Some of our leaders are actually taking pride in the killing going on in the country (Kenya). They are just ecstatic on their ability to decide when people should live or die. Lo, at the snap of their fingers they decree peace or war. They publicly denounce violence yet they silently incite the people. They agitate them to kill, and what they cant kill they loot and what they cant loot they burn. Like the predator these leaders delight in collecting human trophies. They only regret that it is not possible to line up human skulls along side other trophies in their houses. Theyre quick to report exaggerated figures to the international press. Is it in the delight of anyone to rule over corpses and cripples? To run an economy of mounds of ruins? Are justice, truth and democracy making any sense to the dead?
