Season’s Greetings


by Fayemarie Anderson Carter

I hope everyone had a lovely time and if you didn’t, tell me all about it! As I have been reading all the posts made by fellow concerned citizens, one thing seems recurrent. No one knows who really has the Belizeans’ best interest at heart. There appears to be no front runner who encompasses the qualities we wish to see in our leaders. There is a sense of frustration, hopelessness and despair. Our society seems to have come to accept blatant thievery and corruption as status quo. Each side accuses the other of the exact same thing. So, who is right? Who has the answer? Is there a silver lining in this at all?

Merry Christmas Baby

Merry Christmas Baby,
You sure don’t treat me right.
Merry Christmas Baby,
You must not be too bright.
You turned down US AID,
You will ruin our paradise.

I feel like cryin’ y’all,
Listenin’ to the news on my radio,
I am now cryin’ y’all,
Listenin’ to the news on my radio, oh, oh, oh, oh
Feel like I’m gonna pass out,
What the hell is this all about?

Who wa feed mi pickney, baby?
Only me, y’all.
Nobody gat no money, baby
All I can do is bawwwwl.

Merry Christmas, Baby,
You sure don’t treat me right.
You act like you have our best interest,
But all you is fiiiiiight.
