I KNEW NOT OF POLITICS

I knew not of politics!

I thought being a politician

Means stealing the money of the country!

That was the reason why I appreciated my uncle

Who stole the country’s money?

Please, I repent. I was just very ignorant about politics.

 

I knew not of politics!

I didn’t know being a politician is not to bring war to the country.

I support the wars of 2013 and 2016 in my country.

People think I didn’t participate in them.

But I am testifying that I did.

I didn’t take a gun of course,

But words are more hurtful than bullets!

I joined some wrong groups who were fuelling the war with their words.

I just discovered that I wasn’t a politician.

 

I knew not of politics!

I thought being a politician

Is having a party and speak against other parties.

I chose a party and I could oppose anything from the other parties.

I thought also that being a politician

Means supporting your tribe men

Even when they are very wrong

I just testify that I was ignorant.

 

I knew not of politics!

I thought being a politician is being against the president.

I could speak any bad thing against the president.

I could just be in any group that discussed only the death of the president.

Our main topic was the sickness of the president.

I couldn’t completely appreciate anything about the president.

I just need to repent that I didn’t understand politics.

 

I knew not of politics!

I thought being a politician is having an opportunity

To corrupt the resources of the country

I know very many people who didn’t understand politics like me.

They steal and take the country’s money for their private use.

They think that the oil money belongs to them.

I pray they also repent like me.

 

I knew not of politics!

I could tell all lies about other people.

With my group, we could take the whole day,

Just talking ill of others

I could create all lies about the nation.

Someone can remember that people fought in 2013,

Just because of useless talks of some people

Who didn’t understand politics like me!

I repent I won’t do it again.

 

There are so many people who need to understand politics like me!

I request the people concerned should give us workshops

So that we understand politics and move safely to the election.
