Time to act

Tue Jul 22, 2014

As you shed tears

For days

Mourning the loss of your son

You pray that one day, The Gun

will cease to exist

For in the hands of man

It’s purpose is to take the life of anyone{{more}}

As you lay your son to rest

You ask yourself ‘what do I do next?’

Where do I go from here?

They say it’s worse in other countries

Should we be proactive?

Or reactive?

The loss of ‘my son’ may be irrelevant to others

But as his mother ‘my world has shattered,’

How would you feel losing your mother?

Father? Brother? Or Sister?

How would you feel losing someone close to you ?

Someone who has genuinely expressed the words ‘I LOVE YOU’

Government officials, Politicians, Policemen and women,

Let us work together to address this issue which threatens our nation

Poets, Writers, Artistes, Musicians, Artists

Let us embrace our gift to address this issue which threatens our nation

Citizens of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Now is the time to act

Rather than react…
