Trying to inspire

Speeches were by heads of state to inspire the people but these were mere words. We are being threatened by foreign powers at our borders in the East and in the West, and its not time to make excuses on 'why we are doing so well' It is highly disappointing to hear these 'uncommitted' leaders. Economically we are not doing so well. The ordinary people have to pay high prices for food stuff, and other basic necessities. With no savings, how can the citizens survive? Those who do survive are those who have made money the wrong way, those with businesses which do not pay tax, businesses which evade policies and businesses which exploit the workers. WE were giving hope taht Food Security Bill will erase poverty and that computerization will magically solve every other problem. Can it? That the free mid-day meal will continue and that we won't poison children again was an excuse. That the flood situation has affected many and that we mourn for the lives lost is another irrelevant statement. Speeches were on all current excuses on current happenings. So we are a nation who specialise in making excuses" May be the young will learn from our mistakes and not be like us. With politicians who get away with accepting bribes how can we do well? Such politicians make speeches with crocodile tears. These are wolves which weep when the sheep get wet in the rain; they do not care for the people, but act if they were crying. So where is the nation heading? All the arguing in the Parliament stopped when we heard news that our not-so-friendly neighbour violated the ceasefire norms repeatedly several times. 'We have got to something mood' was there. We are a peace loving nation. But if we are pierced like this we will take steps which would make us not to love peace. While our foreign minister is giving statements on why he had to change statements, one of our submarines blew up in the docks. Eighteen lives were lost. This is big set back for our navy. We will rebuild more ships, we have to. When our national security is at stake, all of us unite.
