Spirituality devoid of character has no power to transform the nation

Do our leaders wake up to serve or to scam? There is more evidence of the latter. Yet they are all intensely religious. Of what value is their spirituality if it does not make them servants? They are the proverbial salt that deserves to be dumped and trampled upon because it is of no use however much of it you sprinkle.

The few who dare to cut a different cloth are lone rangers. They are intentionally kept on the backline. In the political song they are allocated the hum and never given the main chorus lest they belt it out in a voice so melodious it makes the "chosen ones" look amateur!
