Parents burying their children
As one’s life on earth – even, yes even in big beautiful blighted Guyana – passes seventy and eighty, one makes time to reflect, wonder, lament and hope. I suspect that most patriots’ dreams, even reasonable expectations, remain unfulfilled as seventy – and eighty–plus folks end in grave or crematorium. What’s all this about? My own national dreams and lament. Just before these great floods hit I “enjoyed” or endured cynical humour. Because just as the government’s national Independence anniversary flag–raising ended PNC dudes posted pics and videos of May 26, 1966 featuring their Founder-Leader as well as shots of flag-raising (2019-2020?) A bow to separation or division depicted there? Their own was better, bigger! Not that 2021 Covid affected Kingston limited edition. Even the national occasion was politicized, perhaps hurting the feelings of talented young participants. Were invitations limited? Denied?
