Each one different, none the same
From Africa, India, Syria
Look they sailed the rough rough seas
Some crouch up on their knees
In the ship, on the trip, to the West Indies
But though cut of from their roots
Look new sprouts start to shoot
And like fire that was fed
This thing start to spread and spread and spread and spread

Many races different face, in this land
How we live so the embraces i can't understand
Many people but one nation. hand in hand
It was destined from creation the creator's plan
 Look it's he and she and me and you one callaloo, 
One mix up stew
One pot of brew
Look it's we and them and them and we look carefully,
What do you see?
A unity
All ah we together, in La Trinity
One happy family ]]> 2016-11-27 16:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140030369 gabrielacsingh https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140036059 On thinking about this topic of Caribbean identity and diversity, a song written by Stephen Kelawan, came to mind. He was a guard for my primary school but he also led the school's Folk Choir along with Ms. Bernadette Sorzano. 
The name of the song is "Cosmopolitan Society" and the lyrics talk about the diversity of Trinidad and the people who came. It also speaks of how all these cultures and races were mixed to form our society. This is what I believe the Caribbean is all about hence the reason I am including it in this portfolio. ]]> 2016-11-27 17:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140036059 Concept of Caribbean Civ gabrielacsingh https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037543 2016-11-27 18:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037543 Who are we as the Caribbean gabrielacsingh https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037559 2016-11-27 18:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037559 What defines us? gabrielacsingh https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037569 2016-11-27 18:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037569 What brought people here gabrielacsingh https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037583 2016-11-27 18:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037583 what people brought gabrielacsingh https://padlet.com/gabrielacsingh/ejsr7991cj30/wish/140037598 culture
