In Politics, Clerics Lost Their Decorated Image -By Abdulrahman Yunusa

Well, as they opined politics has made a sound and sumptuous provision for all, irrespective of class or religions all are to partake in the state affairs fully – that way clerics have been weirdly fooled by the men of power and wealth through lies, trick and material beings.

Having knowing the fact that people in our societies non among the elites has the audacity of enjoying the unflinching respect and fellowship, love and ultimate obedience from people other than Ulama – that makes them become useful and venerated to the eyes of the duo classes ( Bourgeoisies and prolateriats ). 

They are what they are simply because they are been seen as men of God or people who have vast knowledge when it comes to divine and supernatural matters for over time and as such, they enjoy such kind of exceptional social grandeur, respect and veneration as well from the populace.

Ranging from ancient times even in the Greeks and other wiser city states people in general become more submissive to their will, initially until the moment some bad eggs among them become more obsessed with material stuff. That makes the smarter class, wealthy and noble men to connive with them in order to achieve their mission at the detriment of the majority class which is the poor class. 

That was the reality of the past centuries, people have gone through such chaotic and suppressive era where clerics swiftly change their position from intermediaries with our creator to become a hunting dog for the monstrous folks called vicious leaders aiming to be involved in the state activities and also to be part of the upper class.

Perhaps, history had entails a lot about this very issue. It sprout the glimpse of change through psychological revolution of which we expected it through the advent of Democracy and which it later appears to be more dead system compare to the past practicing ones because therein pretentious features are filled to the brim and none is fully and duly observed. 

Similarly as the elites and the clerics of which today are seeing as the part of the elites class agreed to join and became intertwined in their daily affairs, the few individuals among the hoi polloi begin to understand the hidden motive behind their perfidious coalition which is both economic and psychological domination by the powerful class – then they begin with the game of ” withdrawal of trust ” against the clerics that makes the game more succulent, I reckon.

However, until when democracy comes the ones with orthodoxy theological view among the clerics began to fight the system for it contradict the tenant of which they are following religiously but fortunately for the elites they find some with corrupt mind who romance the dearly thinking about the outcome of their submissiveness to the class of Have, that’s to have their share in the treasury and of course they are having in an erroneous way.

That particular avenue both rulers and their agents of societal demolition maintain the gusto of their nuisances against the innocent men of such weaker communities. They gather wealth buy fake respect from the thirsty commoners with deceptive philanthropic policies and finally become unchallengeable using resources to own the law and the security collectively. Unknown to them time shall reveal their secrets and they shall pay the price of their unethical actions.

As the things keeps going perpetually via same tactics so the ones with bigger zeal and dream begins to make a move towards revolting against the tyranny of the said “Leaders ” but very unfortunate, they mostly dragged down by the men they respect and glorify immeasurably which are the clerics because if things persist the intermediaries too shall be thrown in to the thrash together with their secret allies politicians which are the architects of our mess. 

Nonetheless, as time goes on, when the elites realized that they have had the weapon of silencing the voice of the clerics through decisive application of money and threats, hence the ungrateful folks think they can continue the job singlehandedly without the contribution of the clerics. Meanwhile the game of class asunder begin to thrive among the two conniving class as the shrewd ones among the clerics will remove their hands and leave the game to await the subsequent actions of the aggressive masses.

Interestingly, the poor is left own his own without having pillar to lean upon except God, and yet he minds not revolt because he was once admonished by the fake clergy men that fighting authority is a grave sin, then that makes them to succumb any kind of subjugation helplessly though seeking divine intervention silently though time will pave them way to rupture the villains in the names of leaders through revolution.

Such scenarios depicted that the elites have gained a power and way of utilizing the clerics temporarily – meaning that only on the verge of poll or any social mayhem they can be secretly financed and cajole the minds of the gullible people to back the interest of the elites and yet they will be told that siding with the vicious kings or leaders is another door of enjoying a joyous future in the heaven, that effort will be abortive in near future I guess.

Gladly, until recent times when the game of gimmick and massive treachery began to supersede the IQ of the commoner with the help of globalization which came along with knowledge poor people embark to reason and challenge the leaders together interpretations of the holy scriptures rationally then things appears to be normal for some communities for even in the middle eastern world of which mostly are the source of the holy religions, they manage to practice it .

Although, the unfolded Saga that took place in Tunusia during Zainul Abideen, Egypt during Mosri, Pakistan during Almaududi and to some extent the European revolution history of Russia, China and the rest can be cited to back the argument with substantive facts, yet not in totality that the Haynes and the marauding beast are eliminated because of the purchasing power they have. So everyone I eager to pledge them allegiance to sip from their wealth. 

However, with the passage of time and by the virtue of knowledge today things as this ugly narratives on the lane of historical materialism began to drastically reduced as most of the gullible men are now developing interest in the affairs of the state and they are learning one or two things as well.

With that regards the glorification and blind fellowship the pseudo clerics enjoys become too little and as such the devils sucking the blood of the middle and lower class also begins to experience a horrible change because things are not becoming easy for them. 

And above all, both lost their precious and captivating look from the weaker or lower class they once madly raped and dominated in the name of selfishness and selfish interest.

Wicked soul weep at the tale end, that’s how life is.
