Are we who we are?
Aren’t we supposed to be heirs of democracy and justice? Have the leaves of
democracy withered and failed to photosynthesize for the plant, so that the
tree of rule of the majority crumbled into dust? And our freedom is auctioned to
the highest bidder? And we have become slaves of our own? That we are in a
malicious covert colony of our country by our political leaders? The demi-gods
raping our justice, and granting their power-thirst ability to rule
us? And control the media? And their swollen tummies insatiable of our
hard-earned leavened bread they are stealing from us?
Look around us,
if we are not subscribed to our fallacy and deceiving choices, a miasma of
tormenting tribalism and nepotism. Aren’t the same people we complained of
filing cases on bankruptcy of democracy in our national bank account the same
people we are donating our power-banks to charge their torches to light
darkness as they wait for dawn of their re-election to house of river of
flowing milk and honey? We howled with sorrow on the Goldenberg saga, we wore
sackcloth after the Post-election violence, we comforted one another on the
drama of the mysterious Eurobond saga, and wailed loudly on the NYS saga. But
still we hold the people who stole from us as our heroes and heroines. And
tomorrow the vicious cycle will go on, we will re-elect them. Can’t we
learn from all these? Aren’t we willing to sit down and take notes from life? From
our experience of the past?
