Will we rise again?

Rising from enslaved graves.
Rising from Indentured graves.
Rising from graves of plantation injustice.
Rising from graves of indentured servitude.

Rising to Emancipation.
Rising to political Independence.
Rising to Nationhood.
Rising to a new destiny.

Buried again in the hulls of regional air travel.
Buried again on the plantations of regional airports.
Buried again in mistreatment by regional air carriers.
Buried again in abandonment at regional airports.

Buried again in failed policies of regional air travel.
Buried again in the grave of the high price of regional air travel. 
Buried again by disrespectful Immigration officers
Buried again in cattle-like treatment of regional travellers.

Will we rise again?

Rise to a new political order.
Rise to fresh political leaders.
Rise to the spirit of former resilient, resistant and revolutionary leaders.
Rise to the spirit of regionalization. 
Rise to affordable regional travel.
Rise to a preferred option for regional travel rather than northward-bound travel.
Rise to respecting and valuing poor regional travel with few options.

Will we rise to a new treatment of Caribbean travellers?
