Sir Harry Oakes and His Mysterious Death in The Bahamas

Sir Harry Oakes was one of the wealthiest men of his time, a larger-than-life figure whose rise to fortune and untimely, brutal death in 1943 remain a subject of intrigue and speculation. His life, his connection to The Bahamas, and the subsequent investigation into his murder comprise a story of wealth, power, betrayal, and mystery.

 Sing Like a Bird

On the shores of a sunburnt isle,
Where waves whisper secrets in coral smiles,
A shadowed figure in cuffs was led,
Through streets where the truth was left unsaid.
The weight of sins upon their chest,
A conscience long dormant, now confessed.

Beneath the palms, where sunlight kissed,
The names of devils filled their list.
Men of power, cloaked in pride,
Their gilded lies now thrown aside.
For years they wove a wicked thread,
Of poison trails and rivers red.

"Sing like a bird," the jailers said,
Their voices cold, their eyes blood-red.
"Tell us the tale of your secret feast,
Of guns and drugs and gilded beasts.
Lay bare the names who shared your spoils,
The lords of crime who oiled your coils."

Where To Now?

 Where To Now?

Oh land of sun and aquamarine seas,
Of gentle breezes, swaying palm trees.
Your beauty unmatched, a beacon of grace,
Yet shadows gather, a shameful disgrace.

Where to now, oh isle so fair,
When trust is broken beyond repair?
The badge once honored, a symbol of pride,
Now sullied by greed, where can we hide?

A uniform sworn to protect and serve,
Twists its purpose, begins to swerve.
Side by side with the shadowy trade,
A pact of corruption and honor betrayed.
