Our society is reeking in the corrupting pangs of social injustice and inequality. The ideals and values set on humane principles, which serve as columns for the healthful progression of the society, and social structures are fast crumbling into debris of filth – desuetude. The cohesive elements in the society have been obliterated and people with consciences attuned to communal bond, classless and egalitarian predilection are now hostile, separate and unequal. Intellectual narcissism and the corrupting influence of dishonest politicians and public officials, manic elitism and self indulgence, cancerous egoism, individualism and blind subjection, self worship and blatant atheism and renunciation of social values and ethical mores, materialism, greed and the lust for money and power have plunged the society into an abyss of low, poor, diseased, despised decaying masses governed by selfish manipulative conscienceless demoniacs.
Our arc proclaims in banal hypocrisy freedom and justice. Is there freedom in a society riddled with ignorance, cursed with illiteracy and visionless leaders? Where is justice if the instruments of justice is been controlled by few manipulative egotistical men devoid of conscience and pity, who thrive by corrupting and abusing, cheating and stealing, killing and destroying?
They trample on the rights of the poor, instigate vitiating policies to atrophy their humble visions and suppress their voices. They lock the poor and the vociferous behind bars in a bid to dampen and debilitate their spirits. They are thrown into insane asylums and vilified as rabid dogs. Writers who are pro truths and anti lies
Are hardly published. Their irrepressible voices expressed with ink on papers clamoring for justice are not allowed in the public domain. In these, the weak, the cowardly, the vulnerable is seduced by their capricious whims, or forced to compromise. The poor and the weak are thrown out of the social arena. He is relegated, demeaned, made to apologize for his poverty and squalor and condemned to perdition. To be judged by an extremely unjust and insensate god. To burn in an ever blazing hell fire!
Social inequity, class distinctions, racial superiority, tribalism, parochial mendacity and intellectual dishonesty is evident in the superstructure of our society yet we are constantly been bombarded with documents professing to show us that we are protected by a system in place set by governments. These mythical documents in the name of constitutions and conventions, laws and statutes which the citizens with which it was meant for knows nothing about the hypocritical fictitious articles that the betrayers constantly refer to. If anything, it justifies their meanness and suppression of the truth and destruction of the poor.
They are full of seemingly high-sounding ideas. They organize conferences and litter the media with fallacious arguments and fruitless deliberations on how they can bridge the gap between the poor and the rich. When none of them is even ready to adopt a single child on the street! They discuss and pledge to their diseased souls to initiate a policy that would ameliorate the sufferings of the masses. They concoct in their idle brains hypocritical policies of education for all but knowledge, opportunities, and privileges for few. They are distant from the masses. They who claim to be leaders, serving in the interest of the people, the society. They alienate themselves from the people. They cheat, dupe, manipulate, conceal vital information from the public, abuse power, amass wealth, corrupt, lie and plunge the society into dire ignorance, chaos and anarchy. They will humbly approach the people canvassing for support and pleading with the masses to give them the mandate to literally solve all their problems for them. They are apt to admit in hypocritical obsequiousness that the real power, the authority is in the hands of the people. Those who wield the ultimate power are the people. As long as the power they hold start diminishing, and it becomes imperative for them to secure their positions so that they can still continue to cheat and manipulate and enrich themselves, that is when they grow vociferous, singing resounding epithets and publicly admitting that it is the people who actually hold the power. When they delude the masses and eventually their cheating propensities and selfish ambitions catapult them to power, the real owners, those who wield the power becomes clear. It is realized too soon that the authority is in the hands of but a few treacherous self seekers. The masses are totally obliterated. They sink with their malleable interests and humble ideals into oblivion to resurface at election time. That is when they matter most.
When they assume power which no one actually endorses but their own inhibited lust to revel in servitude and to eat the crumbs of power that falls at the feet of the Whiteman mans table. No black man wields power. Real power lies outside the Blackman’s domain. Lobbying and ingratiating pleas to the Whiteman to be the mediators of the people. To be the link of manipulation and exploitation. To render and expose the land of the people to the Whiteman. They beg the people to give them their consent, their approval for their own enslavement. They lead the masses like sacrificial lambs to be slaughtered at the labyrinth of doom.
