Right here. And it smells of sulphur still today.&#8221;\u00a0 He had ideas for taking control of the Caribbean region and defying what he termed, \u201cThe US empire.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 It could be imagined that if Chavez could sing before the final curtain \u00a0he might have chosen lines from one of the most covered songs in history which was adapted from a French song titled \u2018Comme D\u2019habitude\u2019 and\u00a0 rewritten by Paul Anka and given to Frank Sinatra to record under the title \u201cMY Way.\u201d\u00a0 Chavez might have sung,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegrets I have a few,<\/p>\n<p>But then again too few to mention<\/p>\n<p>I did what I had to do and<\/p>\n<p>Saw it through without exception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">But then he would pause for there is much he did not see through.\u00a0 Ideas like ALBA which is still a work in progress, relieving poverty in Venezuela which is still astronomical in this oil rich country, his ambition to be the head honcho of the Caribbean basin and even to control the outcome of elections in the region using oil money to back his favoured candidates.\u00a0 In Waitikubuli the promise of cheap fuel through Petro Caribe is a pipe dream and his promised coffee plant is yet to appear and the standard of living of our people which he had promised to elevate is still down in the basement.\u00a0 But this warrior would quickly counter with, \u201cHalo, no excuses for a champion, my replacement will complete my work.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 But can Maduro fill the giant shoes of such a man?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">The death of Chavez should be a lesson to all leaders that immortality is reserved only for God.\u00a0 Chavez stood taller than regional leaders not in height but because of his unbelievable force and will to pursue\u00a0 his vision beyond just merely dreaming of winning the next elections.\u00a0 There are those in Florida that celebrate joyfully \u00a0his passing as they saw him as a posturing bumbling dictator who squandered \u00a0the country\u2019s vast resources, driving away investors and any he did not favour in his quest to make Venezuela a model socialist State.\u00a0\u00a0 The fear of the mighty capitalist societies was that he would take the rest of the region with him as governments with no clue as to how to make their islands more productive would jump on his bandwagon and do his every command just to get money handouts as our own guys have done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yet in Venezuela millions saw him as a saviour and one on the side of the poor and returned him to political power every election day.\u00a0 The fall of such a personality is certain to be an historical event and for those who depended on his largesse very worrying indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Our Prime Minister has dutifully declared a period of mourning for a friend of our island and seemed to be emotionally overwrought at the passing of the man he called, \u201cFather, adviser and friend.\u201d\u00a0 He has ordered a Catholic church mass which I suppose is to pray for the soul of the departed, and though I am not one for a mass, I wonder whether it would have been more meaningful that while he was struggling to defeat the\u00a0 terminal cancer to have a whole lot of masses and prayers then while he was still alive.<\/p>\n<p>The reality however is that Chavez has gone \u00a0at the relatively early age of 58 and died\u00a0 without having been sworn in \u00a0after the last elections to be President once again.\u00a0 So now what does our government do?\u00a0 Hope that the new \u201cpardner\u201d\u00a0 will be a father, adviser and friend to our PM?\u00a0 Or will this death teach us that in the end we must learn to swim on our own.\u00a0 It is time to pay attention to our God-given resources and how effectively we can use them.\u00a0 It is time to stop placing round pegs in square holes simply because they sing the party song most times so unaccustomed to it that they screech out of key.\u00a0 It is time to appreciate that we have much talent both here and in the Diaspora and to provide leadership so as to use that wonderful human resource for the good of us all as we struggle toward real independence.\u00a0 It is to be hoped that our PM can see beyond his tears of\u00a0 sorrow for his friend today, rise above the partisan posture so that we can be not so shaken in the future by the death of a foreign leader but stirred up to enthusiastic fervor about our own march to development and prosperity our way.\u00a0\u00a0 Otherwise we will be stuck declaring days of mourning for \u201cfathers and friends\u201d \u00a0in China, Morocco and wherever else.\u00a0 The song, \u2018MY WAY\u2019 ends with very interesting lines;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is a man what has he got<\/p>\n<p>If not himself then he has naught<\/p>\n<p>To say the things he truly feels<\/p>\n<p>And not the words of one who kneels<\/p>\n<p>The record shows I took the blows and did it my way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Though Hugo Chavez did not finish his course and he admitted that himself when he implored God to give him more life to complete his mission yet what he was able to do he did his way.<\/p>\n<p>Christians believe that there will be a resurrection after death so perhaps we might meet Chavez again someday.\u00a0 In the words of William Ross Wallace, \u201cEvery man dies but not every man lives.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Whatever you may think of the policies of Hugo Chavez of Venezuela \u00a0none can deny that he truly lived.<\/p>\n<p>Rest in peace from your labours Chavez\u00a0 warrior politician.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Though most of us figured he had not long to live once a seriously ailing Chavez was returned to Venezuela from Cuba
