How are you?

First things first, I know we don’t like each other – enemies, right? So, let’s not pretend that we do and don’t use my kind words and low tone as an invitation to be friends, nope! Consider this civility as a choice – for these few minutes, we are good?

Whatever!

I am writing to you so that we can have a candid discussion about your people – but before that, I think, in the spirit of fair play (I know you have no idea what ‘fair’ means), I should congratulate you for keeping your base tight and for your impressive recruitment strategy. I mean you are doing awesomely well on that front. The foundation you have set in people’s minds, beliefs, laws and institutional structures is giving you the comfort you don’t deserve and making our battle even harder.

But I am not giving up (so you know).

As for recruitment, I know, your power is derived from my people. You keep using them as instruments to spread your propaganda and your fallacious promise of heavenly rewards. When necessary (which happens to be every day and always), you use them to suppress and punish those of us who have declared war on you.

What I find new-ish, is your incursion into ‘my camp’ and recruiting ‘my comrades’ – well played! Very well, played!

Just to let you know that I know, your recruits –  ‘my comrades’ – are launching inside attacks, left, right and center. They got no penitence, and they spare no weapons – you taught them well, right? Call me a coward, but I got principles, I can’t just fight them.

I know this doesn’t make sense to you because you can do anything and everything to keep your power, privileges and dominance, but I can’t! I fight  to make the world just. It doesn’t make sense to commit injustice in pursuit of  justice.

Geez! I can’t believe I am talking to you about justice! Yoo!

Anyway, I am sure you are smiling and tittering as you are reading this note– but that won’t be for long, my dear.

Yes, I called you dear, because my fighting spirit is founded on love and not hate.

My conviction is fit as fiddle and, regardless of how impossible this fight seems to be, my victory is guaranteed.

Back to where we started. Why am writing this about your people? Yes, those enjoying your privileges and power Why are they becoming so lazy?

I mean you have made virtually everyone believe that they are the most gifted, intelligent and everything in-between hence they are supreme. Why then do they keep declaring their ignorance on simple issues like my rights or my ideology? Are they becoming dumb or is it their barbaric, out of touch strategy to keep their oppression and abuse?

It’s 2021 for justice’s sake!

Could you guys convene, whether it’s a meeting, gathering or prayer, I really don’t care. But, can you please come up with new excuses? Or seek new revelation, which are evidence-based?

It’s an insult to our collective intelligence if you keep using the same old, revolting excuses.

Imagine I have now memorized all the excuses, responses and explanations with 110% accuracy. I thought it’s the 21st century and our battles will be  fought based on merits of arguments and scientific evidence, but nope! No wonder you malevolently muted our voice and, when we claimed it, violence and shame became your weapons of choice to silence us.

Not anymore!

I am writing to you because it’s obvious that your people can longer think for themselves and, undoubtedly, they don’t have the “means” to learn anything new. You kept them in autopilot for far too long. Now they have grown to be robotic.

Can you, kindly, dear patriarchy, uninstall that old operating software and install a new one? Please don’t run some few updates here and there. This needs a fresh installation of a new and latest software.

I know you are puzzled why am I asking you all this? Simply put, I am just fair! I need them in the battleground well-equipped. Short of that, I will be committing injustice – just like you!

Or, if it sits well with your ego, consider this as an invitation to display the awesomeness of your soul, sophistication of your mind and coolness of your demeanor. I am inviting you to show off your exactitude. Will you?

In Waiting,

Your Enemy
