A Noble Duty To Resist Civilly: A Day Of Emancipation Cometh

By Nana Yaw Nokware
A Noble Duty To Resist Civilly: A Day Of Emancipation Cometh

For all the misery we have gone through in the hands of our rulers.

For all the woes we have grappled in vain to cure in the hands of our rulers.

For all the inferiority complex foisted upon us by our rulers.

For all the perception of nonentity brought upon us by the opulence and extravagance of our rulers.

For all the poverty and its related bedfellows, we have suffered in the hands of our rulers.

For all the fears and intimidation we have gone through in the hands of our rulers.

For all the loss of identity, we have suffered from the hands of our rulers.

For all the socio-economic depression suffered in the hands of our rulers.

For all the psycho-economic depression visited upon us by our rulers.

For all the socio-political depression undergone under the supervision of our ruler.

For all the justice denied us by our rulers.

For all the opportunities taken from us by our rulers.

For all the insatiable greed and avarice displayed by the ruler in the midst of wanton poverty and deprivation of the oppressed.

There cometh a day when a breath of life will be injected into those who have endured the calamities initiated, conducted and supervised by our ruler.

There cometh a day when a mighty hand offers help.

There cometh a day when a great respite is served.

There cometh a day when all that was taken from those who endured are given back with compensation.

There cometh a day when vengeance will be given us and we shall take it with readiness and a sense of pain.

There cometh a day when the rulers become vulnerable and the long-oppressed become strong to take vengeance.

There cometh a day when the ruler is stripped off the protection of the unprofessional military and party-based goons(paramilitary).

There cometh a day when the rulers will plead for magnanimity but would be given none.

There cometh a day when the ruler’s plea for mercy will reach the heavens but no one offers him, by that time the act of vengeance has reached its crescendo and it is irreversible.

A day cometh when there would be no room for the ruler to escape the pitiless storm of a hungry and angry civilised mob.

A day cometh when the depressed would have the opportunity to take their pound of flesh.

On this faithful day of vengeance and payback, no blood will be drawn but the oppressor stands to be decimated by his own mental concoction of egotistical superiority and over-bloated ego.

On 7th December the monolithic non-performing insensitive selfish capitalist clique will be defeated by unarmed forgotten and alienated civilians.

There cometh a day when the umpire to the pugilism would have no option but to declare the oppressed as the winner of this struggle of life due to the inevitability of the defeat.

The avenue where these entire spectacles will occur is in the ballot box where the ruler is left alone to survive against the 30 million oppressed.
