Kneeling, while a position of humility, also symbolizes punishment and surrender and, in some cases, is inhumane to a person. Comfortably sitting with impunity behind closed doors of a luxury vehicle, a mother and grandmother is on her knees in a position of plea amidst rampant corruption, exploitation of Liberia’s resources, and dehumanization of Liberians by elected officials (Senators, Representatives), and Executives entrusted with power to revive the health and sanity of Liberia.
Liberians are being openly provoked to anger daily, watching their children die of drug addiction and overdose, hunger and starvation, minor and curable illnesses, sexual gender based violence against women and children, and an increase in criminal activities from the highest echelon of government, without conscience. It is time for Articles 1 of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia to be exercised by those who are given that power, (The People).
