Theatre House Of Errors!

Posted on October 17, 2021

Have you ever been so fooled and you know that you truly have been fooled but you’ve gotten no strong proof to prove that you are no such a fool? Let me chip in this before it skips my mind, his teeth shall be set on edge in the end, whoever sells gravel in the packets of grains to unsuspecting consumers. Aren’t they rampant in this side of the divide, making fooling others their full-time business?

Again, as my custom is, I will not spare any sphere of human life, the artisans, civil servants, ‘pulpiteers’, volunteers, politicians, professionals, traders (and I must mention market women, market men, importers and exporters). Let me just pause here in order to allow you too, to pause and ponder a little.

Did you think about the dangers, damages and disasters that our poverty-stricken society has experienced in the hands of certain professional miscreants, political swindlers, religious schemers, corporate tricksters and mischievous traders, who have, for their untamed hunger for filthy wealth, have made many miserable and have sent others to their early graves?

Aren’t you sick whenever you think of all of these, especially when it seems there is no end in view and the helpless people have been made to think it is what they must live with, like an incurable infirmity? Fake palm oil, fake sugar, fake drug, fake certificate, fake flour, fake politicians, fake followers, fake priests, fake parishioners, mixed fuel, mixed baby food… Excuse me, what is going on?

News of manipulations, adulterations, permutations, mutation, elimination, cannibalization, misappropriations, religious jingoism and political indoctrination, all bedeviling one sick nation! You are daily shortchanged everywhere you go: petrol station, telecom, bank, market, school.

You are being fooled and you have no strong proof to prove that you aren’t a fool. Isn’t this society sick! Someone should please help draw the curtain of this theatre house of errors!
