Patriotism rides high on its own chariot
Proud and mighty
Knowing that after fifty years
It has been able to impose its rule!
Why, just take the time to look around you
See how freedom expresses itself
Confident and loud
Knowing that accompanying it
Are human and moral rights
As well as aspects of tolerance and acceptance!
See how economy thrives
As if it were an undiscovered lake
One in which fish abound
Fearless and carefree
Knowing that their existence
Is laden with joy!
See how progress races against itself
Aiming to reach its own apex,
Found on cliffs bursting with venom at all
points
But which, once conquered,
Can do nothing other than divulge the makings
of tomorrow!
See how sustainable battles are initiated
For the cause of that which cradle hearts,
Beliefs, inspirations, breaths and jolts!
Why, patriotism, smug, feels like painting
itself
And its fifty years
On a mural, in the soul of the island
Where the whole world will see
How peaceful it feels
On this day
As it rides its chariot proudly
While celebrating its glory!
