When come to the heroes, we got to think twice
We've got to learn, how to bridge the gap
Because there are people, make us powerful on the map
The way we treat we heroes with scorn
And also wish, they were never born
In other countries I realize, their heroes are the ones who they idolize ah ha"
- Heroes, by Winston "Explainer" Henry
This chune is embedded to memory because Explainer is my Godfather so his music was consistently played in our home. It was released in Trinidad and Tobago in 1982 and sadly, still applies. Every verse, hook and chorus Google or YouTube it. Today marks 53 years of independence for the twin island and it's time that the country clean up. Don't get me wrong, at this stage in my life I would happily pack up, sell my home and move to Trinidad and I'd do it in a heartbeat but as a nation it's time to do better.
Happy Independence Day
Trinidad and Tobago
