inan imaginary country

In an imaginary country lived a people known for their holiness.

By David Verveer

Let me tell you something about an imaginary small country that geographically is situated in Asia, consider itself European but tries to look like the USA. In this country, which we will indicate by the name "the holy land", the citizens are far from saints.

One of the many peculiarities (and there are many) of this country, is that the national police believe that their main task lays in finding reasons to put its prime minister in jail, not because he is such a bad leader or that his election to this high function was not democratic and fair, but because the democratic political game is based on throwing dirt on its leaders. When finally this dirt will stick (mostly because the accusations are some how based on truth) they bring back political leaders, who in the past, did precisely the same dirty crimes, but because being already for three years in the opposition, their deeds are forgiven, and even though, most if not all of the countries current problems were caused by those same leaders, now brought back to have another go in ruining the slow but sure progress made in the last 3 years, such as the fact that the country is running out of potable water, which can mainly be blamed on government budget cuts 5 years ago in establishing distillation plants (the holy land exports this technology to the entire world, and could have been self sufficient in potable water, if it would have invested in distillation plants, but no, the austerity program of the former regime, cut the expenditure of the government, or by such expenses as cutting more than 8 hours weekly of education, putting back the holy land kids in the 38th place of education ranking worldwide, with the highest poverty rate in the western world in the same time with the largest average of multimillionaires, combined with retired people, who lost their life savings and monthly allowance, but possessing the strongest currency worldwide.

This above mentioned former and now back coming politicians have been accused without acquittal of all financial crimes possible, including gathering illegal personal gains, but all this is now forgotten and forgiven, as now the current prime minister seems to have received envelopes filled with donation money (all this happened long before he became prime minister) from a peculiar American, whose motivations are still unknown, and if this is not sufficient, the same prime minister, now seems to have benefitted from murky deals concerning trips abroad, financed by more than one source, thus putting extra money in his pocket. When all this happened? More than ten years back, but now is the time to get rid of him, as he gets uncomfortably near reaching peace with the country's enemies, which would mean that the extreme right need to make sacrifices such as giving back occupied and stolen land, but as our holy land is in the grip of America, and financed by donations of good Christians, all in order to keep the settlers doing, what normal humans would call inhuman behavior, but who cares, holy land or not?

In this imaginary holy land country, the court of justice occupies itself with accusing one of its ministers, with the high crime of French kissing a girl on the mouth, but did not yet succeed in putting its former president in jail, as rapist and sexual miss behavior, compensating their failure by providing him with a generous pension and car with driver.
The police in this funny country have a difficult task of raking up political scandals, and have no time to deal with unholy crime families and new rich oligarchs, who made their money elsewhere, in dubious ways, and are under investigation by the Interpol, people who slowly but surely, take over the country, undisturbed by police or law.

This holy country (remember – imaginary) put up a huge feast celebrating 60 years of independence, while in the background, people starve from poverty, but the tourist trade benefited, something like the games the Roman despots offered the people, but an extreme stage was reached when inaugurating a multi million bridge serving a light train in the capitol from nowhere and back (a transport service which does not exist, and if everything goes like plan will not run in the coming 5 years),the celebration included the French president and his lovely wife and festivities that included a dance performance of children, clad in sacks covering their bodies and part of their faces, in order to preserve their (holy land) modesty. The above mentioned capitol celebrates every year their unification of uniting with nearly a million of people from another religion and nationality, that were forcefully annexed in to the municipality, but without giving them nationally, nor rights to live or built, but of course, when they show their disaffection with their new country and municipality, they are accused of being terrorists.

In this (imaginary) holy country, where people can not get married if they are born to different religions, claims to be the only democracy in the region and the torch of light to the gentiles, thank God, that this is only a imaginary fable, created by my sick phantasm, as such a hypocritical country can not exist, wake up, I am dreaming a night mare.
