They wandered through the streets of each community
Mesmerized by the warm feeling of our people
Our distinct togetherness- The unity
Deeply infatuated with the melanin we wear
The lustrous coils, the brilliant heterogeneity of our hair
Turned the infatuation to us, the looks in their eyes, 14K carrot gold trophies ahead- Their stare
Their stomachs begged for permanent residence
As their mouths ran to every house to explore the flavors associated with every scent
Oh, how they were satisfied with every breadfruit and jackfish, and boilene with yam that they tasted
Even the golden apple juice that satisfied the image that the aroma painted
Shocked by the diversity of our creole
For in Vincy it was different around every corner and in every hole
But the way we understood each other whispered to them unity and control
They danced around every corner
To sounds booming louder and louder
They couldn’t wine nor fete like- like we usually do together
But they loved the sound of our steel pan, calypso and soca
They recorded and took photos of their time in beautiful SVG
Every dish, every site, every aspect of our culture and each unique festivity
From the Christmas Nine mornings all over this country
To the Carnival celebrations from Chateau to Fancy
From the Kings Hill Forest to the Vermont Nature Trail
From our many mountains to Mistress Soufreire over the hills
They were surely ready for their next vacation in Vincy
Or better yet, permanent residency!
Because for them, living here was nothing but luxury
And there were many more things to do
And a lot more places to see
But for us Vincentians
I’m here to remind you
That we need to wake up and appreciate the culture of arwe Vincy, sweet sweet SVG~
