Created for Grenada's 50th Independence National Art Show, this piece features a Jab Jab silhouette while the energy and pride of Grenada's National colors dance and flow in the background.
Original Poem:
From the darkness Jab Jabs emerge, with chains that clink,
Our bodies adorned in black, with faces in sync,
They move with a rhythm, wild and untamed,
A celebration of freedom, unashamed.
Canvas of chaos, yet harmony's song,
Jab Jab emerges, where shadows belong.
Sparks of revelry, like embers ignite,
On J'ouvert morning, spirits take flight.
Through chaos and joy, a tale is told,
Of resilience and spirit, fierce and bold.
In the pulse of the music, the island's soul sings,
Jab Jab embodies the freedom it brings.
As the sun rises high, the revelry wanes,
But Jab Jab's essence in memory remains.
A vibrant celebration, a symbol of pride,
Grenada's Jab Jab, forever tied.
-Shawna bass
