Poetic Koncept has released three poetic anthologies so far in the past five months. This current one adds up to make the numerical value four. (For Better or Else, Prove Them Wrong and Swindlers On The Pulpit-Reloaded ) were the anthologies published this year so far plus this current one you are about reading. An inspiring and thought provoking works published by the team.
This current one is not different from what you have read from our outfit. The content, humour, satire, and the literary device employed would make you want to read more.
The origin of this anthology came in a conversation colleagues had about how uninspiring the nation’s institutions have become and the unprecedented events before and after the 2020 general election which is a threat to our democracy. The worst of all is the strategic culture of silence.
Like Lakhdar Brahini said, “To consolidate peace after war is a long-term process; to consolidate democracy is a even longer one.” Hence, if the democracy of our nation is compromised, there are no quick fixes. And if our democracy is to be protected, we need effective and accountable systems.
This art of work, draws our attention to the very things that threaten our democracy and highlight
on the need to rebuild the rule of law and trust in the government. “Government of the people, by the people and for the people”.
Yet the people have been sidelined. What’s the essence of democracy then if your views can’t be tolerated?
This project, “PROTECTING OUR DEMOCRACY” seeks to inform the masses, dig out the covered trenches of politically sweet and power drunk government, to rise up above certain things.
Democracy should be more about involvement, inclusion and tolerating of the views of others. So why the change ?
This and many more are embedded in this project.
As you brace yourself to read, do so calmly and see how these amazing writers have carved their words to suit the situation.
“Endeavor to read, it’s important that you read. Readers are leaders.
Everything hidden from you is embedded in what you have refused to read”.
Be that uncensored citizen!
