Hm, I come from a far away country which is the giant of all its kind…. This we always say, our slogan… The giant of all the blacks native land. It is a place where the angels love to eat nothing but only beans.
A land which has all in abundance, a land which flows with milk and honey. Should I talk about crude oil, coal, gas, bitumen or the agricultural produce. What about the location, topography,land mass, weather, international borders, human physical and mental ability and military strength.
Now let me face the fact,what are the benefits of the resources, ability and strength for us today. Where are they when the giant is falling? Wait,here is a question, “where was Goliath’s strength and squad when David defeated him?”
The giant has fallen and was torn apart by the angels who love to eat so much beans. No wonder a writer said ”widening and widening gear, when the falcons can no more hear the falconers, things fall apart and the center cannot be hold.
The angels which the new generations are supposed to copy today as good examples have all become the elements of accusation with little or no respect. The political, spiritual and traditional leaders which are supposed to support the giant to trace itself back to the track have all failed also just because of beans. Oh my God,what a shameful thing.
In my far away land where corruption, poverty, injustice, war, hatred, tribalism, nepotism, intolerance, envy, bias on the rules of law, negligence of duty, crime are walking on their two legs. A place where some local communities are still encouraging rituals with human blood in this 21st century. A place where the angels are above the law.
The 1970s were the years of abundance for the giant. I remember when I was growing up into the world of abundance, surplus, riches, security, happiness, joy and optimistic. Just like yesterday you know. I thought my land was going to maintain that standard just like every other country did in those years. Of course every kid was happy. It was the time we used to recite our national anthem and pledges confidently and with joy. That lovely national flag, the symbol of peace, love and unity became a thing of pride to everyone.
Surprisingly, there was a diminishing return, the happiness gradually becomes sadness, joy for sorrow, optimistic for pessimistic, security for insecurity, prosperity for poverty. Ha! Oh my goodness. Probably our demand was equal to supply, but that’s equilibrium point. Oh oh oh, perhaps we got to the peak of our taste and satisfaction quickly set inn, thereby we can no longer maintain stability.
Look around you,what can you say about the situationin this country you are now. Things are getting better everyday and I am sure it is better than yesterday. A place where all the citizens have hope, joy, happiness and security. A place of high value where a citizen is worth a fortune.
A country that has maintained to sustain and they obtained and retain.
No no no, the principles that caused our diminishing return are against the principles of demand and supply and consumers’ satisfaction or behaviour. In short,they are against any economic or reasonable principles. The angels in my far away country are just being over greedy, they lack good and sensible plans for future, the love of the land is not in their hearts like they used to claim. It is so disappointing that a lot of them do share my country’s national cakes within and save uncountable valuable notes in the hands of the international keepers around the world.
I remember one of the past termite soldiers who ruled my home country for many years under dictatorship system of government, he died and more than half of his valuable notes which he kept in the hands of other international keepers were no where to be found. The little that was found has no place in ledger account.What a surprise and big national disgrace and disaster. Can we say he was a good example in my far away land? He was one of the angels that feed on beans, how many examples should I give here. A lot of examples, but then, I am sure you know the rest of the story. But I do ask myself, “do they think the dead use these valuable notes in the grave?”
In 1950s,Crude oil was discovered in the southern part of my far away country, but today the same has become the blood of the devil. The same is our problem, regions fighting against regions, regions fighting against government and government fighting against regions. A lot of shooting, killings, kidnappings simply because the government fails to perform its duties to better the lives of the people. Imagine the source of a country’s wealth,the life wire of a country is as worst as a rotten wood. A life wire becomes a life to be wired.
In the 21st century all the sensible angels are planning for the future of their citizens and the next generation. But it is a pity that the angels in my far away country are yet to discover themselves.
Which way are we going? Why did angels leave what is right for the sake of beans? The people that are supposed to tell the practical truth with authority and respect have been presented some well decorated packages of beans. Oh my God, what a national coincidence, disaster, disgrace and shame.
Look at what is happening to the giant’s citizens all over the world today, atrocities here and there. We cannot count the numbers of those that are serving in foreign jails. What are the angels in the so-called giant of all the blacks native land doing about that? A lot ran out of the so-called giant because of internal problems,such as war, tribalism, hatred, humiliation, condemnation, persecution, injustice, insecurity, religious crisis and many other worse reasons.
Whenever I remember my fellow men that died in a course of fight for justice and liberation, those that died in a massive military attack, the innocent blood that was shed due to political and religious crisis and encounter and those that were swallowed by the Mediterranean sea just because they want to save their heads and look for a better life in Europe.
Wait my friend, what has the so-called giant done about all these devilish events, hm, the angels are just eating beans. The beans that are supposed to be for everyone, they divert everything to family heritage. And yet they open their mouth to say we are okay, everything is under control and in order when everyone is boiling, yawning, crying in agony of lack, hunger and poverty. Ha! Suffering and smiling has become the masses facial mask, trademark and logo!
We are fighting the processes of eating beans, we are fighting the processes of eating beans every day, that is the tune of the music. They have never won. Wait, is it possible for evil to fight evil? Can the angels that gather together to eat beans still fight against one another? Well, maybe when one claims to be wise, but I do not think it is possible because they have a hierarchy system of sharing. You see, poverty alleviation has changed to poverty elevation.
No freedom of speech, press freedom are restricted to a certain level, no freedom of expression as they claim we have them in my far away land.Who wants to talk? I bet it with you, if anyone does, he may disappear within 24 hours. That happens under my far away country’s political system of government. Hm, political system of government or political yabis of government. Maybe one day someone will do and still stand I think. But for how long?
A country that has lost its values,i ts youths are scattered all over the world today, how can the center be hold? Wait a minute, Shakespeare said “who can be wise, amazed, furious, temperate, loyal and neutral in a moment? No man!” So the center cannot be hold. They rule, they cheat, they kill, they destroy, they abandon, they neglect, they misbehave, we will only have peace when they go. They must go and power must change hands. Enough is enough.
If you are reading this today, it is not to make you laugh. It is a call to challenge all the wrong doings in our various far away countries. Let us stand the course of time and learn by examples and everything around us. Believe me, some people fought for the freedom of this country which we are presently. And I am sure we can do the same in our various countries if only we believe and determine. Remember that determination determines realisation. Whatever a mind can conceive, a mind can achieve. Also, try to remember that history will forgive those who try and fail, but history will never forgive and forget those who because of fear of failure did not try. He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.
Surprisingly, up till now in our far away countries, I mean your country and my country, they still share our national cakes. Your cake and my cake, the cakes that are supposed to be for our general use. The treasures of our heritage. A national emblem that shows we belong to a society as a confirmation of our citizenship in our individual countries. The pride of our heroes, the meaning of being alive, our national security and recognition. Look at it, we were forced out of our land.Our father’s land,we were forced out of our possessions, our belongings, from the land we loved and cared about so much, the land of our birth! Oh my goodness,what a national disaster in our various countries. Think about this my friends. Believe it or not, even the angels still eat our beans in your country and my country.
