I was visiting Trinidad in 1997, and I witnessed this great Calypsonian perform this tune. It caused me to shed tears of sadness, hope and commitment to my won son who is now 26, and doing very well, thank GOD. We must begin to be responsible for our children, and this does not start when they are teenagers. Raising children starts when they are in the arms. Children are being neglected in the same way that our Earth has been neglected. We must learn to truly love our children again.....
