pre-election

when did i grow so old? was it yesterday? was it last year? was it five years ago? when did i stop thinking like the crowd and saw things differently from others? when people saw the scum on the surface, i saw deeper. further. insight clearer than my elderly? how is that possible?

we are at the cross point of our country's journey. 48 hours later the deed will be done. to jump from the frying pan into the hot fire, what will the consequences be indeed? for once i am glad that the defending party will be taking unscrupulous moves to defend their position. how many of us can bear the consequences of 5 years of chaos or even standstill. to not progress will be inevitably to move backwards. look at apple and you will understand.

i am no way advocating for the defending party. who will stand behind the devil and call himself virtuous? there is no such thing as a good politician. but perhaps the lesser of two evils. we know the one who calls himself lucifer, we are familiar with his ways and what he is capable of. with that we know who we should be and how we should move. with that we can plan and anticipate. but the other, who is every bit as much the devil as the other. the one who everyone is running to in the name of change. we know nothing but lies. every single word spewed has been a lie. and yet to him everyone is running towards for comfort. what lies in the empty cavern between their ears i will never begin to understand. the desperation that lies in their eyes so great that it drives them beyond logical reasoning, i shudder at the thought. the mania in the congregation, irrational in their calls for all except the solidarity bleating for change. change. change. that is all they want. for better or for worse, i don't think anyone really cares at this point in time. isn't that scary? when rational thinking ceases, emotions run high and actions are governed by nothing more than a need for something different. 

everyone is displeased. no one is happy with either. why has no one stood up to start a new generation, a new alternative, a new avenue for us all. a party irrespective of race, age and classification of any kind. isn't that what we are all hungry for? all talk and no walk, that is the mantra of our age. that is our vulnerability.
