Stand up and be counted

Jan 31, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

Dear land of Guyana of rivers and plains

How long will you sit not voicing complaints

Our leaders continue to deceive us

As they plot and scheme nefarious

With foreigners that are notorious

For robbing the naive with intent pernicious

It’s no good being silent, they’ll just think you agree.

With whatever they do – be it one or two or three

So stand up and be counted to make them understand

No longer will we tolerate their dealings underhand

I’m tired of leaders whose purpose we see

To enrich themselves, friends, and family

While siding with the enemy to rob us daily

Of our God given riches from the Almighty.

The time will come when everyone must give

An account of the shellfish way he has lived

For God will require it, if not now, then in the end

So stand up and be counted, if you are His friend.

(Abraham was called God’s friend Isaiah 41:8)

Regards,

Gloria Loo
