Dear Editor,

ESSEQUIBO belongs to our country,
It is one of three counties.
Made up of many a region,
It´s Guyana´s foregone decision.

None of Venezuela´s reasons,
Will stand up in any season.
Their government is climbing a tree,
That`s grown by we.

But no one is dispensing,
No one is annexing,
We are not scared of any rattling,
No matter how loud is the chanting.

We ain`t parting with we coconut,
Even if they rot.
We even keeping the bee,
This is the land of the free.

Not one guava,
Not one patwa.
Not an inch of soil,
Not a drop of oil.
Different races make up our national community,
United we stand in this extensive society.
We possess high morality,
And respect the law of humanity.

Guyanese believe in justice,
We already gave notice.
The ICJ will decide,
In Essequibo, who will reside.

Guyana wants Venezuela as a friend,
And not as a fiend.
This has been the trend,
We wish not to amend.

But, if Essequibo we have to defend,
Our troops, we will not hesitate to send.
Guyanese are not gluttonous, but content,
From humble roots, we did descend.

We ain`t separating from what we own,
Essequibians, we will never disown.
We reside in all 83 thousand square miles,
And preside with sunny and happy smiles.

Yours respectfully,
Jai Lall
