The Vision, The Visionary And The Truth Bearers, By Aanena Elizabeth Jemitola 11

THE election season has come again.
Four years ago, it was like a game of musical chairs as we watched the candidates and the electorate bargain for the heart and soul of the honey pot.

Bonanza!!!!
Alas! Here we go again!!
We have the honest task of liberating our people and showing them the truth by educating them that their fleeting material gain is far removed from their long term collective right.
If we can get them to believe in the power of their rights, the Shackles imposed by the flash in the pan, righteous leaders, the resignation to their so called fate of 1, no way out’ 2, no hope for the masses 3, we have no choice, will probably break for their common good.
The loop of servitude will loose its hold, the scales of manipulation by egoistic elements will fall from their eyes, and the demand for our collective patrimony may just become a case in melody.
Regretfully, the bourgeoisie are more comfortable supporting the ‘status quo’
They love complaining about the state of the nation from their lofty heights, locations in London, Paris, Dubai and New York.
While some are protecting privileges and patronages from the oppressive ruling class, others for irredentist considerations or just a mere ‘I know him well, we hangout together’
The elites don’t vote much, the Proletariats do.
Some for the dream of real change others for primordial reasons.
I have heard women say ‘tomorrow na market day, I go cook soup’ so, a vote is sold in one day for four years.
Likewise some men would say ‘ I go collect o! cos after today, he will not pick calls’
Another vote gone the wrong way.
Imagine having a few conscious elites, actively interested in the future of their communities.
The truth is the effect will be huge because unbeknownst to them, their people have them on pedestals and if they are seen acting genuinely against their class interest, they can wave the magic wand and open the eyes of the people to real and effective change like a beautiful flower blossoming in all its possibilities.
Let the truth be told and Alas! Let us be free and be proud Truth Bearers.
You can not believe in the vision and not the visionary.
Mind your steps and watch the gaps as you follow the vision of the VISIONARY
Not all are destined for the promised land regardless of the promises they make.
