When the Real Lion Arrives
In every corner of our land, a painful cycle repeats itself. A ruling party comes to power, fills its pockets, and forgets the people. The opposition shouts, blames, and waits for its turn. When the chair changes, the story is the same: looting resumes under a new banner, and citizens, tired yet strangely forgiving, adjust to corruption as if it is “normal.” Worse—many begin excusing their own dishonest acts by saying, “Who is not corrupt today?”
But here is the truth: corruption lives because people tolerate it. Every time we close our eyes, every time we trade our voice for a short-term favor, every time we vote for caste, cash, or fear—we help build the empire of the corrupt. We forget that the price is paid eventually, not only in broken roads, empty hospitals, or vanishing jobs, but also when calamity knocks on our own door. Only then does patriotism suddenly awaken, but by then too much may already be lost.
The Mirage of Power
These looters and manipulators believe money will buy immunity, muscle will silence dissent, and media will sell illusions. They believe they can capture the police, twist the bureaucracy, and bend laws like wax. For a time, they succeed. They walk like lions, roar like lions, and even scare the meek. But imitation has limits. When the real lion enters—the one who carries courage, truth, and people’s will—these pretenders collapse. A true lion does not need show, only impact.
The Coming Reckoning
History whispers: no corrupt empire lasts forever. The fall, when it comes, is severe. Masks are torn, friends disappear, memories of power dissolve, and the crowd that once clapped now turns away in disgust. The tragedy of the corrupt is not their rise; it is their inevitable downfall which comes at the hands of those they underestimated—the very people they tricked.
The Call to the People
The future cannot belong to copycats, manipulators, or drama-makers. The future belongs to doers, builders, and visionaries who turn sweat into strength, not scams into status. For that, people must awaken. Stop treating corruption as a joke. Stop selling your conscience in exchange for promises or crumbs. Stop excusing the corrupt with the lazy phrase, “everyone does it.”
Instead, punish liars with silence, manipulators with rejection, looters with the vote. Stand firm, unbought and unbent. A vigilant people makes a powerful nation, and only vigilant people can summon the real lion to rise.
Walk Like the Real Lion
Anyone can strut like a lion, but the day the true lion comes, the jungle knows the difference. Pretenders scatter. The air clears. Truth walks upright. That lion is not a single person; it is the awakened citizen. It lives in you, in me, in all of us—waiting.
