I
observed the reactions/participation of Vincentians during the election
season with foreboding and great apprehension. I'm left with no doubt
that as a people MOST of us are NAIVE, GULLIBLE and POLITICALLY
ILLITERATE.Evidence of these manifested itself in the way the two
leaders of the two mass political parties were/are exalted to god-like
status. It was crystallized in the LENGTH these fanatics are willing to
ridicule themselves in defense of their demi-gods.
Accusations
of sexual miss-conduct leveled at an embattled PM were intercepted,
blunted and rubbished by politically-crazed supporters as sacrilegious.
Not to be outdone, the Opposition Leader's supporters went to ALL length
to defend, protect and conceal all unearthed flaws of their flawless
leader. Where is the objectivity? Is independent thinking an endangered
practice during this "foolish season"? My GREATEST area of concern
is the consummate ease in which our RELIGIOUS LEADERS have undermined
and sacrificed FUNDAMENTAL religious values/principles in an effort to
lie in bed with these strange bedfellows. How can CHRISTIANS who
professed to be followers of Christ get hitched in these unholy romance?
No wonder GOD vents HIS wrath through Mother Nature who continues to
unleash its fury with increasing regularity in SVG. Unfortunately,
SVG continues on an unprecedented downward spiral created by a senseless
political divide. This malaise has caused families to be torn apart,
churches to be ripped right down the centre and colleagues to become
competitors. But, there is still hope as can be gathered from my
following (three) post-election recommendations. 1. I STRONGLY
recommend a Prayer session for ALL elected Members of Parliament in a
designated worship place of GOD and NOT in a man- purposed institution.
ALL CLERGY men involved in this solemn session MUST be TRUE servants of
Christ, devoid of ANY political affiliation. 2. A second session of
divine outreach/intervention conducted by at least SEVEN Clergy Leaders
with the Prime Minister-Designate. These clergymen should be free of
political baggage.This is highly recommended ESPECIALLY in the likely
event that the incumbent is re-elected to office. It's obvious that
the embattled PM is unable to confront his MANY personal demons which
continue to impede his better judgement and undermine his legacy as a
great leader. 3. Vincentians MUST take the HOLY season of Advent to
reconcile and atone. It's a herculean task given the chasm that has
been created. The seemingly "unmendable" bridges can only be fixed
through EARNEST and FERVENT prayers! Whatever, the outcomes of tomorrow's polls, please let's accept the wishes of the people since SVG belongs to ALL of us. ONE GOD! ONE AIM! ONE DESTINY!!!!
Reports reaching CUHCREATIONS is that the mother of voter who registered to vote in the constituency of NORTH CENTRAL WINDWARD (Dr. Ralph Gonsalves area) went to the POLLING STATION yesterday to check to see whether or not her name was on the VOTER'S LIST only to be told by one of the clerks there that HER NAME IS NOT ON THE LIST. Her son contacted me last night and shared this information with me. He suggested that he will CHECK ONLINE to see if her name is there. FORTUNATELY HER NAME APPEARS ON THE ONLINE LIST BUT FAILED TO BE ON THE LIST AT THE POLIING STATION.
Something is FISHY here. Please alert the SUPERVISOR'S OF ELECTIONS about this as soon as possible!!!
