Hey you man itey, poly ticks, once and only post.
I have avoided talking about the politics like a plague in social media. On really rare moments where my head tilts to the side to reread if the crap I read really existed, I just had to. I digress. Yesterday's results had me worried, posts that scared me and my future in this country. Today's results gave me room to breathe to be patient with the mindless drones that post insensitive drabble about the candidates. Haven't they had enough yet? Obviously no.
Watching the feeds on my wall made me remember why I hate humanity. They would wish you dead without really thinking about what it meant. Vicious, spiteful creatures that don't even do their research at all! No care for fact finding or making sure their sources were even credible. Talk of change, but really, I know a lot won't. Their arms have to be twisted first. Will, broken. Why it would take another person for you to change your ill ways is really just an excuse to make you feel better about yourself. Or be part of that SOMETHING you think is SOMETHING. Maybe both. Or you're finally enlightened....with a flame that will probably last 4 months after dur candidate swears as president. Because it's hard to break your old ways. But in the next coming months, let's see how much people are willing to bend before they feel they compromised something they don't want to. None were ready for discipline a few elections back. Are we ready for that now?
But the loyalty of the people supporting this one candidate makes me hope, even a little, for humanity. You see, this one candidate displayed the best hand one could show during an election. No secret deals to fund her campaign. An amazing track record in public service. The only one of them recognized for her skills internationally, so much so she held (holds?) a position as an International Advisory Council in IDLO. So outspoken, with undeniable passion for her duty as a public servant. A former judge-elect in the ICC. No one else but her, the Iron Lady of Asia. The one who saw that the future of the country is with the youth and stood with them as she declared her bid to run for the highest seat in the government.
And those that believed her never left her side. No other candidate could question her track record, her character, her awesomeness. No one dared to. Not even the runaway winner for President. She chose to campaign in colleges than the streets. She's not about to bother motorists that way. She chose the youth and what they will stand for in the future, for the country. For our country. And I know she inspired a new generation of people. One hopes they remind themselves of what she stood for to them as they embark on a new journey outside the walls of the classroom.
The greatest president my country never had. One who is more than qualified for the post amongst the other candidates, placed last in the polls. And it's a hard pill to swallow. It's a blow to your chest when you realize too late that the choice was not that hard to make. She's the logical choice. But people in my country are rarely the logical type.
We don't owe it to powers that be when we elect leaders. It is you, humans that cast the votes, not supernatural beings. Your guidance, be it spiritual or whatever; you are not someone else when you cast that vote. At the end of the day, they choice would always be yours. Unless a knife's held under your throat. Or a gun cocked and aimed at your temple. But no one's doing that to you when you decided whom to vote and when you've slipped the paper in the machine to make your vote count. Religion has no rightful place in politics. Don't mask your hidden agenda with the decision from the heavens.
