IT'S COMMUNICATION!

  "What we've got here is a failure to communicate." So spoke a corrupt and brutal man with power over those incarcerated within the prison he oversaw. A small man with little to speak of, placed in a position of power over those who cannot fight back, and who takes advantage of the situation to do his worst, all the better for his ego and self-importance. 

Unfortunately, these types of officials who matter not much and add less than that to the benefit of others in the world, are in the position of primacy these days and hence, the communication is negligible, if at all. And further hence, that is the underlying reason for combination of such that has the world chasing its tail, with nations competing for the "Biggest Bag of Hot Air" award. Much to our regret, the harm caused by these oh so little people add to an aggregate sum which threatens the world and world order.

These small, brained creatures resemble the dinosaurs of old who maintained order and ranking by using sheer size and weaponry available, that which came with birth. Those are our supposed leaders of today who use what they have, brutality, meanness, greed, influence and money to fight their way to the top, using all as steppingstones and paying no never mind to the trail of destruction and tragedy they leave behind.

These people are the scum of the earth raised to power via circumstances and lack of understanding, attention from the very ones whose lives are at stake, and even apathy, either not caring or having given up hope of better times.  To combat these combined deficiencies is difficult and unfortunately, the ones whose stars shine brightly in such times are the very ones who should have been thrust aside but are not.

Hence, welcome to the world of today, where the intellect of the leaders is limited and diluted by a lack of decency and by overwhelming desire to gain and hold power, influence and accumulate great wealth and attain longevity in office. One of the saddest moments is when a former leader of greatness and achievements forsakes it all and grasps with greedy hands and nasty mouth onto his/her power and their self-interest and refuse to concede to the truth and go out with a proud legacy left behind, one that will live through history. 

Now take a stroll through the ranks of our world leaders and then go back and reread the first sentence of this posting and all that follows. Is not that the truth? These leaders are not leading at all, unless into perdition and danger, into hopelessness and a future tainted with danger and loss, lives denied the advantages and benefits of the best traits of humanity, which are instead derided and denied room to grow and flower.

If we understood where we went wrong, we could hopefully restart the world where that was a well-known fact, a world of goodness and sharing, where we can acknowledge that we are one, no matter how small the divisions we artificially introduce. 

Those divisions indeed foster the lack of true and meaningful communication and instead build walls where there should be none, dividing where there should be unity, where we finally have internalized the fact that while the possibilities are infinite, nothing good will take place unless we truly feel the need to share, to seek justice, to shun hate and prejudice. A world where equity is not a term to brutally misuse but a word of true meaning and righteous application. 

Will we ever see such a world, for till today we have not yet been so privileged. We need to work harder, to actually feel the necessity of this truth. However, when looking at leaders, at the results of recent elections and upcoming ones, well, despair can make a highly visible presence within societies plagued by the ugliness and mistrust, and total lack of communication, either on purpose or by circumstance. 

Politicians who refuse to change, who think that by shifting a word or two promising that which had been promised before, yet never achieved reality, will be excused, and their incompetence, and the danger they pose for societies round the world, must be removed from positions where they make ever more permanent the worst of society, the worst of leaders, and the worst present and future of the world.

Until that happens, we, the people of the world, will never achieve what we must if we are to create a positive outlook and a better level of achievement. Without true effort meeting success at improving   communication amongst all the peoples of earth, with truth within the words, well, same old, same old. Much to our distress.

Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.

Is it not time to reach for the stars rather than remain in the muck?

Let us talk with each other rather than at each other.
