It’s Beautiful Barbados! And in a sentence, we’re Bajans!
By Stanley Collymore
Words do truly become absolutely
redundant when you instinctively
and genuinely feel exceptionally
passionate thoroughly constructively
empathetic and unquestionably also
emotionally, about something that’s
been highly constructive, as well as
effectively evolutionary throughout
one’s entire life span; and basically
that’s quite undeniably the state of
affairs situation quite undoubtedly
when it significantly, and distinctly
unquestionably essentially comes
to my discernibly, simply precious,
ancestral homeland, of Barbados!
A country where inspirationally
the finest things in my life,
and from the onset of
my infancy, were themselves crucially
and plainly instinctively born, lovingly
nurtured and evidently, progressively
transformed rather effectively into a
very viably rich, discernibly cultured;
a delightfully enduring, and likewise
a simply, rather unquestionably and
distinctively essentially pleasurable
constructive maturity. So obviously,
for which I’m everlastingly grateful!
So as God Almighty in his infinite
wisdom continues to fulsomely
bless you, my simply beloved
Barbados; similarly my fellow Bajans at
home on our truly tropical, paradisiacal
island and within their global Diaspora;
you Barbados for effectively having the
outstanding perspicacity and similarly
also the perpetual tenacity to not only
weather but basically put to good use
the numerous tribulations, discernibly
and iniquitously latched on, obviously
to the several other adversities which
we Bajans, distinctively over the past
centuries, have obviously and simply
clearly been onerously, subjected to;
but have nevertheless subsequently,
obviously courageously, indomitably
and very proudly, evidently emerged
as the constructively, quite mentally
liberated nation we now fittingly are.
Thoroughly believing in our own
capabilities, our progressively
minded country that’s aptly
enduringly committed to the precepts
of genuine democracy, undoubtedly
equality of opportunity, and equally
its attendant fundamental tenet of
indisputably full, obviously equally
legally legislated human rights, to
naturally everybody regardless of
their nationality who distinctively
and unquestionably, literally falls
within the full, lawful scope aptly
of Barbados’ obviously territorial
borders and its legal jurisdiction.
This compellingly so, regardless
of the distinctive circumstances
undoubtedly pertaining to these
people’s individual and naturally
authentically lawfully confirmed
place of birth; simply the gender
that Nature essentially ascribed
to them prior and confirmatorily
subsequent to their actual birth,
and any other naturally relevant
factors that undeniably, fittingly
identified who they distinctively
were; and understandably done
to crucially ensure that actually
there’s evidently full equality of
opportunity for everyone within
Barbados’s praiseworthily, very
transparent, and also impartial
commendable, judicial system.

Author's Remarks:
Pride and Industry is our national motto and the commendable qualities that we Bajans earnestly and industriously strive for and instinctively endeavour to implement in our respective lives.
And on the upcoming 57th anniversary of our national independence and likewise the second one of our beloved Barbados voluntarily ceasing to be a realm aligned to the British monarchy for 398 years and becoming a Republic, I join wholeheartedly in our many achievements and the quite worthy celebration of these, as I also echo the sentiments of all Bajans in praise worthily saying: "God forever Bless our Barbados, its current and future citizens, and similarly the souls of our departed ones, who constructively made our country what it is today!"
