BV-Islanders are not refugees- simply great survivors

We are a proud, capable and resilient People but even before we could rebound from August Monday Flood we were slammed by the record breaking winds of Hurricane Irma – Without friend or favour she separated Homes and Businesses from their Roofs, Doors and Windows, disconnected Utilities, uprooted and decapitated Plant life, destroyed our Food Supplies, turned our Harbours into boat Graveyards.

Mommy is the World really coming to an End?
As the World turns we continue to be burdened globally by Social and Climatic Changes - Typhoon in China, Hurricane in Texas, Floods in the West Indies, Wars in the Middle East, Lies and Deceit in Politics and a Total Eclipse of the Sun – None of these individually guarantee the end of the World but rather than work to make it better too many are giving up in despair and are preparing for Imaginary Heaven.

Replacing Reality with Fantasy and Democracy with Dictatorship: We are all different and yet we are all the same because as the pinnacle of Homo sapiens we share more in common than we differ...

If not for Bad Luck the Oppressed would have no Luck:
With all the Madness, Badness and Sadness going on throughout the World one can start from any point and still not know just where to begin… Fabrications and Denials have become a daily way of life and Brand-new Societies are based on Old Racism, Segregation, Class Structure, Colonialism and the willingness of Slave Descendants to Ignore, Accept and Excuse themselves back into Slavery.
Always so sorry for everyone but who is sorry for us?

The Innocent should not suffer for the Guilty:
No one seems to care that our World is in turmoil, our Systems corrupted, our Leaders insensitive, our Children are less Progressive than their Parents, our Ambition fading and Hopes dying - We have become more isolated in a crowded World where Everyone asks How and Why even though the Answers are written on the Wall – Sometimes it feels impossible to decipher Right from Wrong.
Being held to ransom digitally, financially & politically

Welcome to the Twilight Zone where Wrong means Right:
Just when we thought things couldn’t get worse, Leaders across the World show us they can – International Trade Agreements are scrapped, Crucial Health Care for the Needy is withdrawn, Basic Education is rolled back, Religious Leaders dabble in Child Molestation and those in seats of Power corrupt the delivery of Justice – Sadly, these traits are not new but simply getting worse.
Thanks to Trumpism our people may finally see the light

The rapid Transition from Bad to Worse:
As we leave one month and enter the next there is so much happening that it’s difficult to keep up… Nonetheless, we must choose whether to reside under the Bubble of Ignorance or real Life which shows all happenings are interconnected… Subsequently, we passed the 100-Day mark since Obama relinquished the Presidency to Trump and I will later explain why I thank The Donald.
The arrogance, hypocrisy & stupidity of power

Moving in Circles always takes us backward:
This Article will be short for no sooner we left March Madness than we landed into All Fools Month where Fools feel at home with Madness… We now find a World prepared to accept the Treason of Trump and BREXIT of Britain as Leadership Values that fuel Misconceptions of Politicians at home and abroad… Instead of being Progressive they claim to yearn for what they call the ‘Good Ole Days’
Rescuing ourselves from political treason

When Their Good ‘Ol Days become Our Bad 'Ol Days:
With so many local issues begging to be addressed it becomes frustrating when international matters far beyond our control suck all the Oxygen out of the room… Nonetheless we can no longer block out the World by sticking our Heads in the sand... Whether Friend or Foe, Child or Adult, Local or International; we are not alone - The Shenanigans of Mr Trump will affect us all.
Will Blacks over-come before Christ returns?

Prison should never be the Mantra of our History:
For Centuries Christians have been saying ‘Christ soon come’ and Descendants of Slaves have been saying ‘We shall overcome’… However, we are now in the last days of Black History Month 2017 and in desperation Persons are crying out for these fulfillments more and more only to find them less likely as reality dawns and Leaders still glorify Slavery in Dress, Songs and Customs.
