The Political Dream

I woke up thrice at night before this new day. I was sweating profusely especially seeing the same dream for the third time. I found myself in a wilderness observing a  people who lived happily & peacefully. They looked cheerful, courteous & content then, but they're hungry for more progress so they're  discontent or displeased with what they had & sought  more contentment for themselves in the People's Power structure.

In the dream, I saw Family Politics perfectly interacting harmoniously with Politics of Agriculture, Politics of Health, Politics of Relationships, Responsibility & Respect. From where I was sitting in my Village Republic Square, I could see Politics of Education, Politics of Class, Politics of Economics, Politics of Interest Aggregation, Politics of Creed, Leadership Politics talking & working with National Policies for Progress. However on the flip side, I saw Politics of Mischief  fanning the flames of Politics of Deceit & Intellectual Fallacies & Politics of Propaganda & Spin to the summit. And conniving with Politics of Selfishness, Politics of Greed, Politics of Who you know, the Big man & Small Boys & Girls  Politics, they exploit the ethos of Politics of Quality Governance, Politics of Ethics, Politics of Ethnicity & Politics of  Religion all in the name of accessing the ultimate haven of Politics of Powers. At this stage it is sad to report that Politics of Good Stewardship clashed with Politics of Values, Politics of Responsibility & Politics of Truth, thus  making nonsense of the essence of Politics of Equity, Politics of Dignity & Politics of Respect, which undermines Politics of Authentic Progress. I got angry at what I saw in the dream & before I could act or do anything, Politics of Insults visited the scene. I sensed it could get worse if nothing was done but before I could say jack, Politics of Intolerance with its cousins Politics of Indiscipline, Politics  of Threats, Politics of Vandalism, Politics of Violence & Vitriolic Attacks, showing up at the dawn of a so called Politics of Enlightenment. Then a whirlwind blew & mixed all these Political Ideologies, Politics of Promises & Partisan Politics  or Politics of Self Importance, Politics of Indifference, Politics of Insanity & Corruption, Politics of Strikes & Protest or Demonstration, with Politics of Cynicism, all boiling in an intemperate big pot of a so called democracy. I least expected that ugly accident yesterday dawn but I could smell it from afar. Yes! I saw Politics of Death visiting & I wept for our democracy. Must we kill or maim ourselves in the name of Politics?  I pray the Lord to help us all see the dangers in this my dream & direct us to do the things we've to do to return to Authentic POLITICS OF PROGRESS. So help us God. May God bless you & bless our homeland Ghana.
