Serious Choice Poem by Claude Simpson

As we work and settle
in the land we love,
Brotherhood and peace we cherish
like a special gift from above.

From generation to generation
we protect the legacy of our homeland;
Through crisis, in peace
and unity we stand.

Our society is now in shambles
while hardship is at the peak;
With change of policies that are
getting us further and further in the deep.

It's a crisis, yes we know
and do understand
Because the economy declines
as a result of the devastating inflation.

The economy makes
a downward turn
But this is life and from our mistakes
we will learn.

Striving for a better
way of life we seek
And by hardwork, reward and success
we may reap.

We stand in unity with the affirmation
of the good we sow;
To hold and cherish the legacy
of our history so the world will know.
