NOT I WITH THIS TORN SHIRT They call here, Magnificent Province! Province of mud! Province of Flood! Plantation- Feudal Coast! Who are the magnificent here? Not I with the torn shirt but they in their white mansions by the trench of blood. I tell you this is no magnificent province no eldorado for me no streets paved with gold but a bruising and battering for self preservation in the white dust and grey mud. I tell you and I tell no secret now is long past time for worship long past time for kneeling with clasped hands at the alter of poverty. How are the mighty slain? by this hammer of my hand! by this anger in my life! by this new science of men alive everywhere in the Province! thus - are the mighty slain! Martin Carter. 1950s. Oh Guyana,
