Barbados I dream of you

There are times when you visit such a place or meet such a people that it's overwhelming leaving you speechless...in a good way I will add!! Barbados is such that place. It's a place that you must visit for yourself. You must take in this energy of freeness that this land brings. I've met some beautiful people while there and I'd like to dedicate this poem to those people.

Barbados I've dreamt of you
Golden people, sun kissed skin
Descendants of slaves, an African people

though not beaten down- resilient...sovereignty
Each woman elder my grandmother reincarnate- ancestor
The spirit of Bussa, with the heart of Garvey runs through the veins
Jah, Rasta-far-I heritage merge- pan-Africans
Reparations are due.....it's true
Barbados I dream for you
 
A land of turquoise aqua
Brotherly and sisterly encompassed utopia
For this is your glory!
Surpass my expectations, this beautiful island nation
Barbados I dream of you
 
You have lift my spirits high
I beg to question why....

Can't back home share your vision?
Where racism is non- existent
Here I am sister that has returned to one of my many homes - Diaspora
Be united...stand oh Barbados
Be a beacon of light
Home of the brave and land of the free
Barbados until again..
I dream of you
