Ashamed of the political elite

Ashamed of the political elite

From Neraca

At the beginning I was proud of the contribution the political
elite had showed to the country. Your speeches always suggested
that you worked for the benefit of all people. You struggled in
the name of the entire nation.

However, my pride in you has disappeared, and I am now
bewildered, knowing that all you voiced was nothing but an empty
promise. The people were lulled with false promises as there was
always vested interest in what you did.

You have been preoccupied with activities for your own
advantage, and paid the least attention to the people's interest.
You are now blaming and elbowing one another aside, completely
forgetting the real meaning of the reform ideals initiated by the
students and the people.

Please, stop all the jokes, and help people to get out of
difficulties and problems of life.
