Father of Independence

By Edgan Lewis Quammie

That Fabian socialist,
Was a true nationalist.
Constrained by size and resource;
Yet, he did take the right course.
To sail the ship of this little state,
Through the independence gate.
That Fabian socialist,
Know action speak for the words,
Make real dreams for idealist a
reality.
See progress fly past like birds.
Campden Park industrial site,
Say independence was right.
That Fabian socialist,
Had no fear to innovate.
Want to see more specialist,
Work to make we country great.
Leaders of men fallible;
Yet, independence were able.
That Fabian socialist,
He was a symbol of vision;
Conscious generations,
That has begun to appear.
Say honour him with care;
Father of independence!
Robert Milton Cato.
