Take all and leave none, is a line in their pledge. Destroy more than you build, is a stanza in their anthem. Timbers and calibers; a community of vile and evil. Men and women who are mean and wicked. They are the rulers of this world. They are leaders in top organizations of the universe, both known and secret. They are in cultures, religions, governments, societies and streets. They are one and the same; the same agenda, different settings. They pretend to protect the people, but prey on the people; for they are predators. Because of them, the people pray day and night; in darkness and in light.

“Non vivimus edere, sed edimus vivere: We eat to live, but we do not live to eat.” Every person has a different perspective and unique preference; thus, different tastes and teams. They want to lead the people, but do not have the best intentions of the people at heart. By ballots or bullets, they struggle to succeed. If they succeed, celebration; if they fail, chaos. They must take power no matter the costs; after all, their families are safe. When the ignorance of the people is being played, the people praise the same politicians that punishes them. Ignorance is an illness. Without the poor, nobody would be rich; without the rich, nobody would be poor. The society that sows segregation, gathers in the same congregation. They are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, relatives, friends, husbands, wives and children of the society. We know them, and they know us.

The culture of vultures is the battle of power, from the people and over the people. The essence is dominion. The powerful must preside over the powerless, to protect and to prosecute. With authority to exercise and execute orders and others, the leaders of the world do the exact opposites of people’s expectations. Time over time, self-aggrandizement is their sole purpose; for they make policies to favor them and not the people. The police protect the rich and persecute the poor. Freedom of speech is for the silent ears that listen and don’t tell; for once a just voice is heard, violence shall befall the just. The culture of the vultures is dynamic and deadly. The same people with similar intentions, divided into different parties; but in unity. Whichever you choose, you still choose the same. They know, but you don’t know. Consequently, the society suffers from itself. People can feed on anything to feel powerful among other people; but alone, they feel powerless. Culture of vanities and vain personalities; who prefer power to people. In a society where people can do anything to be great, greed is not a choice but a necessity. When survival of the fittest thrives, the weak hardly fits in; but suffers till death. If the governments cannot govern the people in godly and goodly manners, of what good is their existence? If a king is not wise, he should never be allowed to rule.

Cult and church are in unity, for the preachers are also predators; preying on the people. With words that flow like waters, the gullible swallows all the sermons hook, line and sinker; but still remain drowned in stupidity. The contemporary problem in the society is that people don’t ask questions anymore, for many rely on the answers of the past. Contrary to general beliefs, events change, but not people. The same people yesterday, today and forever. It is a sorry case that many live in the past, while the present perishes in their presence. You can never change, but you can change the things you do or how you do them. Progress comes from problems that were solved. Thus, if a problem remains unsolved, progress remains unseen. A lot of people are working so hard to sustain and succeed, but the society they are in keeps making their efforts seem like wastes. The same preachers that preach to the people are being paid by politicians, to keep peace and avoid protests from the people. How does a lost soul lead one to heaven?

Silent battles wage wars in different souls. Thus, people live in fear and die in silence. How can there be freedom, when the oppressed cannot be allowed to oppose the oppressor? How can you be free, if you don’t feel free? Why do people suffer in silence and still smile? Until people put aside their pretenses, their preferences shall never prevail. There’s power in numbers, but a lot of people are numb. Nobody wants to speak, for fear of being slain; but everybody can’t be saved. You cannot be sane if you are not safe, for even the insane is not immune to insecurity. Running from harm, doesn’t keep one away from harm. Many want to stay good and don’t soil their hands; but they suffer from the bad ones that reap, with or without sowing seeds in the soil. Beloved, lift yourself up, because the aim of culture of the vultures is to keep everybody down. With voices down, violence stays up. You can never be safe and sound, if you don’t like the sound of the drum. Hearts shall beat faster than beats, when the beasts besiege homes.

 No one is safe in a society, where both the just and the unjust co-exist in silence, in the face of injustice. The predators shall prey, but one day, they shall be preyed upon. Time is all it takes, for a generation to say that enough is enough. After frustrations come aggressions. Till thy kingdom come, violence remains the only voice that violence listens to; for peace comes after war. A government that doesn’t care about the wellbeing of its citizens, is nothing but a rotten guava. If the policies are not in the interest of the poor, why is the politician there? Development is not based on the number of convoys that the president goes around with, but on the comfort of the people. The more a society breeds contempt among its citizens, that society cooks a rebellion against itself; a dangerous disaster is destined. The same people that hail during elections, wail after elections; because predatory politicians unleash poverty when they get the power. The essence of politics is power, and when that power falls into the hand of the wrong one, nobody and nothing would be alright. Complain as much as you like, the vultures are with dead consciences; criticisms are like commendations for the evil they do. The more the people cry, predatory politicians celebrate; for they know exactly what they are doing.

Vampires! Men and women of the night, causing nightmares in darkness; but with the light of the day, they turn to virgins. Satan by dark, saint by day; the devil is deceitful. Passed down from generation to generation, the culture of the vultures sees mocking misery as a virtue; with no vice to their vile. Who is that soul that smiles at the suffering of others? What manner of man enjoys profiting off the pain of the poor? Such a man is not crazy, but very cruel. No empathy for another entity; a deadly and demonic soul. The vultures struggle to lead, so that they can have the power to lead their people astray; dead or alive is one and the same option. Take note of this: till the people rise against persecution from the politicians, they shall neither have rest nor progress. Vultures benefit from violence and virus. Thus, they make the place insecure, and benefit from claiming to secure the people. Liars that lie awake at night, and dream about the evil they will do when day breaks. Dusk till dawn, nobody is safe from these vultures. Smiling faces and suffering souls are all over social media, claiming sanity in insanity; suffering and smiling sheepishly while the society sink.

Dearly Beloved, believe in God and yourself only; then reason the beliefs of others thoroughly before you believe. Words are like waters, and they flow sweetly from the mouth of the serpent. Beloved beware; not everything out there is real, for people sell fakes and people buy fakes. Life doesn’t get better; you only get better. If you don’t upgrade, be ready to be underdeveloped. It is alright to be mean in the face of menace; for if you don’t take a stand, you risk losing your stance. Your destiny is truly in your hands, be careful how you handle it. The best way to fight vultures is with violence, vendetta or vengeance is verified; for the deaf can feel violent voices without the help of any device. Democracy is not a dream, but a demand of the people; for the people deserve it, to develop themselves and their societies. No democracy, no development!
