The Little Good Harbour Pt.2

This is the second part to Little Good Harbours because it is the follow on state of mind that the other poem left me in and my immediate inspiration. This happens often, as soon as you finish writing, a new idea is created, if only by the very last line of the first poem.

 

The Little Good Harbour Pt.2

 

There is one thing apparent to me

Here in Barbados we’ve got a luxury

Euphoric pleasures around the land

Luscious crystal blue sea water and golden beach sand

It’s a pleasure to stay here for vacation

Take the opportunity to enjoy this great nation

Too many of us rush every day

Lives are so complex we never stay

Enjoy the things others pay for so dearly

Going instead to foreign soil and only to see

Other people’s homelands that they probably value

Overseas trips to Europe, America, now Africa too

Don’t we realize how many of our own spots

Have great luxury if we would just join the dots

All of the things we share with the tourists each year

Represent a luxury for us too, out of season, if we care

But instead like lemmings we are led far away

Overseas by some travel agent for an extravagant stay

Under terrible conditions where we seldom protest

Right here we have Little Good Harbours better than their best
