Dem boys rememba lang ago when we used to got pork-knocker with dem Warishi, pick axe and battel. Dem used to mine in such a way dat de gold gon last fuh generations.
Dem boys did even try dem hand and dem did mek a few ounces which help dem fuh get-up in life.
But nowadays with dem dragga and dragline wha digging de gold, all we gold gon done before we grand-picknee start fuh pee froth. Dat is wha yuh call destructive mining.
De Oh-Mai company come fuh dig a gold mine. People feel dat with de amount gold in dat mine, dat every Guyanese would be millionaires.
In fact, plenty man leff de wuk in de bauxite industry fuh go and wuk with de Oh-Mai.
But none ah dem become millionaire.
While dem wukkin hard, dem big boys flying in KFC chicken by helicopters.
