VENGEANCE IS MINE
[The Indefensible Case of Revenge and its \
THE spirit prevailing in the nation today isn’t the right one.
Hosting sodomites and their kind has now become the norm.
It is not a holy spirit.
It is a dark one.
It is the spirit of poverty, pain and suffering.
Nearly everyone, even in the UPND, is heavy-hearted and sad.
Kachasu distillers, instead of being viewed as nascent SMEs, are being forced to drink their own purportedly poisonous brew, and are having their factories destroyed by the Republican President’s men.
Digital money banks, commonly called booths, veritable SMEs/traders, are now seen as an eyesore.
Fixed, citizens are gnashing their teeth.
Tizamuona, with tears in their eyes, they are saying.
Instead of celebrating the few millionaires that we have, and endeavouring to create more as a nation, today, under the guise of fighting corruption, we want anyone with ka-something to be on the run.
Envy has become our national fuel.
Today, we rejoice and dance at the suffering of another citizen.
We are filled with joy when we inflict untold pain on another.
Why?
Schadenfreude has become today’s Zambia.
Instead of easing the suffering of the citizens by lowering the cost of living, and so improve their livelihoods, we are doing the opposite.
Lying has now become the norm and scientific, single-digit this, single-digit that.
Hakainde HICHILEMA, with your own mouth at Community House, you told the whole world that President LUNGU was safe.
Tell us, my man, did you lie?
Aren’t you aware that President LUNGU and his wife are one?
What kind of Christian are you that seeks to divide them?
Which Holy Bible do you read, Hakainde HICHILEMA?
Haven’t you come across the admonition about hypocrisy and that vengeance belongs to God?
Dignify the presidency, my man.
Leave President LUNGU alone.
RB is watching you.
Africa is watching you.
Oh, yes the big one, God is also watching you.
Do NOT revenge otherwise God’s favour will depart you.
Do unto others as you would unto yourself.
Or are these the seeds you are deliberately planting for your own end?
Trust me, my man, your end is coming.
And as you make your bed so shall you lay in it. Do NOT make a bed of thorns.
It is by securing others that we secure ourselves.
When we seek to punish others, we succeed only in punishing ourselves.
There is no peace in tormenting others.
Only suffering for the tormentors.
The country today is filled with the spirit of disquiet and gloom.
And the source of this negative and divisive force is our own State House. This then is the new dawn.
Empty your heart of the bile you carry, my man.
Heal.
Do NOT lie.
Learn from Boris JOHNSON. Give him a call if you can. Lies can prematurely end your reign.
Here we are Father, weary and heavy laden; we cast our eyes upon You.
Heal our land.
Something isn’t right.
And everyone is feeling it.
