The ‘bush’ yardstick for development

THE PARROT
The Toms, Dicks and Harrys who are loyal to Uncle Bob down at the Place of CONgress rushed to counter Randy’s accuracy. It was like “tag-team” rushing with each trying to out-do the other to get a “piece” of Randy. Randy, being the consummate political analyst he is, noted that the only reason they want a “piece” of him is because he “sweet”. The Parrot is no “sweet” expert so like some politicians, I have, “no comments” on that. What is sure, based on what Randy’s “buse-ers” are saying, they haven’t found anything “sweet” in his findings.
The Parrot has noticed how some nuff people using the papers and internet blogging to ridicule a good doctor chap.

The doctor accurately “diagnosed” that this land has recovered from its once prolonged state of depression; a state of acute coma.

In medical terms (as I saw pun TV since I am no doctor), the state was a “flat liner”. It refers to a greenish flat line as seen on a monitor in the emergency room which confirms that the person it is attached to has “kicked the bucket”; dead; cold as a dog nose.

The land was basically “dead” with its people frustrated and in an acute state of delusion. Years after, visual examinations showed numerous signs of recovery. Doctors are fascinated by this meteoric recovery over time. Up comes the good doctor mentioned, Randy.

Being a doctor, he resorted to scientific means to confirm what was already known with regards to the land’s recovery. His findings proved that the recovery has its genesis some seventeen years back.

The Parrot cannot say for sure if the doctor incorporated carbon-dating mechanisms to confirm the birth of the recovery.

Whatever methods he used, his accuracy is impeccable.

This “impecableness” has led the many “buse-ups” he has received since making his findings public.

The “buse-ers” who were accustomed to the comatose state that once existed, are now suffering from another serious illness; “disaccustomcy”. Apparently they are not accustomed to living in a developing state.

So, naturally, when someone ain’t accustomed to something, they find all kinds o’ excuses to blame the thing.

The thing being referred to, is development. Everybody, including the Toms, Dicks and Harrys (TDHs) mentioned above, know that it ain’t need a Randy to emphasise that the land has seen numerous advancements through development.

They know, because they ain’t like Stevie Wonder who can’t see. They can also remember what it was like before. What happen to the TDHs is that nobody ain’t suppose to write ‘bout these advancements, including Randy. So when he wrote, he touched their “craw” as we seh locally.

The TDHs ain’t want the “diasporic” Guyanese to know and experience the many advancements here.

So when Randy opened his mouth, they opened all of theirs to try and “drown” he out. The man wasn’t here for a number of years, Randy that is. He knows the derelict state it was when he left. So obviously, having returned and seeing what was once inconceivable, he opened his “mouth” and write.

The TDHs writing and writing in an effort to “plaster up” Randy’s mouth. The plaster ain’t sticking. Apparently is one from the past that was around in the old Big Hospital during the state of depression alluded to.

One Tom with a Mall-come first name and Harry-paul last name (see the involvement of the Harrys) write and seh how because some park on the coast west of Demerara got plenty bush, the place ain’t developed and that Randy lie.

According to this Tom, bush means lack of development. Now, hear this, this said Tom with two first names making up his last name (Harry and Paul) lives in the USA.

Now I can understand him saying that for America since Bush is considered to be synonymous with a lack of development.

Just look at what Barrack inherited; a collapsed economy and so on and so on. You know the rest.

But America got bush despite the departure of Bush. I am not referring to Jeb.

America got plenty run-down places that are given a fancy title; “slums” which can interchangeably be used for bush.

The Bronx and Harlem and other parts of NY; parts of LA; California; Louisiana; Atlanta; Washington DC just a few blocks from Barrack’s office in the White House and others.

This squawk ain’t got space to list all the States that make up America; all have their slums and bush. Should Randy, the doctor, now used the evidence of those run-down places in America to say that it ain’t developed?

Should the Parrot say that because Central Park in NY got plenty bush, America ain’t develop?

Because Brazil got most of the Amazon rainforest, it ain’t developing? Everybody now advocating to keep bush to save the planet.

If all dem fancy countries start growing bush they would no longer be developed? Boy, dem boys fuh real?

The TDH boys ah talking ‘bout. If bush is now the new yardstick to measure development, then the Parrot ain’t sticking around.

I will flap my wings around the globe to observe bush concentration and make my own diagnosis on development. All now have competition. I starting a blog too.

Squawk! Squawk!
