TO AEGEAN SEAS

As old as the ancient myths
As young as their new oil pits

Once world conquerors now befit
Vast reserves, on which Greek heroes sit

With nursing babes on Aegean Seas
Can Trinis help to foster these?

To nourish,to train and to explore
These oiled babes of Aegean reservoirs

So young,so porous,so unaware
Have we not a century of tips to share?

Or dreams of being billionaires
With those naive in this oil sphere?

Debt coverage of the Road and Belt
For Trinis, from Aegean Seas' wealth

Can Greek Empire once again flourish
Can these wise Trinis adopt and nourish?

IGNITIONS

To the whims of dragons

We build pipelines

Across oceans

in these hard times

Chancing ignitions

Of trade contraction

Market remissions

And much oppositions

We trade with everyone

But will everyone trade

With those

Who pet fiery creatures

With gases

And shells?

GRAVITY ANOMALY

There is a gravity anomaly

On our map

Which impedes

our very ascent

Our higher destiny

No longer

refracts

From our identity

Nor our vision

To fly our flag

And ride the breeze

As a symbol of elevation

That once made us bow

our head in Peace

And resound

God Bless Our Nation

There is a gravity anomaly

On our map

With images of

quick descent and ease

Our energy waves

Echo sounds, as if

to say

That Dr. Williams

is not pleased

As he was in 1974

When with TRINTOC

Our flag did hoist

Our potential,our location

And model of

subsurface hope
and poise

In the ascent of our nation
