The Tragedy
I’m not very
clear about what happened yesterday. The various reports were vague. The one
thing that was very blatantly true was that the Party Monarch went on as normal
and Bajan seem to find nothing wrong with this. Why during a tragedy involving
the hundreds of family members, maybe even thousand of family and friends that
we don’t see the need to put off national shows but if it rained, then we would
have given into nature’s wrath. The real tragedy here is that our people can’t
seem to prioritize they concerns for each other. How can we in one breath
celebrate the success of this show, while expressing sympathy for the casualties
yesterday? These same entertainers lost fans, and fans are their livelihood. Is
remorse to be counted in money, convenience and time?

The Tragedy Calls came in yesterday with really
bad news Road accident left many listeners
confused All they heard was there were three causalities So little to give the families ease Hours seemed past before ambulances
came And more hours again at the A&E
waiting The news didn’t stop the Party Monarch
plans Had performers singing to the adoring
fans Our priorities seemed very strange to
me Revealing an underlying tragedy Show biz folks say the “show must go
on” Entertainers treated the tragedy like
long gone How come they would have stopped if
it had rained I thought too we were prepared since
CWC was retained Lots of issues but this one can’t be
denied Last news reported 35 injured 10
serious and 6 died |
