Lost

I’m lost. If there are signs to lead the way, I don’t see them. Every morning I read newspapers, and everyday I see the disturbing pattern as the corruption becomes increasingly “trending” in this country. It’s the pattern showing how selfish the ones who corrupt the people’s money. More and more it involves those people you think you could trust, and elected to represent you. Ironically they were the ones we trust to run our country. But it’s naive, isn’t it, to think that you could trust someone, anyone, in the government? I couldn’t trust politicians. I have trouble believing their acts, that they do what they do for the people. Now, where are they taking us?

I’m a proud citizen. I want to be. I realize not everybody has the ability to run a country. I don’t have it. But they do, they should do. I honestly don’t know where they lead us now, I have no clue. I see the loss of focus, the unstructured policies, the lack of attention to the people in needs, and the overly attention to trivial that could raise their popular votes. I see chaos and greed. So, what’s the plan? What are they focused on right now, that they are too busy to improve, build, rebuild or preserve the infrastructure, the culture, the education, the sport achievements, all those we had been so proud of in the past? What are they concerned of that they do something about them? Poverty? Unemployment? Health? Security? What are their expectations that represent the expectations of the people for the next ten or hundred years? If they do have plans, expectations, and concerns, why it feels like we’re having the status quo? Are they doing what they should be doing? Or, are they lost, too? If I’m lost in this train of thoughts, they shouldn’t be, right? They should have the answers, they should be in control, they should be on the bright side of the road, leading the people toward the end, where the great things happened as they promised in the election days. They should not be lost. They should not be thinking only for a short term or too busy enriching themselves. Darn it. Who could be more naive than me to expect the ideal from our government?
