Grief
Long loud cries flow from oppression. Silent cries create wrinkles on the faces of a people divided. The grief is not only for brown and black bodies bleeding on Guyana’s soil killed by brown and black bodies emboldened, protected by the state, benighted, and dreaming of decorating their faces with teardrop tattoos. The grief is not just for flesh rotting or ashes blowing in the wind or feeding fishes in Guyana’s waters while the accused breathe, are soothed and are free from charges.
