the election curse

no longer a right nor a privilege but elections are a curse. in the free market of ideas this one is the most expensive (or cheapest!) for a measly P500 , and in some cases, as high as P1,000 per voter, voila! done. over. you get the money. run to the poll precinct, write down the buyer's name and SUFFER FOR THREE AGONIZING YEARS! what the heck! we suffered for three centuries in the hands of the conquistadores, the zobels, the ayalas and those other not so familiar hispanic-sounding names. three centuries. three years. nah. no difference at all. elections are a curse. and i blame our elders for this mess. they started this bullshit. would have been better. would have been best. reality is... it's not.
if there's one right that I would never fight for till death. it's this fuckin' right to suffrage, or SUFFERAGE? no. Not under these circumstances. not under this kind of the country's leadership. not under this mediocre and corrupt political system. not under them...
two more weeks before we reach one of democracy's pitfalls, where all of us are preyed upon by political predators- all for their own self-preservation.
political abstinence that maybe it. but i will defend my right to choose not to vote to death. coz i never did, never do and never will believe in them. history definitely has something better to offer. more people best fit to lead the country to groom. it's only then will i give my vote its five cents worth.
