Neo-colonialism, Neoliberalism, and Post-Democracy: A Caribbean Perspective
The complex interplay of neo-colonialism, neoliberalism, and post-democracy has profoundly shaped the political, economic, and social landscapes of developing island nations, particularly within the Caribbean Commonwealth. While these concepts are distinct, they often function in a mutually reinforcing manner, perpetuating a cycle of dependency, inequality, and diminished sovereign power. This essay will provide a comprehensive and extensive analysis of these ideologies, focusing on their historical roots, key tenets, and specific manifestations within the context of the Caribbean Commonwealth, with an emphasis on the challenges they pose to genuine development and self-determination.

The Sea Princess
Deep in the heart of the Bahama Sea,
Where coral gardens bloom so free,
And sun-dappled waters gently gleam,
Lived Princess Delina, a mermaid's dream.
Her skin, the color of a moonless night,
A perfect canvas, a wondrous sight.
Her hair, a cascade of midnight curls,
Adorned with pearls and ocean swirls.
Her tail, a shimmering, opalescent hue,
A spectrum of blues, from cobalt to cerulean blue.
With every flick, a sparkling dance,
A flash of beauty, a captivating glance.

A Celebration of Freedom: The History and Tradition of Fox Hill Day
Fox Hill Day, an annual festival observed in the community of Fox Hill, Nassau, stands as a powerful and enduring testament to the legacy of emancipation in The Bahamas. While the nation as a whole celebrates Emancipation Day on the first Monday of August, the Fox Hill community dedicates a specific, separate day—the second Tuesday of August—to honor the freedom of their ancestors. This unique observance is not merely a celebration but a living historical ritual, rich with tradition, cultural expression, and deep spiritual significance. It serves as a vital connection to the past, reminding a new generation of the struggles, resilience, and ultimate triumph of those who came before them.

The glass ceiling on gender equality, especially in women's leadership within
Caribbean governments, was first broken in 1980 when Dame Mary Eugenia Charles
from Dominica made history as the region's first female prime minister. Her
term from 1980 to 1985 was a major milestone, not only as the first woman to
reach such a high political position in the Caribbean but also as the first
female lawyer in Dominica. This historic election marked a significant turning
point in Caribbean politics, symbolizing a major victory for women in the
region and opening the door for future female leaders to follow her example.
Throughout her distinguished political career, Dame Mary Charles advocated for a wide range of social and economic reforms, showing the transformative power of women's leadership in government. Her influential leadership style and steadfast dedication to public service inspired many people in Dominica and across the Caribbean, encouraging women to pursue roles in politics and public service that had previously been out of reach.

All Is Not Gold
"Fake Golden Egg" - Bahamas AI Art

All Is Not Gold
In halls of polished marble, bright and grand,
A golden promise gleams across the land.
The venture, fresh with hope and youthful fire,
Ignites a nation's soul, a shared desire.
The charts ascend, a steady, upward climb,
Forecasting fortunes, conquering all time.
The prospect smiles, its teeth of solid gold,
A story of prosperity, to be told.
But look beneath the shimmer, soft and low,
Where hidden currents of dissent may flow.
The soil is thin, the roots can find no hold,
The gilded surface hides a story old.
A market flooded, where the margins shrink,
A whispered rumor on the crumbling brink.
The hurried launch, the lack of studied grace,
A foundation built on time's relentless chase.
A country looks toward a future new,
An industry of silver, bright and true.
They pour the coin, they build the towering stacks,
Ignoring warnings, turning their straight backs.
The global currents shift, the tide recedes,
The vibrant market withers, choked with weeds.
The product, once desired, now sits in stone,
A monument to what they should have known.
The local lifeblood drains, the well runs dry,
A bitter silence answers every cry.

I Don't Like Rum - Update
I wrote this song 20 years ago. Then I created some music for it. It was originally a MIDI file but I finally got around to converting it to a WAV file which was needed for my video editor. It's done in the Rake 'n' Scrape style of The Bahamas. Enjoy.
I Don't Like Rum
Rake 'n' Scrape song(chorus)

Before I go to sleep, I take two shot or t’ree

Hustlin' rum money, for a drink real strong
When people look at me, dey don't like

Emancipation Day in The Bahamas: A Chronicle of Freedom and Celebration
Emancipation Day in The Bahamas is more than a mere public holiday; it is a profound annual commemoration of the end of chattel slavery and the birth of a free nation. Celebrated on the first Monday of August, the day is a cornerstone of Bahamian national identity, representing a pivotal moment when the chains of bondage were broken, and the path to self-determination began. The history of this day is deeply intertwined with the broader narrative of the British Empire, but its celebrations in The Bahamas possess a unique cultural vibrancy that honors the resilience, heritage, and enduring spirit of its people.

