THE VOICE OF MANKIND

The Quamire of the Past, the Promise of the Future
By Mankind Olawale Oyewumi


This discloses a deserving discredit to words and silence, actions and inactions tailored towards our ruin as a race: our proper anticipation in the noble place of creation dishonour-worthy shenanighans masquerading as path-makers dedicatedly blockade with the diabolical objectives of their self-suturing strives.

A planet programmed for abundance and peace honours its dwellers with hunger and splits its components into disillusioning tenements of disappointments and trauma, forcing immortal agony and organised destruction into the veins of hopeful collective redemption.

Our religions rinsed the earth in moral derailment. Our learning lent its charming status to the unglossy attributes of injustice and capabilities of societal advancement inalienable to dysfunctional knowledge and permanent to unsound education. Our history is a ruination onto the essence of ideal annals, present a confusion of crime and purely unpleasant plunders, and future a blatant reconciliation of terrible misanthropy devoid of slightest mercy with imminent perchefferment.

Disguising the wreckages they had caused the human family in the world's well-being and total loyalty to secular rites and religious duties, they quenched the purposeful rebelion of morally active millions and engaged the multitude's feeble weaknesses in the most unsparing, wickedest arsenal of eternal quagmire.

Hiding their ample evils in the sqalour-valour of discombobulating socio-political and economic conducts, they muscularised their plan to enrol us all in primordial pogroms while citing the love of countries, commitment to the cause of general human freedom and diligent adherence to the observance of useless creedal doctrines--- whose established mission is to confuse and divide the undividable genus of Homo Sapiens; they pullulated the spate of their rapes upon our welfares.

Groups' and organisations' banners portrayed pleasantness of thoughts that brilliantly replaced the autocrats' and fanatics' profiles of oppressively and repressively violent and fruitless legacies. Men and women of God, like the believers in formally institutionalised visions of wonderful promises around the globe, gaol the goals of their calling and substitute shameful self-ingratiation for the cleansing of the generic Augian stables. The gracelessness of their latent intents divulged the deception they styled in moral manifestoes.

Excursus of exciting excuses on why earthlings are miserable, poison the writers' pens; polluted the records of reconstruction bids and decimated the invisible architecture of change-challenges, because the reason typyfied a customary errecting of racial, organizational and national prejudices - an unpromising collapse of universal dreams which our dangerous brands of perpetual non-action and insufficient actions had diligently digged deep.

In consequence, races gagged the guts of races to assert some empty worth inconsistent with ethical taste and absolutely ambitious to their finite energies. Occupying the dishonourable filth of their historical oppressors, free men saw the germaness of their strength in the subjugation of peoples in love with peace and dignity - investing an empire of superb terror with superficial honour.

For hundreds of years, wars ensued among totalitarians of varying moral toxicity. These wars occured, not out of their basic thirst for humble freedom, but out of their great greed for fellows' jugulars through the unholy scramble for their resources and power.

After this era was vasectomized, pretentious righteousness through renewed social sins filled the indecent thrones of foreign economic and political dominations. The filth extended to sports, culture, education and religion. Dissatisfied groups, nations and sects found fulfillment in seeking to force the human project to an abrupt end through their dead silence, theatrical words and selective terrorrism.

Criminal crusaders and wayward warriors detected solace in false crusades for social sanity and senseless wars of unethical colourations against oppression, larvishing treason against reason to install the earth some efficient infrastructures of proper pains. In removing evils, they adopted the styles and practised the traditions of evil manufacturers and marketeers, instilling connivance upon the pussilanimous minds of unsure sages.

Today, the trend is exacerbated. Millions earn poverty in struggling for survival. Hundreds of thousands daily die in preventable diseases and sparable frustrations. Worse wars surround our space and those we think should help profit from the wreckage! Nations we trust will grow above country love to lead the race of man to unity and fulfillment kite the baloons of segregation and intimidation!

But still in this indefinite hopelessness, our collective mind is faithful to the assurance of blissful tomorrow. Courage of courage will plead our cause; Strength of strength promises an independence from the furore that engulfs the family of man. We may have failed, but our hope is unalloyed. To the saving hope of one world that disentangles itself from the iniquities of history and the negative adumberation of the future to forge and put the visionary vision of samaformism and humanism to practice, which lord it over all ideological "isms" we salvage our tragedy and deposit our treasure.

In unison: Africa and Asia; South and North America; Europe and Australia shall motivate the confidence of every minimal component on our planet in the viable trade of staying and going together. The world shall be happier! The powerful shall assist the impuissant, without manipulating the detiny of their existence to regional or organisational advantages. The strong shall aid the weak, while they reserve the unwritten right to create and pursue their own purpose.

The black shall forget their enslavement, the white shall win their love; the faith of the Orients and the religion of the Occidents shall discover sense in the wisdom of peaceful existence; the Jews shall become the Germans' companions and the Palestinians part of Isreal; the satanic ideologies of "profit at all cost" and "power by all means" shall abandon the feature of our enterprise and politics, not merely upon the pages pretty papers, via unbiding pacts, but in the living conscience of our trustworthy sincerity.

The world is not evil because seasoned destroyers are influential and active, but because robust scholars and true humanists are disorganised and passive. In our questionable silence and moral faults, not in their evil mission, lie the cause of the world's tragedy - for when reformers sincerely sneeze against fauxpas, no deformers survive without repentance. With one informed kick which our collective vision for a greater humanity guides, ages of their deceits and fraud will be lifeless in their ill-acquired paradise!

Therefore to those men and women whose humane heads accept my thinking with appreciable nodding I apply for greater collective actions - we have a lot to do together to improve the world, beyond the reading and applauding of one another's writings. With those organisations and nations whose moral and kind tenets graduate beyond the bias of patriotism, sectionalism and terrorism in unusual enthronement and encouragement of humanism and samaformism I seek an urgent collaboration.

You and I have an axe to grind with powerful but supine fellows whose good reasoning and godly religions; whose noble ideologies and unblunderous phylosophies stipulate disunity, hunger and disaster for our species {http://groups.yahoo.com/group/samaform}.

Whether humanity lives or dies, her weird woes shall end, and a replay of the human drama, based on just justice and godly principles shall dominate the hormones of her nature. These are my grandest wishes as a humanist, our greatest faith as samaformists, and fondest desire as leaders and members of the Sacrosanct Mankind Forward Movement, SAMAFORM {www.africaservice.com/samaform}, a forever advocate of man's collective survival, glory and fulfillment.

Henceforth, our reason must be rinsed in the rhapsody of rare but enduring general reform on our planet. Our force may be small but our purpose is noble. Our arsenal is minimal but our desire is great. Mortals with noble purposes defeat oppressions; men with great desire build empires.

Evil won't reign forever, but what is just takes eternity to manifest. Therefore as we live on earth, we must dissipate our energies and exhaust our potentials in the gradual building of a happy humanity; so that someday, generational efforts shall culminate in collective salvation.
