Every time I see another ‘One Guyana’ concert I wonder if the idea is to keep the people feeling good and entertained while distracted from the issues that are detrimental to this country. Is ‘One Guyana’ the same as ‘One People, One Nation, One Destiny’? Or is it two different meanings? Perhaps the true meaning of ‘One Guyana’ is that it is for one group of people – a group who allows themselves to be muzzled, who do not oppose any actions from those in power whether right or wrong, a group who rub shoulders with the big boys and only look out for their interests and not that of the collective.
The concept of ‘One Guyana’ seems illusive and not a genuine attempt to unite us as a people or improve our lives. For how can we keep concerts, build monuments and plaster ‘One Guyana’ around the country when we can clearly see the widening gap between the minority rich and majority ‘not rich’ demonstrating that there are two Guyanas?