Keep Love Alive

Keep Love Alive
In gardens of the heart, where passions bloom,
Love's tender petals, chasing winter's gloom.
A sacred flame, once kindled, pure and bright,
Must be tended daily, bathed in golden light.
For time, like whispers, can erode the bond,
If care is absent, and affection's conned.
Remember whispered vows, the morning's kiss,
The shared adventures, moments steeped in bliss.
These are the roots, that anchor and sustain,
Through life's harsh tempests, joy and gentle rain.
But roots need water, sun, and fertile earth,
To bring forth blossoms of enduring worth.
Communication's a river, clear and deep,
Where thoughts and feelings, open secrets keep.
Speak from the soul, with honesty and grace,
No silent judgments, no hidden, lonely space.
Listen intently, with an open mind,
To worries whispered, treasures you will find.
For understanding bridges every void,
And strengthens bonds, once fearfully deployed.

Haunted Places and Structures in The Bahamas: An In-Depth Exploration
The Bahamas, a sun-soaked paradise with crystal-clear waters and an idyllic blend of island cultures, holds much more than its serene beauty and lively tourism. Beneath the tranquil surface lies a collection of mysterious, ghostly landmarks, steeped in centuries of history and legend. While many visitors come to the islands to bask in the tropical climate, few are aware of the darker side—haunted locations with stories of spectral encounters, eerie apparitions, and unsettling histories. From the pirate-infested waters to colonial fortresses, the Bahamas has long been a place where the past lingers in the present, haunting both locals and tourists alike.
This essay will explore several of the most haunted places and structures in the Bahamas. These sites, including the infamous Blackbeard’s Ghost, the eerie Eleuthera Point Lighthouse, the chilling Haunted House of Harbour Island, the desolate Great Isaac Lighthouse, the foreboding Fort Charlotte, the ghost-filled Graycliff Hotel, the mysterious Old Fort Nassau, and the ghostly Stirrup Cay Lighthouse, represent a fascinating blend of folklore, historical tragedy, and lingering spectral forces that continue to captivate the imagination of all who venture to these islands.

Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
"Contemplate" - Bahamas AI Art
©A. Derek Catalano
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
A hush descends, a sudden, somber sky,
The sun recedes, and shadows start to lie
Across the paths where once the light did gleam,
And life unfolds beyond a joyful dream.
For in this journey, grand and often sweet,
There come the moments, bitter and complete,
When storm clouds gather, heavy, dark, and low,
And into each life, some rain must surely flow.
We build our castles, brick by hopeful brick,
With aspirations, vibrant, strong, and quick,
We chase the sun, believing all is bright,
Unknowing of the coming, starless night.
Then cracks appear, where solid walls once stood,
A whispered rumor, misunderstood,
A sudden illness, or a love grown cold,
A story changing, bravely to be told.
The winds of sorrow, howling, fierce, and keen,
Can strip the branches, leaving stark the scene.
The drops of anguish, falling, slow, and deep,
Can fill the hollows where our memories sleep.
The weight of burdens, pressing on the soul,
Can test our spirit, taking its slow toll.
We stumble, falter, sometimes lose our way,
And long for comfort, through the darkest day.

Question!
As a citizen of any of the 15-member Nations that are part of the Caribbean Community CARICOM, have you EVER (seriously) reflected on the potential advantages and/or disadvantages of full membership of your Island Nation in this regional organization?
I believe this introspection is essential, though the wider public rarely discusses it. Full disclosure, however, is that (understandably) the decision for countries to join CARICOM mainly depends on government choices, influenced by a complex mix of legal systems, economic policies, and diplomatic strategies, rather than being decided by public votes or referendums.
I can recall, however, that when my country, The Bahamas, officially became a member of CARICOM on July 4, 1983, there was a conspicuous absence of any demands for a public referendum from either the ruling government or any of the opposition elements. Such a referendum, if it were held, could have facilitated direct citizen engagement in this significant decision-making process. Nevertheless, I firmly believe (and accept) that the government of that time conducted comprehensive due diligence, engaging in in-depth discussions and consultations, whether independently or in collaboration with opposition factions. This diligent process ultimately paved the way for The Bahamas' membership in CARICOM, underscoring the essential nature of regional cooperation and integration for our nation’s development and economic advancement.

