Akash’s Letter To The Minister

Dear Minister,
I am a magician with words, but my tricks are seldom intended to cause harm, but often guidelines which you shall find of interest.
I indulge not in the shallow beliefs of man, nor am I an admirer of the administrative systems of the world. If you converse with me, you may assume me an aimless wanderer, but I assure you, I am neither aimless, nor ambitious, I am just a realist, an optimistic realist I might add. I have devolved the merest personal data which a necessity, to you, I must begin.
From my elders heard have I, that there exists a document of rules! And there exists a few bodies which manipulate and improvise these rules to the comfort of the community we call society. These bodies, these organizations, these little groups of people are the elements of concern! These few elements, these cults of corruption are my dearest concern! Dutiful of them it is to govern in accordance to THE LAW! Dutiful it is of them to govern in accordance to RIGHTEOUSNESS! Or so it is mentioned in this document of rules, which I have been told of. But why in all the vastness of the universe do these people do otherwise? Why do we live in a den clouded by the desires of greedy individuals? Change is needed minister, and hastily! I make not a plea to you, nor an order, but just an effort to aware you of the needs of your people!
And they are in need! The people of this world give confidence in hope of a better day to come, a happier story to tell, and a brighter future to look forward to! Not confidence to permit merciless corruption and inconsiderate governance! Governance! Despicable governance, constantly causing disappointment within society!
Materialism is a curse that is in need of destruction, not of support and acceptance!
I stamp it upon your head dear minister, even a lazy government is worth forgiveness, but never a corrupt one!
Have you noticed minister, that every morning you wake up, your first breath feels so innocent? But as you proceed through the day, like thunder comes upon you temptation, desire and ambition! An evil man shall fall prey to these games like a gambler falls prey to roulette! A lazy man shall ignore them! A good man shall challenge them and win them over! Doesn’t this remind you of the government of the day?
The men and women, fresh with a pure mind, enter office with great ambitions and honest purposes, but the evil of the world lures them into a path of maddening temptation! Why does the government of the day always fall prey to these games?
Are they incapable? Are they unwilling to accept the challenge? Are they greedy to settle for the satisfaction of attractive yet sinful temporary desires?
Tell me minister! I wish to know!
We speak of advancements and developments! We speak of moving towards a greater and happier future! But we still nonchalantly ignore the true needy! We still prefer cosmetic comforts over another man’s meal! Despicable!
We are the human race, painted by a divine artist! And like all splendid paintings, there is more to us than meets the eye. We are more than what we have become! We are a race which has misunderstood freedom for power and intelligence for pride!
Change is needed minister, and hastily!
The world trusts in you minister, and the majority honestly trust in you. The world is not a chessboard, it is a beating heart and you are the mind which governs every single one of its beats! You know that one can survive not without the other!
Millions wish for your end, but billions wish for a change in you! The end is not a solution, but change most definitely is! The power vested in you is holy, and misuse it you must not!
I seem like a rebellious young man with more of a heart than a mind, but forgive me minister! I am but a mindless romantic, with dreams beyond desires, and hopes beyond dreams.
