Of Collusions and Red Eyed Monsters

The week is just halfway gone and the drama has been epic. 

On the political front, our crafty, conniving and thieving politicians have been coalescing around ‘common goals and values’ and forming ‘coalitions’ as we gear up to the next general (s)election. Of course the different factions all have a common goal which is to rape and plunder the country when they get to positions of control. So what they have been doing is choosing the most compatible thief and the coalitions are just collusions between tribal chiefs towards shared vices guised as amalgamations between shared values. 

Tribe is the bargaining chip here and if you do not hold the promise of an ethnic voting bloc, your clout is minimal and the chances that you’ll be of much value to the main ‘horses’ are as that of laying a twilight girl on credit.  Mandarins that were on each other’s throats just a week ago are now tightly embracing and salivating at the thought of capturing power and ‘enhancing national unity.’ Anyway the electorate gets what it deserves and since we keep on (s)electing the same blood clot bagas and I can bet my little finger we will still do that again, let me rest my case. Hopefully His Imperial Majesty (HIM) will open our eyes and vote in the lesser devil from amongst the lot.

On a personal front it has been a good week and a half where I butter my bread as I have had the opportunity to discard my usual tools of trade for a ‘special adviser’ role on a new innovative product. It has been fun strutting my nutty self around helping colleagues and looking down cleavages at the same time (men can multitask of course) with no time-frames and schedules to adhere to. 

But of course when Rasta makes a progressive move wicked men (and women) are red-eyed and I have had to endure the scornful stares and bitching from some who maybe thought they were better suited for the role. Rasta is love though so I tried to execute the duties diligently to all and sundry given the basic Rasta tenet of ‘all are equal in the eyes of His Majesty.’ It’s all done now so back to my boring routine but in all things, thanks and praise to Providence is a must.

Rastafari Bless!
