Just recentlyI was
reminded,
by a visitor
to this island,
of this wall.
I used to
drive past
here
every
day
without
really
giving
it a
second
glance.
It has beena long time,
yet the
image
still remains.
Right next
to this
building,
a new road
and bridge
have been
built,
ironically,
with the assistance of the Chinese government, I think.
This timein the
islands'
history
is still
not openly
discussed
or taught
in schools.
10 men
remain
in prison
and families
from all sides are still hurting. The wall, whether or not one agrees with its' sentiment, seems to serve as the only public memorial of that time.
its a shame they dont teach the history of the invasion/troubles at school,many of my old friends from school were from grenada or their families.
ReplyDeleteat the time our teacher said a prayer for those children with family still there.
the past can teach the younger generation a lot.
