De place quiet, really quiet. De thieves tekking a rest and is only dem boys understand why. Dem thieves and snatchers and gunmen was looking at Haiti and dem didn’t have time to do nutten else.
But de few who continue to do dem own thing always got some excuse fuh dem actions. De other day one of dem end up in front de magistrate. When de lady ask he why he snatch de lady cell phone he tell de court how he was contributing to de Haiti Relief Effort.
He seh that he relieve de woman of she phone and it tek some effort. He claim that he was then going to send de phone to Haiti. Another one claim, how he was collecting money fuh Haiti and that is why he was robbing people.
Well de magistrate tell de fuss one that she gun mek he experience Haiti. She claim that dem had people trapped in de rubble suh she gun put he in a place wheh it just like if he trapped in rubble and can’t move about.
De other one get ship out—straight to Mazaruni Prisons wheh food is not in ready supply and wheh every prisoner got to line up just like how dem people lining up fuh food.
But that ain’t de whole story. Women and all deh in de mix. One lady went to a neighbour house and ask fuh cook food. She know that de people ain’t got stove suh she gun collect de cooked food.
Another thing that got de place quiet is de lights. People use to go pun de road and lef dem house because of de darkness. Now wid de lights dem staying home.
Even dem people who like play woman had to stay home because money was scarce. Dem vex. Dem want to know why Guyana got to collect money to send to Haiti. Dem claim that de people who doing de collection shortening de li’l bit that was available.
