ZAMBIA HAS GONE TO THE DOGS

THE PF has retained power, but how they will govern remain to be seen. Yet again, its citizens are in a state of decay. We are at a position in which morals have diminished.

These elections will determine the future of our troubled country in terms of tribalism. New victors will emerge; the defeated will be relegated to the dustbins of history.

We must remember that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. It was Thomas Paine who said: “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”

Family structures are breaking down together with the cadres that grounds children as they grow. Political structures seem to be even more powerless to produce good laws and government.

Morally, we are weightless. It’s no longer an issue to lack integrity and not tell the truth when it comes to politics. Character assassination, lying and twisting the facts to make political gains have become the order of the day.

We are seeing the shift towards zero morality in religion, where both the sinners and the sin are equally condemned. And forgiveness is nowhere to be found.

The world is slowly sinking into a pit of selfishness, hatred, bigotry, as well as violence, which permeates our culture.We NOW resemble the Roman Empire when it crumbled and was forgotten.
