One love
published: Tuesday | February 4, 2003

THE EDITOR, Sir:

TO ALL the readers, leaders and employers, as I sat watching the National Prayer Breakfast, the twenty-third of its kind, I had to ask the question? "Are we our brothers keeper?"

I look back before Independence and remember the people who care ­ Rev. Hugh Sherlock, Elias Issa, Abe Issa, Rev. R.O.C. King, Norman Manley, Alexander Bustamante, etc. Today, nobody cares, so, Jamaica and all its people are going to waste.

As a boy, I can remember Kingston. We could walk the streets and lanes from Six Miles, Spanish Town Road to Bull Bay and you would be greeted with a smile, and something to eat if you are hungry. If you went to the country, you would be welcomed with love. Today, you are told to call the police.

I am calling on all Jamaicans to wake up.

"Out of many we are 'One'," Robert Marley said, "One love". I am calling on all our leaders to tell the nation the truth and let us all act responsibly to build a better and loving nation under God. We are a strong people, we are leaders, we can motivate others to build a better world. Rise up Jamaicans let us go forward with "One Love".

I am, etc.,

LLOYD HAYE
