CALL me sentimental but I believe there are values and traits that depict the reality of surreal presentations. What does that mean? You know it but you haven’t accepted.Consider this: Found in Mexico and Central America is a cunning viper called the Cantil. The Cantil is short and heavy thus disabling fast, movements which may be needed especially when hunting.

But it is never affected by this or rather this never affects its ability to catch its food. The Cantil finds a way to get the Job done. Its first move is to accept that it is difficult to catch large preys so it decides to focus on the weaker and smaller ones but this is just the beginning, it showcases its highest level of craftiness when it presents its colourful tail as worm for young animals to feed on, striking them unexpectedly and injecting its venom.
The Cantil is not the only Viper with this ability but is most popularly known for this; thus being called the ‘Caudal luring’’ of the day but that isn’t the end of today’s segments of animal biology.
I needed to share that with you, because it is equally important; that like vulnerable critters in the jungle we recognise the ‘Caudal luring’ of the day.
Guyana must now be seen especially at this time as the playing field for large predators and prey. After all, everyone wants to win.
I find it insulting that political parties and leaders approach the Guyanese people as though they are small, foolish prey. This assuming naiveté they seemingly believe we possess is at the peak of insults in my opinion .
I find it even more deceptive that they, like the Cantil, utilise whatever appeals to us as citizens and that they boldly step out to inflict on the hearts of the good spirited with the use of fake profiles and confessions expressing sudden confidence in the combined Opposition and especially the PNC who over the years have injected its venom into the economy and continues to disguise itself in different ways with the same agenda of capturing and devouring.
I tell myself don’t be a fool, and I say it to you as well, like the songstress, Shirley Bassey, “do not be in denial. It will never be him and we shall surely die’’, so examine the grounds and know your snakes.
The AFC is a snake and you know this because they have deceived you already. They have promised you so much but instead of delivering they have taken away.
In most recent times they have attempted to take away the truth from the very setting of life, by acknowledging the PNC as criminals in the beginning and later forming alliances with these very criminals in efforts to allure you.
But let us not turn a blind eye on the PNC, the real ‘Caudal luring’ of the day who persistently and valiantly presents themselves as the answer for Guyana. I am even more fearful of this deceiver because they have already captured and injected their venom into the AFC and together they are coming for us.
What will be defining is the willingness of Guyanese to protect themselves from these vipers or to possess that very naiveté they prey on; should it exist but surely I tell you whether I be classified a small prey in the jungle or Shirley Bassey, I will not be a fool, I will not be fooled.
