The World According to... Vier

The failure of a country can be found in every corner of its governance, regardless of political persuasion, and in the case of our very own – a supposed democratic republic “for the people”, one may discover the flaws and lack of moral character can be found in the overeducated, overpriviledged, underintelligent, misinformed and misguided citizens.
The citizens of this nation are encouraged to pick a side in an argument, knowing what the topic is, but having not a single clue as what is either at stake and or what the details are – as placed in layman’s terms, as opposed to lengthy, duplicitous attorney jargon, which is made to be confusing purposefully for other attorneys who are indirect opposition to the proposal. These proposals are designed give those who possess the knowledge to understand them the keys – so to speak to the “short bus” driving the rest of the country. The opposition is usually left in those little rural bus shelters to watch the bus careen dangerously down a poorly built civilian roadway, paved with potholes and fat, lazy and overpaid union/parliamentary bought off to be apathetic to the bus driver and his intellectually challenged passengers who can not understand the meaning of caveat emptor, and cry foul when they are at a loss.
Ignorance, but at least we can vote!
And so it was that this year the people of this great land were coaxed once again into buying the touchy-feely jargon of empty promises of high ideology, while the public continued listening to the losers and the winners “mediatrics”, and left to wonder who in the world is right and what difference does it make.
In an era of “Hope and Change”, which seems more like “Demise and Repetition” have we not seen that these elected nobles and their posse of pundits are just the same administrative species pretending to be saintly caregivers for who they believe to be illiterate, incompetents, satisfied as long as they sit complacently in front of glitteringly sensationalized sexboxes made of greed-driven, perversions, just as their predecessors.
And I judge.
I am as full of blame as the preacher who curses an entire people in their tumult, casting the first stone in spite of his very own sin.
And yet we continue to vex and vilify those who oppose us, as though their words are blasphemous on the Holy Ground, and glorify a team of reprobates due to the colors that are on their badges, with no regards for consequences and reason. We refrain, if not revolt against a logic that was never taught; we are the artists who refuse to learn from the masters and are altogether apathetic to detail a sky that is centuries old, which we believe is falling though it clearly remains as unchanged as it remains uncertain. And we take the small red placebo from the left hand, instead of the enormous pill in the right, in spite of its healthful outcome, because the left is easier to swallow.
The driver remains on the road made shabbily by his own hands.
Are we a people who can not remember the past without being reminded of it?
I fear the answer is “no”.
