We have degenerated into bestiality, madness

May 26, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
There are many things that Freddie Kissoon wrote I don’t agree with, and he isn’t someone I will choose as one of my friends. But if we are going to talk about democracy, independence, and press freedom, then attacking a man with the vilest indecency, it shows how far we have degenerated into bestiality, madness, and primitivity.
Over the years I have read about Guyana’s decline into corruption, violence, revenge, and opportunism, hoping that a fairy will descend from the heavens and inspire our rulers towards a sense of humanity, goodwill and civilization. Now I give up on that, since we have reached an incorrigible and putrid stage of rotten animalism. To throw filth into the face of a writer and academic, who only gives his views on matters, summarizes the mental and moral state of Guyana: the people whom we look up to for justice, protection, and governance have betrayed their instincts of worms in a septic tank, where filth reigns supreme.
Whatever illustrious achievements these leaders boast of, whatever good inclinations they flaunt, whatever promises they now make will be an irony of and antithesis to this self-deprecating act of plotting and executing an unprecedented drama of filth. If someone now writes that Guyana has plummeted into a state of worms and faces, I can no longer defend it by writing about hummingbirds, Easter kites, Coca-Cola-bottle girls, and frangipani flowers. Our masters have flown their flags to announce the squalour, putrefaction and stink of their political minds.
I will follow this issue very closely to see who will respond fairly to this fecal act against their own decency and beliefs; then I will write my own piece. I know that there are many in Guyana (and outside Guyana) who cannot resist the temptation to go with the worms into a pit of filth for bullions, romance, and a nice dinner. But let me give them the benefit of the doubt.
