Who’s Liberty? How dear you tell me I’m a despot And tell me fi flee Because I don’t stand to-“Oh! Land of the Free?” I am a patriot you see It was the land of the Gods and stolen from Sami So when I don’t stand I’m saying I disagree With George Price’s treachery That’s why we lost UWI This wasn’t an anthem But a tribute to great men Like Black Moses and Pan Hen legend warriors from way back when They protected British Honduras and made it a heaven Like the Flowers Bank Eleven You must know they’re in heaven Which manhood did we pledge and who’s Liberty? We have to thank God fi hurricane Hattie Or else they would not have expanded Belize City Because Georgi porgy was not a visionary Who is really free in this country? When we still have Elizabeth head pan wi money? Oh land of the free by the Caribe Sea Royal Belizeans di call Garifuna Kerobe When dah my forefathers settled Molin’s River, Sittee, and Malantee We came here and we were free Yet unu mek di Whiteman tell you we eat pickney And we had to get a permit fi enter the City That’s the reason the Jesuits chose we Fi educate this entire country Taking our men away from their families, stunting the growth of our communities. Not even education is free in this so called democracy! By: Abdulmajeed K. Nunez
