High tolerance of politicians

You must have a vulture stomach sell to others, cynical promises of a better tomorrow, which will never come.

Every day we see these candidates, for whatever elected office they are, standing in the communities and giving their speeches, sometimes from the pulpit of one of those dilapidated public parks, with rusty playgrounds and puddles full of mosquito larvae, or near one of the unfinished health centersin which light is filtered more through uncovered ceilings than through lowered glassless windows.

They give cynical and calm speeches, many times, from the throne of some other shore a a public school, one of those with classrooms that they have no doors and that the windows have openings for beehives; with bathrooms that have no water and gardens where weeds honestly compete with tall grasses without pruning.

That crude cynicism of some politicians seem to have an admirable skill; Lying is easy, but telling it straight in the face with truths that prove otherwise is almost a feat. The saddest thing is that in cities we find an appetite for lies, for noble effects of devotion with hopethat they never seem to lose.

Faced with these scenarios, Creole politicians seem to be a circus out of necessity and entertainment, which reach to cities between drums and cymbals, announcement of momentary joys, travelers; joys that come and go, like a drink that passes and intoxicates, then turns to bitter gum when its effects wear off.

I can’t imagine it public authority, elected by the peopleshe can be peaceful in her marble-walled, sweet-smelling office, while outside, among most of her constituents, there is misery and want, lack of drinking water and decent schooling, lack of jobs and opportunities, abundance of trash and garbagein the middle of which the citizen is already used to living.

You can share the air, sometimes polluted or less polluted, some others; you can live in a neighborhood with people less fortunate than you, going through life with limited resources; can to establish friendship between people of different birth and different faith… All this can and should be done in society; but to openly lie and promise what cannot be fulfilled to the poor and the needy, with the intention of only appropriating their voice, this must not be done with impunity, because one day it will be paid for, in this life or in the Next.

If one lies innocently, as is done in magical entertainment medium, to give the little ones and the careless a little pleasure, after all, there is no harm; but if the incarnate lie aims at his own well-being, and at the expense of the well-being of others, then the apostasy of the man who does it has no limit and no limit that justifies it.

If they don’t pay, he said well, Will your children or grandchildren pay that as members of the attacked society, they cannot avoid its effects, which in the long run they manage to incarnate in one way or another.
