Cleansing of the Temple of Democracy
Dear Editor,
Allow me to express my disappointment at the Politicians who have proved that they are no longer worthy to be called leaders of the people of Guyana. They have further caused rift among themselves when they are supposed to build bridges between people and work for unity and love.
It is disheartening to see how power and money can cause the downfall of any leadership. However, one thing is obvious; people are now aware and are tired of political gimmicks to achieve their own goals of power and money.
People of Guyana have given up discussing politics because it is always divisive and not helpful for the nation. If it is not helpful, it must be trampled underfoot because salt has lost its taste. Mind you, I am not pointing to any political party.
For Jesus the Temple of Jerusalem was the sacred space for every people of the nations. When it was defiled by the evil doers, Jesus made a whip out of some cord and drove out every sort of evil from the temple.
We believe that the Parliament is the Temple of Democracy and a temple of the nation where every people of this nation is represented. Do we believe in this? If we believe in this, why has our Temple of Democracy been defiled? We need someone to cleanse it.
Certainly, we need someone like Jesus who can make a whip and cleanse it so that its sole purpose is fulfilled. I would like the politicians to do a retrospect because each is the servant of the people and not bosses of the people. I would like you to enter that Temple of Democracy with people at the heart of your discussion.
Do remember that if you keep people’s interest before your own, you will be the best leaders a nation can dream of. Please do not defile our Temple of the nation. Treat it with respect and dignity. If you respect the parliament you would respect the people for it is people who elected and sent you to this temple so that you decide and dedicate your life to the people of the nation.
