Partition Guyana?

Partition Guyana?

Guyana is in turmoil

Since the Jagan-Burnham days

The nation was split

Between East Indians and Blacks

This is the legacy that has taken hold

And it makes no sense blaming the British

For that’s the way of politics

Since this division in the 1950’s

Voting in Guyana has always been suspicious

With East Indians and Blacks vying for power

International observers monitor the national elections

But still some results of the past were suspect along racial lines

American President Jimmy Carter headed one such team

The 2020 elections has again been marred

With accusations between the Afro-Granger and Indo-Jagdeo camps

There are accusations of rigging in Region 4

So once again there are upheavals with Blacks and East Indians

Where there was violence,

Innocent Guyanese terrorized, and some were killed

One great thing that has happened is Guyana now has an oil boom

With its population less than one million

There’s a forecast that millions would be flowing into its economy

Why squander these resources with the country in turmoil?

It appears the best thing to do is to divide the country

Administratively and economically equally between the races

This will mean that Guyanese might still stand a chance to live in peace

Will partition be the answer?

“Gracious Creator, help Guyanese to work out their differences amicably.  Let its leaders show wisdom and good judgment in this country torn by racial strife.”

Amen
