Bahama Nation Poem
By Quentin Sands
A nation of peace, a nation of pride
A nation that’s spread far and wide.
A nation of hope, a nation of joy,
Thats free for all, man, women, girl and boy.
A nation to give, a nation to take
A nation filled with reggae, socca, calypso and rake and scrape.
A nation of colors; black, gold, aqua….sometimes called blue
can be seen everywhere above land and under sea too.
A nation of democracy and old english style, but things sure have changed if you
look up our file.
From outside rock stoves, to TV, radio, computers and wi-fi connectivity………
I’d say that a long way from July 10 1973.
An nation filled with hospitality, love and history,
Arawaks, Caribs and American Indians are the basis of our nationality.
A nation where Tourism is number one, because of the Bounty of sand sea and sun.
Yes, a nation of Youth, sports, culture, uniqueness and island fashion trends,
Like native Androsia our own local blend……and straw work and junkanoo, the list has no end.
This nation of beauty, splendor and self defense; yes its celebarting its own INDEPENDENCE.
