There comes a time when the past shall hold the truth. It is not tomorrow because they say tomorrow never comes. But it won’t be long. When that time comes, the neglected graveyard shall hold the past. And the truth shall spread like a walk through town unfolds some most intriguing finds. In that single moment, the wanderer shall adjoin the adventurer; their eyes shall meet and the truth shall weigh down the deceiver.

Since they say that nothing lasts forever, not even gods can preclude this apocalypse. The economists who seem to be ruling the world also share the same sentiment through the theory of diminishing return. Even animals understand it. A goat is most likely to turn back and face its pursuer as the last resort. The holy books sanction such moment when circumstances inspired the meek to rise up against and defeat those reckless impetuous irresponsible people.

It is not that the rich shall become poor, but the poor shall also become rich. In that moment, richness shall become relative. And everyone would be fighting to become poor again. When that time comes, no one would be afraid to die since the graveyard is now believed to hold the past to truth. Death would then become an emergency to alleviating their sufferings. It is the deceivers that would be afraid to die since the truth is in the graveyard.

Rhetoric and patriotism - two dawdling lyric that had hoodwinked many souls - will be less captivating. The purpose of their soulfulness will be too strong to cajole further. And they shall rise. And they shall ask who killed the pen? Who murdered the genuine orator? Who put to death the woman in the street? Who stamped out life of hope? Who authoritatively enslaved their social nous?

They would not only ask but demand things about to free them – at last. Tribalism and religion that had been manipulated to servile their thinking will not work. For such moment shall repudiate the darkness that had forbidden an honest answer. And the tenacity in their eyes shall shock the world. And that day shall be the beginning of respect for these people who have been constantly maligned throughout the world.

On that day, hypocrisy and sycophancy will be buried with the remaining lunatics who had run away from the graveyard. There would be chaos but steadfast understanding. Some will think it is the revolution they have been chewing like kola nut. Those who have had premonition about this moment will not think along that line, for they know it’s more than overthrow of a government.  It’s even more than a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving. Perhaps it’s simply a way of expression that the world has never witnessed. But it shall be clear what they want: to be human beings.

It is not that they are not human beings. They are quite all right, but the lunatics have all along been treating them worse than animals. They want to live. Those who had run far “western continent” want to return where they would be protected from racism and other prejudices. They want to be proud and they want a life for their children – born and unborn. It is what had inspired their brutalized souls to take this giant step. They want a true beginning. And they know for sure the best way to achieve such feat is, to wipe out the marauders.

And it is the hallmark of this another D-Day. The wisdom to know that the burying of the lunatics is just the beginning is essential. These people shall work against all things that had previously destabilized their existence. They must get started faster than imagined, especially immediately the vultures had been eliminated completely without a trace. Mutual respect for one another is also significant. But they must not spare the false democrats in their midst.

It should follow with a genuine conference in order to truly getting started. There shouldn’t be much problem since by now these people must have understood what it takes to build a proper house. The death of those lunatics should have opened their minds to honest implementation. They need one another as never before. They need to build the new house on truth and trust – two things they had allowed to consume the past.  These people do not have to remain GOWON. The most important thing at this juncture is absolute good intention. But they must sit together and reflect. Nothing shall work without it.

Things ought to be in place now since hypocrisy, sycophancy, tribalism and other isms have been successfully eradicated. About corruption and greediness, all they need do is this: embrace the opposite of what was in place before this new era. For example, they must worship hard work and shun cacophony of get-rich-quick. Let them celebrate only those things that inspire nation building. They must insert in the new constitution a stiff penalty against corruption. For instance, a corrupt official should be executed along with his family. It is harsh but…….

And I woke up – again. And I sang my sensual song.

# 2 What a beatiful, lyrical and poetic description of our condition, or which other country would be refered to, but our dear ninja. However as the author as beatifully written it's a graveyard for the lunatic, unfortunately for now, the ruler(as we don't yet have leaders) hears no sound apart from that, which is music to his ears. But the day is fast approaching when he would be forced to hear, see and do something about the condition of the Lunatic, or else the Lunatic would have to justify why he has been turned to a lunatic:mad::mad::mad: Posted by Jagunlabi| 02.05.2008 11:10
