Just remember that We Are ; One people, One nation, One destiny.Here is a quote from the author, “I wrote this book because I believe we are the movement of this new millennium. As we March and protest for equality. We are marching and protesting for the lives we have lost and for the living. In order for us to accept that we are one, we must accept each other for who we are as individuals and put aside our differences.” Review This book of poems, We Are One written by Leon D. Labastide is one that has resonated in my heart. It took a trend opposite to the protocol I have come to know. At the end of every session the last person to speak is the president. With the hope that his message is left for you to hear. This book brings you full circle, it gives us the history, the people and the places that makes us Guyana. The cultures, the leaders, the ones who fought to bring us to where we are. The ones who rise up to vote and did not stay at home. They understand the sacrifices of our fore-fathers that give us this right. The last poem, the footballer who will never give up, a good example of the resoluteness of the people of our great country. Guyana through the eyes of this poet, it brings tears to my eyes that such a young man could understand love for country and the significance of sacrifice. I would put this book in every youthful hand across this country, giving them the ability to see history unfolding through the eyes of a youth just like them and witness the transformation of love for country. Kudos to you my dear. Guyana is fortunate to have you tell their story. Her Worship Waneka A.
