Your Excellency, ELDER, Father Hamilton Green,
LONG LIVE H.E. HAMILTON BILAL MOHAMMED GREEN — O.R., CCH, JP., COA — 92 YEARS not out on to YOUR CENTURY, with Sixes, Fours and Singles.
On this Blessed Monday, on YOUR 92nd Earthstrong, WE SALUTE YOU in Reverence, Respect, and Profound Gratitude for Your SEVEN DECADES of DISTINGUISHED SERVICES to Guyana.
You are not just a former Prime Minister, Vice President, First Deputy Prime Minister, and the longest-serving Mayor of Georgetown — YOU are Guyana’s LIVING Memory, Conscience, and Moral Compass.
From the Cabinet of Nation-Building in the 1980s, to sweeping the streets and restoring the Dignity of Georgetown for 22 years, to feeding the Poor, counseling the Youth, and Praying for the Soul of our GUYANA — YOU have shown us what PATRIOTISM without RETIREMENT means.
At 92, you still RISE. Still SERVE. Still PRAY. Still GUIDE. Still WRITE.
On behalf of all Guyanese at home and Diaspora, I pray:
May God grant you continued Strength,
May Bhagwan* grant you Peace,
May Allah grant you Mercy,
May Brahman grant you Eternal Light,
May Yahweh grant you Covenant,
May Buddha grant you Serenity,
And may Shango grant you Righteous Fire.
Thank you for holding Guyana together when it was hardest.
Happy 92nd Blessed Birthday, Elder Patriot.
With Deepest Respect, Love, and Honor,
A Grateful Son of Guyana
Your Brother, Dr. Shamir Andrew Ally
