TRINIDAD

TRINIDAD

Nice to be in a place where roses have scent

Food is fresh and with hummingbirds present

The accent of the Trinis becomes a treat

A Creole mix, different, awesomely shweet

The steel band music encourages movement

Its genre is the standard level of amusement

Lest we forget, it is the birthplace of limbo

Where you shimmy under a bar that lies low

The terrain is flat with added mountain beauty

People are nice whether on-or-off duty

You have cricket madness, parties, rum to drink

High number of cars – too much – I’m inclined to think

Potholes are everywhere, literally the pits

Whether a driver or passenger, you are a misfit

A place I go with devotees is Las Cuevas Bay

Take to the beach with food, mantra, in water we play

The popular doubles is the street food delight

A quick tasty chickpea spread on a bun to bite

Recently, non-veg ingredients have made it there

There are optional choices, I make you aware

When is a notion a nation? When oil is struck?

Do we ride only on terms we call buck?

Trini or not, let’s play down on ego pursuits

Be adventurous, get down to alife’sctual roots

–By Bhaktimarga Swami
