A little drop in the hat, crumbs from the pie, this is the season for most Guyanese. While the little drops and few crumbs are not life changing or permanent solutions to eliminate hardships and poverty, still, the people express gratitude.
Like a tragedy Guyana’s story continues to unfold. People are asked to stand in front of the lights and cameras, to praise the people they employ by their votes even when they throw morsels at them. Like the morsels from the billions are from their personal bank accounts. Like they are the gods the people should serve. Like they are not people who will one day lie still and make their transition to the ancestral realm. We have emboldened a small group to be arrogant, selfish, and greedy.
How long will we remain asleep, accepting and simply complaining without any real resistance or unity to change our course?
