Back On Your Feet Appeal
A local Radio Station, my preferred one, has been trying to raise the spirits of our community from the onset of this tragedy. They have kept our ears close to ground zero, detailing the events as they unfolded. I am happy to learn that they now are holding a collection on the survivor’s behalf in a project they call “Brittons Hill back on their feet" appeal. I listened to their program and was moved to write the following. I hope they can used it in part of their efforts and that I may help in my way too. If you see and enjoy my poem and are able, please contribute to this project by contacting Starcom Network Inc as soon as you can.

Back on Your Feet Appeal A
cave-in occurred Sunday morning early Cries
pierced the neighborhood, all were sad Kids
were trapped with their mom and dad Our
efforts to rescue this family failed Nothing
could be done VOB news detailed Young
family lost and many people displaced Our
district experienced the worst they’d faced Urgently
our attention must be turned to those Removed
from homes with no food, valuables or clothes Forced
to accept the charity of others Extricated
from Brittons Hill to find new neighbors Everyone
can take part in our philanthropic appeal To
gather new necessities your generous hearts feel And
drop them off in the barrels conveniently
Placed
in the Pride
of Barbados shows its best “in times of need” Empathizing
with our brothers, being a friend indeed And
now when it matters our radio stations entreat Let
us get our neighbors at "Brittons Hill Back On Their Feet" |
