General Public - Get Killed & be Happy....

Bombs, Shootings, Killings, War - this is is happening all around us everyday. All we see in the media is the disturbing graphic images of part of us (General Public) being killed and then various politicians starting from the city level to the federal level and then to the international level coming out of their well guarded mansions to tell us "Keep Calm - Everything is under control". All politicians face the flashing cameras to make different kinds of pre-written statements..."We shall defeat their nefarious designs and will not allow them to succeed. We are resolute in our commitment to fighting terrorism." says one and "We have lots of information but it is not proper to disclose it yet", says another. And we the general public keep believing them - we trust them every time. Every time part of us is killed - we have been asked to "don't worry" and we have been asked to "keep going on our daily routine without any fear". But security for our leaders will be beefed up - their meetings will be cancelled and rescheduled to take place at "more secure locations". We the public will still have to use the same roads, same markets and the same bullets. And we will once again trust our leaders to "forget" everything and "vote" them once again. We are General Public - we have very short memory - our minds are fickle - we forget that many of us have been deceived but once our leaders tell us to "forget, keep smiling and be happy"... we the public as obedient as ever yet again "smile and be happy" we once again take a bullet right in the middle of our forehead and forget it is for real there are no cameras, no flashes, no media...they will all come 'later' to count how many of us died and to talk to our 'leaders' who will once again talk to the remaining of us and tell them..."DON'T WORRY - BE HAPPY"...
