Down to the beach

Down to the beach

Down to the beach

On a sunny day we go

Beach bags packed with sun screen lotions

Hands rubbing people’s backs in slow motion

Glistening oily bodies radiating with sensation

Down to the beach

Down to the beach

Where a chilly sea breeze blows

Let’s have some fun

In the red-hot sun

Down to the beach

As never-ceasing waves play across the shores

People happily play dreading any rainy downpour

Down to the beach

Where young lovers closely nestle

As sand creatures cause the sand to bristle

Seagulls gliding in the air with screams and whistles

Kids picking up shells and building stormy sand castles

Down to the beach

Where mostly good vibes flow

Down to the beach

We go whilst there is still sun without snow

The Guatemalan claim rests on a treaty with the United Kingdom, which the Guatemalan government claims was violated, granting them the territory. After Belize claimed its independence, Guatemala refused to recognize it as a country until 1991. Even now, there are continuous border debates between the two countries, and there are currently British military personal in Belize to protect them from any conflict with Guatemala.

Belize, By Vilma Young

I love your green hills and sunny vales,
your flowering trees and sunny dales.
When wondering through a starry night the
firefly shines its dazzling light.

What mystery your cayes unfold
so many legends never stood,
of the baymen who bled and died
on sands of cayes for their pride.

Land of the free where none are slaves,
One people proud of their heritage,
black, white, Indian, Spanish people all
ready for their country's call.

This land of ours will always be
the home of people who are free,
and so we ask the Lord above,
Oh God protect this land we love.
