Dear Editor,

So this morning I visited my doctor and upon examination he quipped, “Everton, I wish not to step on your Clarks.” We laughed heartily, then we transitioned into an intense debate about what transpired a few hours before.

This is my nine-year-old English Clarks that the doc would have stepped on. I told him a free visit would suffice the dirt.

Nevertheless, fun and joke aside, I’m prepared to say sorry, a thousand times, to anybody who steps on my Clarks/toes.

Materialism has ruined our natural instincts to make errors, laugh, and have fun.

Despotic ignorance rules the frail human flesh that so desperately awaits gases and worms.

Notwithstanding, it is through genuine care that we hold in high esteem human dignity and the sacredness of everyone’s inalienable right for a place and space on the stage of life.

Whilst the uniformed groups work for stripes and all others work for promotions, the ignoramuses amongst us work for blackened stars and creating duppies as part of their initiation into diabolic and nonsensical sects. One is left to wonder, though, haven’t we all contributed to their acts through the glorification of their evil practices? Haven’t we contributed to the evil acts in the name of liberalism and relativism?

What Prime Minister Andrew Holness has done for the four heroic young men is what our nation truly needs — glorification of goodness, mercy, kindness, and human life. This is the start of celebrating what makes a good person, a good citizen, a good village — an excellent nation.

Whilst we condemn this heinous act and wish that the perpetrator faces the consequences of his actions, as civilised people, we beg for mercy and understanding that no one is beyond redemption.

“Mi naa step pon nobody shoes”, but let us be willing to right the wrongs.

Everton Tyndale
