a new dawn...eh?

Ahh...a new Prime Minister. Welcome the new and goodbye to the old. And old is very subjective. Thank you for them good deeds. For them bad that should not have been done and them good that should have been done, history will judge.

And we'll all be judged. Was born when the first PM was still the PM. Remember the radio got nothing on but rendition of them verses from the Quran when the second met his Maker. Don't know much about the third. Or what he did for the country. Nor his son, except for changing education policies maybe. The forth came to office as I left me state for another, to pursue puberty. And oh boy, he did stayed some, that doctor.

Maybe the fifth came to office in the wrong era. He could be a swank PM in them swinging sixties. The country was poor, where there were little chance of money politics, where illiteracy and family togetherness was fairly common, where awareness anything except for them psychedelic drugs were unheard of and where his love for them arts would make him swing some. And most important of all, there wouldn't be that monkey on his back. In the realm of the internet and information superhighways, and with advisers so out of touch with reality, and stupid media like TV3, he's just asking for trouble. Despite all his promises, despite all them things he wanted to do all those, which seems like many thousands moons ago, when he came into office on a silver platter. It's too late now.

Lessons are meant to be learnt but life and of course politics is one motherfucking son of a bitching whore. Maybe The Most Powerful is just stating the obvious, and maybe laughing at our faces even. We can plan all we like, we can lobby for eternity, we can bargain for votes, we can set up a new party, we can try to change our race, or sexual preferences if possible and we can bitch till kingdom come but if He Says we're doomed to be jerks, we'll be just that. A nation of jerks.

Hopefully the new Prime Minister can prove them doomsayers wrong. For him and for the memory of his father. And for us all.
