Tributes to Cheddi Jagan

 

• Cheated but never defeated by Lester Daniels

  You’ve brought us from colonialism
  Right on to Nationalism
  Many times you’ve been cheated
  But still you remain undefeated
  Then in 92
  You showed the world what you could do.

   President Jagan, you’re the Saviour of Guyana
  Where can we find another?
  You’ve saved us from disaster
  Now we’re all very much better
  so together we will co-operate
  To make Guyana truly great.

  A man loved by all
  A man of integrity
  A man of fortitude.

   A man who fought for all
  A man who give his all
  A man of strength
  A man of compassion.

  A man who heard the call
  A man who heeded that call
  A man of devotion
  A man of sacrifice.

  A man of justice
  A man of heresy
  A man of distinction
  A man of quintessence.

  Possessing a virtuous heart
  Of manifold layers of complexities
  Seemingly a strong tower
  Now, we know delicately fragile.