Aisha Bowe Hack<IT> STEM Camp
“There is nothing like being able to give back to your own and this camp is my way of inspiring other Bahamian students to not just dream but to go after that goal in spite of where they start,” said Bowe, an aerospace engineer who started as a struggling student with a low GPA. “As a child, I never imagined that one day, I could go from looking at the sky and wondering what was out there, to making history as the first Bahamian to go into space. I want to be the person to inspire a student to go where they think they can’t like I did at NASA and in founding my own successful companies, and also as someone who looks back to give opportunities to those coming after me through Hack<IT> STEM.”

The Indispensable Role of Regular Maintenance
Maintenance, in its broadest sense, refers to the processes and procedures involved in keeping a product, asset, or system in a specified state of repair or efficiency. It encompasses a range of activities, from routine inspections and minor adjustments to significant repairs and replacements, all aimed at preserving functionality, extending lifespan, and ensuring safety. While often overlooked or postponed, regular and proper maintenance is not merely a reactive measure but a proactive strategy that underpins the longevity, efficiency, and safety of everything from our homes and vehicles to the critical infrastructure that supports entire nations.
When Death Comes Knocking

When Death Comes Knocking
When Death comes knocking, a whisper in the night,
No one knows the hour, nor the fading of the light.
No calendared appointment, no forecast in the air,
Just a sudden, silent presence, a chilling, cold despair.
It may be in the dawn, with the dew still on the rose,
Or in the fading twilight, as the tired day does close.
Perhaps a gentle stirring, a breath held for too long,
Or a thunderous crescendo, where everything goes wrong.
Will you be ready, for that inevitable call?
Have you lived with purpose, given your heart and all?
Did you speak the words unsaid, embrace the ones you knew?
Forgive the hurts inflicted, and see your journey through?
Will your spirit find its solace, your conscience be at peace?
Or will a lifetime's regrets, refuse their grim release?
For readiness isn't riches, nor power, nor grand fame,
But a soul aligned with truth, an unextinguished flame.
Will you be prepared, for the journey to the vast unknown?
Have you shed the earthly shackles, the seeds of greed have sown?
Are your affairs in order, your worldly tasks complete?
Or will a tangled legacy, leave bitter, tangled feet?
Preparedness is not panic, nor frantic, hurried plea,
But a calm acceptance of what is, and what will surely be.
It's untying every tether, that binds you to this sphere,
And facing the great silence, without a shadow of fear.

Seagull, Fly Free
Seagull, fly free, fly high in the sky, over the sea,
Where the ocean's vast canvas meets eternity.
With wings of pure white, against the aquamarine so deep,
A silent observer while the world is asleep.
From the cliffs, a grand launch, a leap into air,
No tether, no burden, no earthly despair.
You dance on the currents, a master of breeze,
Weaving through sunbeams, above the green trees.
Your keen eye surveys the tumultuous foam,
A glimmering fish, a true taste of home.
Then a swift, graceful dive, a splash and a dart,
Nature's own hunter, a work of fine art.
You soar past the yachts, with their sails crisp and white,
Past the fishing boats, bathed in morning's first light.
A sentinel present, on buoy and on mast,
Watching the tides, as they ebb and flow fast.
Your call, a wild echo, a cry sharp and clear,
Carried on whispers, for all souls to hear.
A voice of the wild, untamed and so grand,
A symbol of freedom, across sea and land.
Where the ocean's vast canvas meets eternity.
With wings of pure white, against the aquamarine so deep,
A silent observer while the world is asleep.

Science Is Everywhere
Science is not a distant concept locked away in laboratories or confined to textbooks. It’s not just what scientists do—it’s what the world runs on. Science is everywhere, in everything we touch, use, build, and depend on. From the cars we drive to the smartphones in our hands, from the clothes we wear to the appliances in our homes, science shapes the modern world. It powers innovation, solves problems, and pushes humanity forward. Ignoring science is like ignoring oxygen: you don’t have to see it to be completely dependent on it.

WhatsApp Breakup
A love once pure, a bond so deep,
Two hearts entwined, a promise to keep.
In marital bliss, our days we spent,
A tapestry woven, with sweet content.
Laughter echoed, soft whispers too,
Believing our future, forever true.
Hand in hand, we walked life's way,
Until a notification, stole peace away.
One quiet evening, as shadows grew long,
A gentle hum, a digital song.
My phone lay near, his just beside,
A WhatsApp flicker, I couldn't hide.
A message flashed, a name I knew,
His "long time sweetheart," bold and new.
My breath caught sharp, a sudden dread,
As words unspoken, filled my head.
"My dearest love," the preview read,
A knife of ice, through my heart it spread.
The world went dim, the colors faded,
A trust so fragile, instantly raided.
I turned to him, my voice a plea,
"Who is this, tell me, honestly?"
His eyes met mine, a flicker of fright,
Then a practiced calm, in the fading light.
