Democracy
says slay the dragon.
I say slay the dragon slayer.
Slay
the one who propagates hate.
Slay
the one who promotes division.
Slay
the one who pretends that the problem is other people.
Slay
the one who presents himself perfect.
Slay
the one who perpetuates civic ignorance.
Slay
the one who prevents the dissemination of truth.
Slay
the one who perverts goodwill, character and peace amongst diverse communities.
Slay
the one who pants after fame, fortune and real estate.
Slay
the one who prefers vainglory for vainglory's sake.
Slay
the one who prizes fabrications, open lies, and shameless half-truths.
Slay the
one who praises himself above all with zero self-reflection.
Slay
the one who preaches the gospel of personal success over the success of the
personal gospel.
Slay
the one who preys on the opposite sex, belittles them, disrespects them and
treats them as instrumental to his narcissistic ends.
Slay
the one who prays before the crowd with pharisaical zeal just to get their
attention and votes.
Slay
the one who prattles on endlessly on the most frivolous over the most
superficial.
Slay
the one who passes the buck, finger-pointing at others but himself.
Slay
the one who patronizes his own kind and performs just to impress.
Slay
the one who pilfers the people by denying them their tax dues.
Slay
the one who pinches pennies from the poor to give them to the rich.
Slay
the one who poisons the well of racial harmony and unity with unfounded
threats, prejudices and fears.
Slay
the one who professes one thing, back-peddles on others, and does the direct
opposite.
Slay
the one who prostitutes virtues, provokes rebellions, and prospers only
himself.
Slay
the one who perches himself at the top of the pyramid of self, demanding to be
admired, praised and adored.
So
I say again...slay the dragon slayer and not the dragon.
For
at most times, they are imagined dragons.
But
the dragon slayer is not.
He
is real.
He
lives amongst us.
He
hails from high places.
He
is set apart from the common folks.
He
preaches from his ivory tower.
He
promises to be the savior of all.
He
is not imagined.
He
is not a figment.
He
is an opportunist.
He
exploits for self-gain.
He
makes up the dragons.
In
order to...
Keep
up the mass delusion.
Remain
in power.
Retain
blind allegiance.
Reinvent
a metanarrative of false hope.
Receive
all credit unto himself.
For
at the tip of his sword,
Is
not the blood of the imagined.
But
it's the blood of the people,
For
whom the dragon slayer had spun a legend.
Alas,
the world doesn't need more dragon slayers.
Surely
not those that slay imagined dragons.
The
world however needs more than ever to have the dragon slayer slayed.
For
the dragon slayers are the real dragons to be laid.
Cheerz.
