Politicians’ Epitaphs

The unspoken words invisibly inscribed on the tombstones of famous or notorious political leaders, whose earthly decisions and actions (or inactions) have positively or negatively impacted millions of people when they were the head of state (or even after they had relinquished power).

A leaked document entitled “Politicians’ Epitaphs” from the secret department of a NATO member state has the following printed:

Here lies Vladimir V. Putin with promises of peace—waiting to be canonized by the Orthodox Church.

Here lies Donald J. Trump with no more lies—hoping to be a future Dalai Lama or Pope.

Here lies Kim Jong-un, on transit to join his dad and grandad—in Hades.

Here lies Robert G. Mugabe on reclaimed white land—still in purgatory.

Here lies Harry Lee Kuan Yew—as long as the whites rule the “fine” city.

Bless Putin

The Russian or Communist equivalent of “Bless Trump” or “Bless Kim” in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. When an oft-unforgiving world is divinely commanded to bless or love their political enemy rather than curse or hate them—an almost impossible human thing to do sans the love of Christ and the obedience not to harbor ill will vis-à-vis those who have wronged, harmed, or killed others.

Guesstimate how many people today outside Russia and Crimea would obediently bless Putin rather than curse him— and his gang of murderers and mercenaries—in spite of their evil acts.

Piriosity

When someone is radically curious about the number π, hoping to experience some aha’s once in a while, when she reveals some juicy little theorems or lemmas about her.

The potential extinction of piriosity among math educators in MAGA states is an emergency, which is compounded by politicians’ own agenda to ban “woke math”
curriculums aimed at pacifying voters who want a watered-down version of Common Core Math or Singapore Math.

Covid Fate

That someone will die of the coronavirus, whether they get vaccinated or not, is determined by their Creator, who has the final say on their last day on earth.

If your time to journeying to the other side of eternity has come or hasn’t arrived yet, regardless of the pandemic situation around you, or of the necessary health precautions you’ve taken, it all boils down to your covid fate, and not because of a deadlier variant of the virus that is hell-bent to ending your life prematurely.

Covid Exploitation

When employers and factories use the pandemic as an excuse to unfairly terminate workers, or to close the workplaces by offering them zero compensation.

Guesstimate how many migrant workers in the Middle East and in Asia have so far fallen prey to covid exploitation by their unscrupulous employers.

Twonager

A toddler who leverages on their young age and radical selfishness to terrorize or blackmail their parents and grandparents to give in to their demands or wants.

Twonagers born with a silver spoon in their mouth are like little Donald J. Trump’s or Kim Jong-Un’s, with a small percentage of them never outgrowing that phase of their life to become lifelong jerks or assholes.

Covid-bellied

Those who had unhealthily put on some extra pounds during the coronavirus outbreak, as they stayed at home snacking junk food, smoking cannabis, or swallowing wine or alcohol to kill time.

Guesstimate how many millions of people worldwide had ended up being Covid-bellied since they were forced into quarantine or lockdown.
