Dear Mr. President, we’ve had Enough of this ‘Fresh Air’. [An Open letter]



“Turning and turning in this widening gyre;
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the land.
The blood doomed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity”- W.B. YEATS

Dear Sir, I’ve at many times nursed the ambition to pen you this missive. Of particular mention, was during the twilight of last year when open letters littered all sections of the media, both print and electronic. But it appeared that any time I pick up my ink to write, somewhere out of the blue, a voice from within tells me to give you another benefit of doubt, that everything will soon be fine and so I have all these while taken a chill to see if common sense will drown the lust of power which many have attributed to your continuous grip or hold onto the seat of power. Let me categorically say that I share in their single story of you, irrespective of how incomplete they may be.
