The Lost generation
by sookdeo manansingh
When does the nation fall? Who is to blame?
the world is always changing and cannot be the same
the memories of old school days will never return
when the lesson placed on the chalkboard we had to learn
when children were punished with the fear of the whip
for no one, dare would even allow their tongue to slip
the stable has been broken like a horse gone astray
......
Ballad of Basdeo Panday
by sookdeo manansingh
I have struggled my entire life
to bring unity to our twin islands
nation and is known for my
bravery to fight the lion alone
and not feel sorry for myself
with humility, I have walked
the talked by listening to
the working -class people
to fight for their rights
in the sugar estates so

The Poetry Crown
by sookdeo manansingh
The Poetry crown I'll take to the grave
for which I fought a lifetime brave
when the whisper of silence be no more
my ashes will be scattered on the shore
the ocean of my mind will leave
behind the emptiness for no one to grieve
my soul will be escorted on the aisle of the sea
......
Father to son (Sestina)
by sookdeo manansingh
I want you to become a sage
to spread the message of light
this is what I dream
to reach the stars in the sky
to keep your mind free
that wisdom humanity will know
To share what you know
and inspire others as a sage
to show others how to be free
