Satire without any ire

Dear Editor,
How yu all doing? Yu all see how a lot of operators on the road doing sheer stupidness? Is like, no matter what happen, dey just don’t care. Look how much tickets dem police writing and still, dem road users still carrying on as if every bady feel dey have the right o way. We Guyanese don’t learn and have no respect for discipline driving in this country. Is like, we don’t value we life nor the other person life. Watch how we face does change when we own blood become a fatality. The only time we gon stop is when we ain’t here anymore! This speeding is the worst headache for everyone. I hope all dem CCTV cameras can come out all over de country sooner than later. But is not only de roads need cameras. They need cameras in other places too to catch dem ‘hot hand’. Yu all know exactly what a talking about.

Now Loo don’t susu all over the place like other people and expose heself. We Guyanese love to stop anywhere and anytime and do we business. Is a bad habit and a dirty one too. Dem men don’t care who watching or who ain’t watching. Cockroach eat out dat ting dey call shame. What kind of example we setting? Worse yet, is when dem men spray up other people property. Yes, some people always got to clean up other people mess. And then, they get the other type of susu, yu know, de name talking that does leave yu ears ringing and yu feel like dem burning.

I get tired of dis fire every week. Look like the people tek dis ting serious, yu know, ‘mo fya, slo fya.’ Literally, dis ting playing out practically. Cause don’t matter no more, is the effect. I sarry dis term ever come out. Now people looking in one direction only with pointed fingers. Dats why, yu have to be careful what yu say and how yu say tings. Some scar does left for a life time.

Is like when we say we hiring only people who look like we and belong to we party. Imagine how dis gon look in de eyes of dem big bais in Washington. And we claim how de govment discriminating we. Yu see how dis ting come back to haunt and hurt we? But we feel like we is de Warriors. No bady can beat we because we is de champions. We forget even the great Cassius Clay get knock down. We feel we gon fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee forever.
Yu know, is a lil axe does cut down big tree. De Washington trip bring we back to earth. Yes man, we been flying high and thought everything rosy in DC. But when we reach there, it was anything but cozy. So dis mudslinging don’t pay. We learn a bitter lesson and now we have to be more careful how we following yu know who in de States. We not even back to Square One because dats in Mississauga in Canada.

Talk about Canada. The more we bad talk de Big Guy, de more people all over de world honoring him. Look na, Pressy received the Visionary Leadership Award from the CGCC at their Maple Leaf Awards ceremony. Now Pressy gon head CARICOM. I tell yu, now we doom. De man going where de Kabaka never went and de Ranger dream about. We nowadays, can’t even afford to dream. We already make bad fu we self when we cuss out dem Heads of Govment during Election time. All dem islands love Pressy now more than before. We mess right in we own home. Who gon clean it?

I tell yu, de more ruckus we make and de more caucus we attend, is de more fracas we make fu we own self. Look how many visitors coming to we country and holding big big conference and want to do business with de Govment. Pressy mean real business. De Big Guy cleaning up all dem NIS backlog and clearing up all dem passport books. When we in office, all we do is watch de pile grow bigger and drink ice wata whole day.

Yu got to hand it to Pressy. Like he don’t sleep. He is a workaholic, left, right and center, the spinning wheel don’t stop for any break. How I wish we could a do de same thing when we was in power. But yu can’t cry over spill milk. De Pressy is right, less talk and plenty action. Dats de only way yu gon get result like Aunty Priya to top the Caribbean.
Now PM gone and open up a new, spanking million-dollar Post Office fu de people right in Buxton. A can’t say we people anymore because de Govment walking all over de place and staking dem name by making friends and influencing people with dem projects. But is good for de people. Now de people got no choice but to meet and greet dem like family. A tell yu, we is born losers! We days numbered. Dat means I got to hold this empty bowl longer because no body gon back a losing horse.
So long bannas, de Govment mek me sweating more than the weather.

Yours respectfully,
Jai Lall.
