When will we change the story?

Sunday, September 13th, 2020 Parade Ground George-town was the first scene of another display of weeping and mourning that would continue along the East Coast of Demerara and culminate in Berbice. The tears of the oppressed and those who think themselves powerless continue to be disregarded, while many of the authors of the destruction remain unscathed. While the peoples’ energies are consumed by never-ending cries for equal rights, peace and justice, a minority continues to dominate this world.

While we protest, they plan.

While we weep through the night, with joy never arriving in the morning, they watch until the anger subsides, and nothing changes except that they maintain the power.
