Abuse of power

Dear Editor,

As a poet of Guyana (I am proud to appropriate to myself this designation) I have spoken of the abuse of power in many of my poems.

In reading the letters of the philosopher Samuel Johnson in the mid 70s, I came upon this statement of his:

If power be in the hands of men, it will sometimes be abused. 

Is this statement applicable to those in power in Guyana? I wonder.

Yours faithfully,

Krishna Nand Prasad
