April 28th, 2008 | filed in Guyana Cocaine | organise, mobilise, resist, protest!
Dead is Travis Parks, a mini-bus conductor and part-time labourer of Rasville. According to residents after being pulled out of a bushy lot where he had gone to relieve himself and accused of stealing a gold chain, Parks was allegedly shot in the back as he was being led to the security firm’s vehicle. The four guards then were said to have picked up the bullet casing and driven away. A passer-by took Parks to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) in his vehicle, where he succumbed while undergoing treatment.
======If We Must Die : Claude McKay (1919)
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
