We are at the mid-way point of the year of promise, success and true happiness. A lot can be said about 2013 to justify what we are seeing today, but let us not dwell in the past. We are here to talk about 2014. What can be said? More lies, deaths and corruption are unveiled on a daily basis. I am a genuine supporter of Kamla Persad-Bissesar and all her efforts to improve the standard of living in our great nation, but I now realise that she can’t do it by herself. One would think that it would be safe to say that her Cabinet would lend support and work relentlessly to get this country back on the horse of success. Well today one would have wasted many thoughts in thinking so.
I think it is unfair that our beloved Prime Minister has to play principal in the schoolyard every other month to groups of highly educated and experienced intellects. I am not here to judge or list what fills the media on a daily basis. The thing is, do we try to fix this or do we play the blame game and condone the sneaky, dirty politics that political forces have engaged in? We all need to take a look at ourselves and really look beyond the tomfoolery and shenanigans and make a decision on how we move forward. I am of the firm belief that if another administration comes in to power in 2015, dog days are ahead.
