The Battle Arena

Don't get me wrong, this is not about the literal battle or war between states and countries or soldiers against the leftist or a kingdom against another kingdom. But for some instance it could be like that,it is depending on how you perceive things about Battle.

To this article I just wanna share to you my personal experienced and thought about the battle that I witness between the people in the politics world. To this story, I will present to you how normal and innocent people affected by the sickening ways of politics.

Perfect Smile

Every candidates need that perfect smile to gain the peoples choice award! Just kidding. Did you noticed that every candidates campaign you will see how terribly they tried to smile just to please the crowd. There's a lot of promises given, and a blah blah blah... As if they can truly accomplish those promises after they won. ( There are few in fairness who truly did what they promise )

But the truth behind those smiles was irritations in their heads. There in the corner lurking the dragon that was about to explode but only minimizing through that fake smile just to show his sincerity and to prepare for the Battle Arena that was about to set to the people of their target.

Working Money/Money Talked

"How much did you recieved from mr. Politician # 0?

A farmer asked his comrade.

"None yet, when did they started giving? how much did you recieved?"

The latter asked consecutively.

Money talks as they say, everybody needs it. They longed for it. Money is waving why shouldn't they accept it right? The same thought came to me when my previews neighbour approached me and said.

" Where did you registered to vote?" If you want you can transfer to our local, the politicians giving a bigger amount of money during the campaign, its better than here. During election you get nothing, after they won you still get nothing. We never get a chance to taste their wealth, at least there you have a chance to get money from them unlike here"

Yeah! We can't hide the truth that politician as a whole is using money for them to win their desired positions. Money has the biggest role and influenced for them to win in the fight to The Battle Arena.

With out money people will not notice them ( maybe not all ). As money is essential to us and so as to them to satisfy their greed. They use money to bribe people to side with them. And mostly voters/people also grab that opportunity to gain and take the said money for their living. We can't blame them right?

Force

This one was their worst weapon. Innocent citizens and the vulnerable sectors affected the most. Both rival politicians used force as their ace and a last resort to ensure their winnings. Sadly, to this stage many lives was claimed by the villains. Those weak became the target. Once you get the money your safety is at staked already ( not always but mostly ) If you loved your life and your family you better obey what they imposed you to do, because if opposed and go the other way you are now the target of their arrow to pinned you down in The Battle Arena.

I can say that my experienced in the politics battle arena was not that bloody compared to others, luckily I did not experienced to tagged along with goons or a barrel of gun is pointing at me during the time of election but some has this scary event in their life that gives them trauma. But I am a living witness to a tragic event happened during the especial counting of votes in the most guarded facility in our town. The tension between the rival parties was very high. You can tell by their sight and expressions how eager they want to win against each other in the battle arena. Both parties has their own armed forces to their side. As far as I know each candidates can request for that for their safety. But the bad side is, our soldiers facing each other to defensed the party that scheduled to them. Another ridiculous!

Authors thought

The battle arena was where the two or more rivals fight each other, and so with politics. The people especially the vulnerable and weak become the battle arena of those giants who wants to reign over. Unfortunately, lives was lost unnecessarily.

I condemned the used of money in the campaign but how could I stop my fellow voter to accept such if I know to myself that they just doing it for the sake of their family's needs? It only once for 3 years I guess.

And if ever a good individual enters politics with good intension to help the people I won't blame them if they will go with flow using money to gain the peoples side. Infact, some or few people in politics world has a great vision to lend a helping hand to their fellow citizens but in order to win the battle arena, it is wise enough to used the weapon of their rival to defeat them.
