Our Beautiful Barbados

One walk from the Bus Stand can make known

Unsightly images created by things we had thrown

Refuge discarded indiscriminately

Bridge covered in nut shells tossed deliberately

Early on mornings the streets can reek

A walk through the city no longer bears the beauty we seek

Ugly sights of the once beautiful bougainvillea tree

Trashed with disposable cups and other debris

It was a so disgusting to see one day

From a Range Rover window along his way

Used diaper thrown into the street where it dropped

Landed very visibly so the caring driver stopped

Bajans he thought can’t create such eye soars

And he drove to their destination and said “this is yours!”

Recalled later too the missing Stop Signs

Barely noticeable on the walls of a home beyond opened blinds

And a further insult to injury, people in dey wuk!

Dumping through the window of their Sanitation truck

O “Beautiful, beautiful Barbados, gem of the Caribbean sea”

Stop all this defacing and dumping indiscriminately!.
