knew.Smiling and laughing is not a habit, it's a way of
life in my country. As clear as the open sand and sea.The food touches every senses of
your being just as the music speaks to your soul. In a place with your inner self you can
never grow old.The legends and the stories from my country is true. About how Carnival was
born or music coming out of an oil drum too! But let me not say too much. As Trinidad and
Tobago should not be something you hear once but must be an experience!
Once I knew a man
Said that he should lead the band
I thought that it was grand
He was willing to take a stand
He conducted the high notes well
Really made them swell
However the music …it was dissonant
As the bass was so un-content
It seems to reach the heights
That man had lost his sight
All notes must play a role
For the music to have a soul
