The First Indian's Arrival in1845 on the Fatal Razack
Our ancestors are now history that's a fact
In the days of slavery they knew
How hardship and pain would grew
They had the task of planting sugar cane
and in the muddy Lagoons planted rice grains.
Yes they came and worked like slaves
We are the future sons and daughters so brave
Those were the days of feet in chains
The marks of lashes that still remain
Clothes were washed on the river bank
Rubbing them above the stone half sank.
With a beautiful evening flambeau light
That gave us day in the night
Food was cooked on a fireside
A place with comfort and pride
Houses's were built with mud and grass
Those were the days of our past.
Mr. Sadhu Sonnylal, survivor of the past
Instills in us an example to last
What he knew and saw in his time
Is lost in today's wave of crime.
Today we have His Worship the Mayor Mr. Gopaul Boodhan & Mr. Ajit Pramsingh son's of this land
Who have contributed keeping the memories of our Ancestors alive
With their Indian Arrival Day plan
With their great example before me
His Worship The Mayor Mr. Gopaul Boodhan, & Mr. Ajit Premsigh with God faith and good spirit bless in thee
Give their service to humanity, their fate to honor, and their duty of the hour
The Celebration of the day, with God utmost Blessed power.
