Ah yes, it's that time of the year again when we declare ourselves as one united people. Because we are not blind, there's this disconnect between the ruling politicians & the people here. United people isn't quite it. Are we proud of our country? We most certainly are but we are also deeply disturbed (& markedly affected) by the things happening here; housing becoming more unaffordable, rising food prices & job insecurity (especially the re-employment situation) among others. The country's currency is also weakening lately & the current government is still running things by bogging the people down with dependence - you think those vouchers / cash disbursed are goodwill decisions? Using our money to pacify us. Oh, dear.
Happy 59th birthday to my beloved country. I have no obligations to love whoever's running it, just to be clear.
Thank you: Master Beez for letting me use one of his magnificent photos.
