Dear Editor,

I am extremely peeved at seeing persons across the and length and breadth of Jamaica, and across the globe, being ever so quick to extensively highlight and celebrate the extraordinary works of true heroes and humanitarians, like Nelson Mandela, while knowing full well that they are light years away from gaining the courage to continue the journey of those admirable heroes, heroines, and humanitarians.

Those despicable hypocrites, who claim to be touched and motivated by heroes such as Nelson Mandela, continue to nourish their hearts with corruption, human exploitation, greed for wealth and power, and immorality, in fear that going against the status quo will prevent them from “eating a food” and surviving.

Those sordid politicians, businessmen, and citizens who are trying to make us believe they are truly inspired and motivated by the selfless works of those heroes of the world continue to plunge our country into immeasurable depths of poverty, dependence, human exploitation, crime, and immorality.

If you don’t believe me, then honestly answer the following question: How many of you are doing, and would start doing, what our world heroes, such Mandela, have done in order to free your nation from all the abuses and exploitations of the people, even at the expense of your life?

I can proudly say yes to the above question, and I will continue my mission of fighting for what I believe is right for the people of the country and world, even if it continues to cost me jobs, wealth, relationships, and adoration from persons who desperately want me to shut my mouth and start working with this sordid system of the majority.
