Politicians steal from us, so why does my vote matter?

POLITICIANS make deals with unscrupulous, rich business people and take from the public coffers willingly, so why does my vote matter?

Your ministers openly fight with each other in both provincial and national assemblies, like spoilt children, so why does my vote matter?

Your guilty crooked ministers are shifted from one portfolio to the next to avoid accountability, so why does my vote matter?

Your minsters fall asleep or sometimes don’t even bother to go to work, so why does my vote matter?

Your ministers openly avoid accountability to appear before public inquiries to answer for their crooked actions, so why does my vote matter?

ANC, DA, EFF, Cope etc you are all just pigs at the same trough, feeding off the necks of the poor and middle class, so why does my vote matter?

You will eagerly switch alliances for God knows what pay-offs or incentives in metros at the expense of serving the public, so why does my vote matter?

You lie, you cheat, you steal and you imagine yourselves to be selfless and good leaders; delusions of grandeur is all you are good for.

Politicians are the worse thing this country and this world has to deal with.

You love to patronise us by what has become nothing more than empty lip service in the utterance of the words “Your vote matters”. It only matters so you can have a job that by all actions and accounts means nothing but taking for yourself. Long gone are the days where politicians served the public, instead of themselves.

This planet will only start healing itself when we get rid of the systems that abuse it. That means politics, economics and religion, in no specific order.

When we take ourselves out of those boxes that indoctrinate and enslave us, only then will we be free as humanity, only then will we stop abusing this planet for our own sake. The problem is that by then the planet would have decided to get rid of its greatest threat, which is currently humanity.

Politics has created mistrust and abuse of the public purse, economics has created wide divisions between rich and poor, religion has created hate and animosity between human beings and more walls between brothers and sisters. Such must and will fall and become extinct – it’s inevitable. Gustav Lindemann Tamboerskloof
