Dear Editor
As the days eclipse the night and the battle for our fair share intensifies, the mindset of the Guyanese people plummets to the path of oblivion whilst pondering on the dismal horizon that seem to engulf this nation.
This aspect propels a great degree of anger, astonishment and disbelief when analyzing the insanity and obscurity embedded in the oil contract, which is presently viewed as the greatest betrayal of the century. We can all recall in unison that when the atomic bomb was thrown on Japan, the aftermath of the glare caused a strange reaction from the pilot who after viewing the said catastrophe immediately in great shock exclaimed, “My God what have I done?”
This nation patiently awaits the said utterance from the former Minister of Natural Resource, Raphael Trotman. For us as Guyanese people, we can proudly say without any fear of contradiction that the most barbaric of tribes would not have ventured into this abyss of despair that causes tremendous unabated suffering. Presently, the distress signal is constantly being trumpeted from the lips of the Guyanese people seeking the glorious fortitude of protection but all is not lost for if the incumbent can produce the Midas touch then our great future is ascertained although major doubts persist in this respect. Today as the general population creaks under the economic pressure brought about by the hands of our so-called leaders, the lips of many people are giving utterances that no human being can bear to hear.
