And Still I Rise

Off to the polls we go on Dec 7th.Thank God,it will soon be over and life can revert to some normalcy and not the madness that is taking place right now.It goes without saying that productivity is low since everybody is caught up in the election/party mode.You could see people stumbling to work on Mondays i.e if they even manage to wake up after attending the weekly rallies.Upon arriving at work a substantial part of the work day is spent discussing in detail the events of the weekend.This morning I went to pay a bill and the cashiers were so engrossed in discussing their party's chances in the elections that I was the invisible woman.

Then there are the talk shows which go on for ever and ever.They are bad enough with out election fever and in this atmosphere they have become doubly worse. From now until the 7th the campaign will only get more feverish and to tell the truth sometimes it is very humourous with all the picong(old talk).One feature of elections that I find amusing is the practice of giving burials to candidates who were defeated in their respective constituencies.These burials,complete with coffins and waxen images in some cases are elaborate events with the features of a real burial.Either way there are many funerals to look forward to on Dec 8th.

Last but not least when it is all over hopefully persons can revert to being friends.It may be a big ask given how heated a campaign can be but here's hoping good sense will prevail.
