Poem: Majority Rule
...with the collective power to choose
It has been a long and hard-fought battle
...to where we are today
The struggle of our forebears
...against injustices and indifference
Produced a people of variety
...to rule our blessed land
We are free to determine our future destiny
...the roads of which we choose to travel
Love, peace and prosperity
...or hate, war, corruption and poverty?
The choice is in the hands of the Bahamian people
...for better or worse
The obstacles of oppression and inequality
...have been optimistically eliminated
Thanks to the unselfish freedom fighters
...our fate is now with us
Majority rule has succeeded
...where do we go from here?
The meaning of the victory in reflection
...something that we must all contemplate
Let's not waste the revolutionary opportunity
...to thrive in harmony
Bahamians together for a prosperous nation
...the unborn generations will celebrate our feat
The torch of freedom, justice and rewarding opportunities for all
...burns deep within our hearts
Every citizen deserves liberty
...we all have a duty to ensure the same
Let's rule with the vision
...and take care of each other
Let the majority remain the keepers of equity
...and the minority, civil and satisfied
God bless The Bahamas
...where majority rule reigns with love and compassion
