Happy 41st Independence Barbados

Brass Tacks featured Craftsmen of our fate but neither Deputy Prime Minister Mia Mottley or Bradford Taitt addressed the importance of our personal roles to developed the nation into a more positive, moral community. It is not enough to merely touch on the issue of our fate as a nation, not when we are so swiftly heading into moral decay.

 

Happy 41st Independence Barbados

 

Forty one years and feeling grand

Independence in our beautiful Island

Ready to take on life’s new challenges

Making the best for all social classes

Communities developed from neighborhood beats

Roads transformed from gaps into streets

Assembled buildings taller than mile trees

Favorite businesses trading in securities

Technology integrated to the max

Surcharges replaced by Value Added Tax

Manufacturing is a booming industry

Education free for all, through to University

Now these changes are progress but what does it mean

Our society also grew in the immoral and obscene

Fate can be good and can also be bad

Our concentration must be on our positive to add

Use measures to encourage our people to be

Responsible citizens in morals, alcohol, drugs and promiscuity

Fix laws on integrity, violent crimes and abuse

Alleviate price gouging and professional misuse

The great forefathers sowed pride we mustn’t desecrate

Essentially we are all craftsmen of our fate
