The unprecedented political upheavals and revolutions that have been raving the global political landscape are indications of a new world order. Interestingly, those who are unyielding to the clarion call for change shall be taken unawares by an opaque swaging sledge hammer. And even if they escape the wrath, it shall await them on arrival....
We are apparently, heading to something too simple and easy to understand and resolve with relative ease. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be waiting for some people somewhere to do the needful without thinking of what is expected of everyone. The people who are suppose to take charge are rather engrossed in the spree of global-cum region brawl simmering, and they are equally duplicitous in thinking first their interests, before rescuing the ugly situation. Perhaps, we are all not sapient enough to think that what goes around will NOT come round, directly or otherwise.
Indeed the time has come for all and sundry to have one voice over, regional, continental and global issues, especially, when we all know that the ripple effects of these uprising and chaos are multifarious and indiscriminate in their effects. Today's political leaders have chosen to live with a culture that can be aptly be described as "Let's see how far it would spread" and then take a last minute step to either intervene, glean the benefits or do the little we can....
We had better lend our voices before harm, instead of crying over spilled blood, which we had every opportunity to safe.
