Aug 02, 2016 Dem Boys Seh, News
Yesterday was de day when some of dem boys great, great grandfather stop being slaves. Then dem same people rather than tek every cent dem get and buy rum, save dem money to buy property. Dem people buy whole villages.
In dem days nobody use to thief people money. Everybody know wheh de village money hide up. That is why dem boys want to know wheh this thiefing come from. Dem know wheh de gun come from. It start when Jagdeo was president and it grow under him. Dem boys seh that crime was like egg under a fowl. It hatch and is more fowl.
Anyhow, was de freedom thing that ketch dem boys. Even if dem didn’t know what was happening dem get a chance to understand why people celebrate. But dem can’t understand that de same people does put aside de same clothes dem proud to wear pun day like yesterday and wear de white people clothes wid tie and suit in de hot, hot sun.
And while people celebrating some people was doing stupidness. A man claim how he bail he mattie thief man and when de case done de man refuse to give him back his money. Dem boys hear he beg one time too often because a man end he life wid some bullets right in front of wheh he live.
He didn’t think about celebrating he freedom; he didn’t even think about he grandparents who use to slave.
And while some people celebrating some was punishing. Dem buy dem plane ticket long now because de airline advertise cheap flight. But old people always seh cheap nah good and good nah cheap. De plane tekking more than two days to travel from de States to Guyana.
Eastern Airline got people sleeping fuh days at all dem airline. People tek floor mek bed at Timehri. In New York it was even wuss because is nuff people there.
Florida was de same thing. People wid baby suddenly find out what is punishment and all because dem biy cheap plane ticket.
One man get so vex that eh cuff de plane window and break it. He in a jail in Trinidad. De same money wha he think he save pun a plane ticket is de same money he got to spend fuh a lawyer and then he got to spend two times that amount in fine.
Some scouts seh that dem never coming back to Guyana because of dem airline wid dem cheap flight and is three of dem.
Talk half and remember that cheap nah good and good nah cheap
