Don’t Be Easily Misled

Don’t Be Easily Misled

Beware the glimmer, the honeyed phrase,
The promise of gold at the end of the haze.
Not all that glitters was born to shine;
Some paths are poison wrapped in twine.

The silver tongues, they twist and bend,
Whispering dreams that have no end.
“Follow me,” they beckon, “I’ll show you the way!”
But they feed you lies and lead you astray.

Oh, how the promise of better burns bright,
Blinding your reason, distorting your sight.
A gilded ladder that climbs to the sky,
But each rung is false, each word a sly lie.

$100,000 Political Promise

 
Lincoln Bain

Lincoln Bain - COI Leader


In The Bahamas, the leader of the COI political party Lincoln Bain, has promised that if elected monies collected from the country's natural resources would be put into a sovereign wealth fund and every Bahamian citizen would receive $100,000. Is this possible?

Lincoln Bain's promise to distribute $100,000 to every Bahamian citizen from natural resource revenues may be an ambitious political proposition, but its feasibility depends on a range of factors, including the scale of natural resources, the revenues they generate, population size, and economic conditions.

Turn Your Frown Into a Smile

When shadows fall and spirits sink,
And sorrow paints the world in ink,
When burdens grow too vast, too wild,
Turn your frown into a smile.

The clouds that loom with heavy gray,
Will part to light another day.
The darkest hour shall pass in time,
And sorrow's chime will lose its rhyme.

Each wrinkle etched upon your face,
Can trace the path of love and grace.
A smile transforms, it heals, revives,
A beacon bright in weary lives.
