All a bunch of hype
I woke up this morning, same as any other day, had some coffee, some toast. Did the usual mundane things like brush teeth, shower. And then it dawned on me...It's election day today. Hmm...still haven't decided who I'm going to vote for. Got all the T-shirts. Read all the propaganda. But still remain undecided. I know one thing for sure though; it doesn't really matter who I vote for. It all remains the same. Regardless who's sitting in the seat, whether white, red or green. The only thing I know for sure is that an era is over. The era of the Netherlands Antilles. Everyone seems gung-ho for this change, but I pause to wonder, and yes, even mourn a little for the loss of a unique status that we will soon no longer have.
So yes, today I've chosen to wear black. For you see, I'm in mourning for a lovely lady called the Netherlands Antilles. I was born an Antillean, and all my life was proud to be an Antillean. Who knows what I'll be at the time of my death...
