Caribbean Writers II

As it has been said before, Caribbean writers share and will always share the struggle of having a mixture of culture. Through poems and essays, they express the way they preserve their own culture, and the way they manage to live with two cultures. In the poem Patriot, the author Cyril Dabydeen writes about the mixture of two cultures. Although he wants to be part of the new culture, which is the Canadian one, he clearly states and keeps in mind that he will always be "tropical to the bones". No matter where he is, he will be faithful to his Caribbean culture. No matter what he plays with or the cold country where he is, he will always preserve his own culture. Being Always is also a poem that deals with Caribbean culture, but most of all how people try to arrange themselves to a new world or new culture, and how that new world or new culture is arranged within people. This poem also tells the reader that time arranges time, and that we do not live forever. So stop arranging yourself to a new world or new culture. JUST LIVE and learn how to manage two cultures. Identity, exintense, struggle no matter what the topics are, Caribbean writers, through literary texts, will always show the audience the way they preserve their own culture and of course the way they have mange to live with two cultures.
