Towards Independence

As Trinidad & Tobago approaches the 50th anniversary of her independence, it's a time when senses revocate &/or reunite.
This nation's independence was seen through the kaleidoscope of Dr Eric Eustace Williams whose colorful light rays diffused and refracted amongst a mixed population of young and old.
Our Independence dared the sense of hearing and seeing on 31st August 1962 with a ceremony that marked the lowering of the Union Jack and the hoisting up of a national flag, red white and black. Red represents the vitality of the land and it's people. White symbolizes water and the purity of our aspirations. Black is the earth surrounded by water. 
History had begun the right to write through colours of every creed and race with a newly idolized sense of feel when a new preacher roared to the delight of its mass populis, 'massa day done'
Yet from Grande Anse Declaration, the Treaty Of  Chaguaramas was born in 1973. Years later in 2010, came the Maritime Treaty with Grenada! 
Today, the audacity of hope still resides in me as I rejuvenate those moments 'the significant meaning of my country's flag'.
What did it mean then for those who were there? What does it mean now for the youth in the land of my birth? What will it mean for the significant others, the unborn, the future generations?

I cannot speak for those without a voice. I speak that you may heed the voice of the one greater than you, the one who sent you, the one that guides your thoughts so that you will be remembered now, forever and always. 
With boundless faith in our destiny, the future rests upon our common understanding for greater tolerance. We do not stand in isolation, as a nation that is truly independent in thought and deed. We have one aspiration which is equality and fairplay for every creed and race. Our voices blend in a unique chorus with our Caribbean counterparts as we stand side by side our islands in times of perseverance or persecution. We remain true to the ideals of Caribbean unity blessed by the Caribbean spirit of collaboration, to beckon a regional force in a global village where solid barriers to protection of Caribbean beliefs will form the nurturing grounds for the unborn.
It is with hope that the legacy of Independence will taste sweeter tomorrow than yesterday or today for the unborn.
