Nevis Speak

Do you hear it?

The faint whisper;

The silent cry of potential begging for the opportunity to blossom.

My people speak up!

It is only then that our words are allowed to fly.

The room goes silent as minds connect, opening the doorway to a land where talent is encouraged and celebrated.

For far too long have they referred to us as 'Little Nevis'.

Parading around with their filthy assumptions that nothing amazing was ever born on our soils.

But I tell you now, that this is nothing but a pretty lie.

Engineered to imprison us in the shackles of our own mind,

Fearful to step on to the World Stage.

It is with this in mind that I openly challenge that fear.

I dare you to grab a pen and fight back with pride.

You see,

I know.

I know how great the people of this land really are.

How our words come alive as they dance merrily on the paper.

For when Nevis speaks, the whole world shivers.
