THE POLITICS OF CAUTION

Not having done what needed be done

In the presumption that there be a force

They leave their desires and decisions prone

To the very element of choice

The words they say when such desires

Do not come to be what they aspire Is

Maybe! Maybe!

Maybe that was what God wanted

Maybe I was never meant to have it

Maybe my thought of it was wrong

 

These and many more are the debates

Of the parliament of the lazy, the Ignorant, the mediocre

Who seek not the will of the Force,

But constantly force out the heart talks as if they are the Force’s

 

Privileged was I as an observer

In the parliament, the company of our constitution’s preserver(s)

The constitution of destiny, the essence of living

All say ‘ney’, All say ‘ye’

Some say ‘ney’, some say ‘ye’

These are the slogans of consent in the parliament

All played so well, the politics of caution.

 

Honourable Desire addresses the house first on the intent of Mr president— THE INDIVIDUAL. He speaks well of the intent and focus of Mr president, but as much convincing as it was, such is the practise of the politics of caution, parliament of decisions, the need to debate on the validity of Mr president’s intent. The motion of Mr. President ‘I support’ said Honourable Foresight. His excellency the speaker of the house, Mr. Will speaks— is there anyone in this parliament that negates the proposition of Honourable Desire, let him or her speak with facts. At the silence of the house, all thought all was well and that an ‘all ye’ was inevitable, just as the speaker raises the gavel, there stood the ‘ney motivator’ Honourable Mediocrity with a stance that commanded the attention of the house.

 

“Mr Speaker, fellow hounourables

All protocols duely extended through the tables

I speak negativity, not because it’s my nature

But because everyone has a pleasure

Of these pleasures of ours come different cravings

So has mother nature done these things,

Seated here also is Honourable Desire, who takes defense of Mr. President’s intents

But some things may be good but not appropriate.

If Mr President indeed wants things done,

He should do away with the necessity of Chance

I rest my case.

 

Almost immediately, Honourable Reason stood saying: ‘we should also know that as much as we are considerable factors of the actions of Mr.President, we are very much subjected to the approval of the 3rd Citizen of this nation, Mr. Will, our very own Speaker, let us hear him out’. Mr. Speaker speaks, I say thank you to this honourable gathering for your recognition of my prominence, I want everyone to know that, Mr. President’s actions are a product of our decisions here, and I implore us to remember we are very much here to support him, not because he would naturally need us, but because this is a politics that nature would have us play— the politics of caution, the necessity of checks and balances, the evasion of regrets where possible.
