Political commitment vs National Interest

I have pondered how much I daily crave to be HOME!! I have been waiting for the dust to settle , but it appears the winds of disruption and political adultery keep swaying my heart to stay a little bit longer. I now wonder where I really belong. I have strong social links within this foreign land but equally feel that I belong somewhere...Home, my motherland, My heart weeps for my murderland !!! My heart weeps when I recieve summons , knells that sends shivers down my spine...all because I have spoken to the world at one time about my murderland. Welcome home my son , but here is what you need to tell the world, the world as I see it.
I have specially invited you so that I tell you what I want the world to know...Not what is real!!
Listen to the voice of propaganda...Reversing the real and upseting truth.
Which is greater, national interest or Political commitment.
All I know is that one of them is an adulterated mode of reality!

Michael Chipato is a social and development scientist currently living in Birmingham.Over the years issues pertaining social inequalities, dictatorship, political oppression and gender disparities have been his research focus.As an artist, journalist and academic Michael's philosophy of life is greatly influenced by Léopold Sédar Senghor (9 October 1906 – 20 December 2001) ... a Senegalese poet, politician, and cultural theorist who served as the first president of Senegal (1960–1980). Senghor was the first African to sit as a member of the Académie française. He was also the founder of the political party called the Senegalese Democratic Bloc. He is regarded by many as one of the most important African intellectuals of the 20th century. Senghor created the concept of Négritude, an important intellectual movement that sought to assert and to valorize what they believed to be distinctive African characteristics, values, and aesthetics..He does not condone oppression and violence in any shape or form.
