Jamaica Arise ( The Trumpet)

Posted by: Beekeeper

Beekeeper

The trumpet has sounded my country men all
So awake from your slumber and answer the call
The torch has been lighted, the dawn is at hand
Who joins in the fight for his own native land


Chorus...

Land of my birth I pledge to be
Loyal and faithful, true to thee
 
On the toll may be heavy and the campaign long
The road may be dreary, the barriers strong
Out progress may falter and our energies wane
But steadfast in spirit our goal we will gain

In steadfast assurance that God will look down
And give us his blessings our efforts to crown
Let us all be united to build by His grace
A nobler Jamaica, a loftier race.

 

-- People's National Party Theme Song

What a beautiful poem. The only problem the PNP should have woke and answer the call.
For eighteen years they slept, while their countrymen bawl
Their torches blew out by the wind of despair
And Labourite no better, cho get outa here
The new contender, lets try Ms. Blaine
If not her then who, Lawd we soak in the rain


PS:
Great Talking to last evening Mr. Hansen. Your vision is to be admired.
