Our Poetry, Our Purpose, Our Space
At its core life is a poetic and philosophical journey. Philosophy (the love of wisdom) employs rational thought in various, vain, efforts to find answers to one's existence; how we came, our purpose, how do we know that we know the world as it is, how it impacts us, and how we relate to it. All civilizations with their many philosophical schools and thoughts, employed these varied approaches: epistemology, ontology, aesthetics, logic, ethics, political philosophy, and metaphysics.
These approaches have also been the essence of all early, medieval, and modern-day philosophers. Philosophy's rational approach has influenced Western Christianity's religious thought, whereas a more mystical path has influenced Coptic, Oriental, and Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Others like Sufism in Islam and Yoga in Buddhism and Hinduism, where an opening up of oneself to spiritual encounters, employing short repetitious prayers via chants.
Yet in all our attempts, questions are still left unanswered; how can man confined to time and space, walking a finite path leading to death, understand That which dwells outside of time, never had a beginning nor an ending. In short, infinite. In our struggles to find answers for not fully knowing, yet still endeavoring to find meaning. Through poetry, we will only attempt to show our philosophical journey, purpose, meaning and destiny. There is a power that emanate from thought and it can enhance our journey throughout a life time.

Trinidad is known for its exotic cosmopolitan population and culture, seen in its many ethnic cuisines and ceremonies. It is home to the largest of only three pitch lakes in the world and is also known for carnival and calypso. The heating and beating of the oil drum from which melodious sounds come, is known worldwide as the steel pan, the only musical invention of the 20th century.
