DEAR EDITOR,
I am kindly asking if you can please put this article into your letter column, this will be of great importance to the Guyanese people and a nation as a whole. If we the Guyanese people want to make Guyana a proud place, we need peace. Hatred and intolerance tells new lies, adapt new disguises and still seek new victims, all too often language is used which turns disagreement into dehumanisation targets being our youths. Words are used as badges of shame to mark others as enemies, to brand those who are different as somehow deviant. All too often virtue seems to be sought through verbal volience, all through real violence ensues and acts of unspeakable cruelty are still perpetrated around the world against people for no reason of their religion, their race political affiliation or their beliefs. Let me say Guyana is no exception. Some of us believe we are born to rule and above the law come what it may.
Knowing as we do, the darkness to which such behaviour leads remember the 60s what Guyanese went through. We must be vigilant in discerning these ever changing threats. We must be fearless in confronting falsehood and resolve in resisting words and act of violence. Let our leaders be truthful, act in a professional manner and lead by example so the people of Guyana can lead a better life. As the election is coming closer the parties must act in accordance of the law and don’t spread false news and incite racial overtures. No one should see a repetition of the 60s. We need no ballot box watch and no rigging. Let it be on a plain and level field and let the Guyanese people make their choice.
The world needs peace and only with peace can we survive and make our country a better place. Our elected leaders, whoever they will be, must be strong, fearless and honest, and lead by example and make decisions in the interest of the people and not just a few. May God bless Guyana.
Yours,
Gobin Persaud
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
