GOOD BREAKFAST, BAD SUPPER

Someone has rightly said that hope is a good breakfast but a bad supper. Our nation is a live and vivid example of this saying. The people of Pakistan have been lured by the politicians, military generals & feudal lords for the last 60 years. Every new general election or a military coup gives us a new creed of hope. We recollect all our optimistic speculations to believe that the new reign will provide us all the basic necessities of life like shelter, food, job & security. Last elections are an example of how our politicians play with the feelings and problems of the people to gain petty benefits. In these elections, people gave their verdict by giving a vast majority to anti-Musharaff forces i.e PML(N), PPP & ANP because these parties gave a new hope of better future as a good breakfast to the “Simple Simons” of this country. Expectations were sky high; people thought that the new government will solve all their problems with a single stroke of pen but Alas! Every dream ends up in despair but don’t worry our dreams are not worthy of benediction under the rule of Zardaris & Musharaffs of this land. After its establishment, the new government tried its best to defy all the traditions of public welfare. The escalating prices of gasoline, food items & products of daily use show that our politicians have learned nothing from the past. The real administrative problems like the abolishment of “Devolution Plan” & the “Restoration of Judiciary” are still are in the pipeline. Excessive & unsolicited use of national exchequer by our politicians is a major source of nation debt. It’s a matter of great dismay that we are losing Pakistan with every tick of the clock and the resentment of general public is on the rise. The good breakfast of hope has become a bad supper of resentment & it is all because of our burgeoning evil desires.
