The holidays should be for healing and atonement

Dec 20, 2012 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
While Christmas is a festive season that represents peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind, our sympathy goes out to all those who have lost loved ones during the year. We are still all in shock at the senseless murders of young men such as Shaquille Grant (Agricola), Dameon Belgrave (Pouderoyen), the three Linden Martyrs; Shemroy Bouyea, Ron Somerset and Allan Lewis and others who were cut down in the prime of their lives.
In the midst of their collective grief, the mothers, fathers and relatives of all those slain in contentious circumstances must continue to hope that good is coming to the land and know that they are not alone in their pain and sadness. As concerned Guyanese, we urge the government to make sure that justice be done so that the parents and relatives of the slain could have closure.
Today, twelve months after the inauguration of a new President, the poor and the working class are no closer on the journey out of poverty.
We call on the government to heed the wishes of the people by paying greater attention to their needs.
In this festive season, we pray for the prosperity of all Guyanese and for commonsense and understanding to prevail in their actions. We also pray for peace and goodwill toward all and for love towards each other. Perhaps the holidays will give our national leaders a chance to reflect on a national plan that is inclusive, so that they can make better personal choices in 2013 to manifest that year into one of healing, atonement and success for all.
A peaceful and joyous Christmas to all. Our fervent wish in this season is that all will put their shoulder to the wheel to develop and build Guyana so that all, not only a selected few can share in the bounties of prosperity.
Dr. Asquith Rose and Harish S. Singh
