Most heartfelt commemorations!
Effervescent celebrations; and,
as well, an everlasting and a
deeply ingrained gratitude to all of
our unquestionably very honestly
blessed Black foremothers dearly
also forefathers; for all that they
earnestly and very altruistically
did; notably, and commendably
endured, to effectively actually
ensure, that we who'd fittingly
and literally, crucially become
the essentially, precious fruits
of their loins, and impeccably
as was willingly instigated on
as a courageous act of ethical
defiance plus the continuous
procreation most irrefutably
in the rather intractable face
of the quite barbaric odds of
slavery to clearly guarantee:
their genes, would distinctly
be passed on, for the crucial
security of Afro-Caribbeans.

Author's Remarks:
As we commendably remember and dutifully also pay our respects to all of our enforcedly enslaved and most barbarically treated Black ancestors, I wish, most humbly but equally also rather proudly, to pay my unstinting respects to all of our forebears who underwent such savagery at the evil and vile hands of their exploiters but undeterred nevertheless, unselfishly, altruistically and heroically so, bravely weathered the tempestuous storms of their distinctly enforcedly made miserable lives to ensure that we, their undeniably hugely indebted to them descendants could be here. To which on my own personal behalf I fittingly and quite proudly say: "Thank You enormously!"
And as our nation Barbados led most admirably by our phenomenal Prime Minister Mia Mottley and our President Sandra Mason dedicatedly commemorate Emancipation Day, and the significant events that will follow during the incoming week starting today Thursday 14 April 2022, we Bajans avidly hail our past revolutionaries like our National Hero, Bussa and all the others who made our liberation possible.
So thank you all my fellow Bajans at home and abroad, and God forever Bless you and our Republic Barbados!
