Ode to the Warriors
THE EDITOR: My sincerest congratulations go out to the Soca Warriors on their just concluded World Cup qualifier against Bahrain. The victory was well received by all, and definitely no surprise to many. Please publish the following poem (written on the day) to demonstrate my appreciation for what they have done for Trinidad and Tobago. November 16 two thousand and five If you see Trinbagonians come alive From 12 midday, in front we TV To see Bahrain play sweet T&T The whole country stop work on this special day To see the Soca Warriors come out and play. And play they did, they caused we no pain Because the Soca Warriors end up beating Bahrain When Dennis Lawrence scored the goal, if you hear the shout. Was only squeals and screams from Trinbago mouth; Everybody was true, true Trini for sure, Some even shouting, ‘we want one more’. They say the Warriors have to sink it in good Otherwise, Bahrain could turn ‘round But this wasn’t November 19 again Because the Soca Warriors end up beating Bahrain. This was a game well over due But old people say what is for you is for you; Bahrain tried all kind of strategy To cripple, Dwight, Stern and Latapy. But then they got a surprise from the Morvant man Who destroyed all their well-made anti warriors plans With just one goal he stamped the Warriors’ name, And made Bahrain lose all their fortune and fame.
