An Old New Word Republicanism
Republic
Is the new old word
Which is on everyone's lips
Republics we all want to be !
In the Caribbean it is to be free of the Queen as the head of state
And finally being able to carve their own path
For the USA it is for trump to finally hush his arse
As they cannot stomach any more of his negative remarks
Republic
Republicanism
Who would have thought in 2015
We are still discussing the word republic and all of its off spring which are fuelled with aristrocrats
These aristocrats pretend to care about social issues
But really they don't care
They just want to generate wealth
And be heard
Aristocrats care very little about man kind
That is my opinion
May not mean much to you
But after all I am the person weilding the pen to write this poem
Anyways.....
Republic in Barbados represents Trinidad
As our local bank has been renamed the Republic Bank
And republic also is Massy waving the Trinidadian flag in our face
Saying let's capitalize on this market while it is hot
Republic
Republicanism
Republicans
I hate cliches but this one is fitting
To be or not to be ...
A republic
Republican
Or to embrace republicanism
Or to be free of the Queen
What shall be is ought to be
As this new old word shall pick up the pace
And we all shall look at the word in awe
As we are all the new
Republics
Republicans
