Independence Day
The whole year crescendoes to
Independence Day, a holiday where Jamaicans
can dance, laugh, enjoy merriment,
having fun their way,
The outfits and materials that commemorate
Jamaica’s legacy, speaks volumes of Jamaicans’
“brought-upsy”,
The warmth, and inviting spirit that looms,
makes even the most skeptical visitor feel as if
they belong, causing them to bloom, as citizens parade
paying tributes and singing their folklore songs,
When a country has spirit, heart and patriotism,
They can conquer anything that goes wrong!
Black, Green and Gold
We come from the land of Black, Green and Gold,
Some say we are strong, innovative and bold,
Yet, our talents as a people are beginning to unfold,
We are scholars, lawyers, doctors, business people, and ordinary folks,
harboring dreams, but most of all, we strive to be the best,
It doesn’t matter if the rest of the world think we are THIRD,
In our minds, time has proven, that we have surpassed all of
life’s tests, our vocabularies and imaginative thoughts prove that
ONE is the only word we think of associating with the Black, Green and Gold,
ONE country under God striving to be made prosperous and whole.

Good morning Met and metters
Kingston, Jamaica —– the place of my birth. I just love the food, language, music, weather, culture, and my childhood memories. Despite living in foreign “from mi eye dey a mi knee” I always saw the need to keep up with everything that’s going on in Jamaica over the years, and to visit there regularly. So, to all Yawdies I say, Happy Independence Day Everyone!!!!
Jamaica will gain her actual independence one day–hopefully!
Did u noticed the people back then how they are dressed nicely and look good, even though it was black and white. You can see no bleaching and a bag of tattoos.
Happy Independence Day Jamaica!
My prayer is that ALL black people from around the world will embrace and respect each other.
One love…
