The story of Callender is a comic romantic tragedy of moral inspiration. What is life? When this question counts an answer means little. This is the tragedy of our times and of a society, which is unconcerned with wisdom.

An instinctive longing to discover and explore is frustrated by a collective indifference of a society to the spirit. Art has come to be understood barely only as entertainment: a satisfaction of desires, to enthral and transport to another life, an addiction, a master of appetite and taste, an escape and for those, who cannot escape the walls of its existence, a useless folly and wasted passion. If a society could not understand the tragedy of watching a master artist go bankrupt, and through divorce to suicide, then how could they understand the meaning of their economic subjugation?

They could not understand why a middle class Barbadian would be visiting prostitution hostels in tiny back streets and hovels. Then to be using crack: it electrified the mind of the press moguls to present a well-calculated fraud of his death. Barbadians are so notoriously willing to sacrifice themselves that they accept the notion of dying for your debts: to be bankrupt, to be without any money, is to die.

It was a lie the press kindly acquiesced in doing: truth was that to be without money is to be cast out of the fold. That was the bare economic necessity of the truth. This is the lot that Barbadians share; without God all are fallen and of course their god is money. Thus in Concerns Concerning the Cocaine Culture no high-level drug baron was interviewed or even considered in passing. Who were they? Whose family? What history? All this was ignored. The society was trained in the repression of the individual for years.

To become a slave to a drug is an effrontery to their pride. The cocaine culture slowed down after it appeared that anymore of the drug would lead to social rebellion - it deprived too many too fast; it was too noticeable and destabilising of the social milieu, and a different deal was struck with the Drug Cartel. A revolution was continuing in the Caribbean countries under the umbrella of crime, corruption, and bribery: political power was co-existing around instances of cabals in a ruling elite: they jostle for a power of position and prestige, as they rule like gods over the common man.

The idea was that a class was engineering a giant publicity campaign called Dope Inc. This is a lasting epithet of a drug culture. Knowledge is important, an argument goes, only if it can be used to get a job, make money, enter university or gain a promotion. It is a means to an end and a temporary tool, which we use while pursuing a greater pleasure of life, otherwise it is nonsense.

Pleasure such as love, marriage, friendship, and work, are the real subjects of our desires, not any knowledge of anything in itself. It is assumed that knowledge must be put to use for something; that knowledge is for power.

It is disconcerting to most people, however, to think just the opposite, that knowledge is not a means towards an end but an end in itself: that knowledge is power only when it is for wisdom.

This is wisdom that most know is behind the saying but this wisdom, is for the most part, seem as useless and understood in the course of life but quickly discarded when the pressure and fear of a humdrum existence that arises in the early maturation of an individual. Young artists, dreamers and lovers put their green days behind them in their twenties, and leave unanswered a desire to know all things or certain things of their childhood.

He was recovering financially but too much damage had been done to his bad heart. On the evening of October 12th he checked himself out of hospital where he had spent three days under cardiac observation.

That night he collapsed with a heart attack while watching a video. He was rushed to the hospital and a doctor on duty in the casualty refused to perform C. Thousands of people, who read and viewed his work, are enjoying art of a man who was deprived of the right to prosper from his talents.
