Kaieteur News- Dem boys seh Burnham come back, but dis time he dress up in bright red and he head shaved clean fuh show he horns. And he walkin’ ‘round like he own de place. And if yuh think me lie, tek wan good look at wha’ goin’ on!
People can’t gather in peace no more. Every time somebody try fuh hold a lil meeting, de hooligans does appear like is magic and with placards and cheerleaders. Before yuh could say ‘dictatorship,’ de hooligans get let loose, slapping people and keeping noise fuh disrupt public assembles.
Back in de day, dem use to call it ‘orchestrated thuggery.’ Now dem call it ‘spontaneous protests’. Same jackass, different saddle.
Dem boys seh de State become de ultimate hitman. If yuh oppose dem boys in red, yuh best prepare fuh some legal gymnastics. Today is de taxman knockin’ at yuh door. Tomorrow is de drug squad showin’ up fuh search yuh fridge. If yuh real unlucky, is some fancy charge land in yuh lap—public mischief, sedition, or de latest one, ‘contempt of Big Man.’
But wha’ had dem boys hollering was how long it tek fuh de government fuh decide who de State could do business with. Six months plus, and is like dem just wake up one morning and holler, ‘Eureka!’ But just like dat, de lightbulb finally come on! Yuh mean to tell me it tek all dat time to come up with dat fiction? Like dem been busy doing something else… maybe sharpening deir knives?
Dem boys want remind de people ‘bout something important. De monster yuh create does always tun back pun yuh. Today dem sending hooligans after others. Tomorrow, dem same hooligans gan come knockin’ at yuh door. Today, dem using de State like a sledgehammer against dem rivals. Tomorrow, it crashing down pun yuh head.
De Monster loose, and guess what? Nobody put a leash on it! Dem boys seh when yuh feed a beast too much power, it don’t stop till it eat yuh too. But leh we see who gon be de last meal!
