But picture this, hit men might murder us, ordinary citizens, in our sleep
Carjackers might shoot us if we hesitate to surrender the car keys
We might die in plane crashes or road accidents
Our lives are also in danger!
Dear politician, you claim your life is in danger because your political opponents are plotting to assassinate you
But picture thus, we ordinary citizens might drown as we fetch water from a well
Our siblings might murder us over land disputes
We might die in earthquakes, floods, droughts, landslides...
Our lives are also in danger!
Dear politician, you claim your life is in danger because your political opponents are plotting to assassinate you
But picture this, an incomplete building might collapse and bury us construction workers alive
Cattle rustlers might roast us inside our huts as they steal our livestock
Terrorists might blow up buildings, vehicles or even themselves near us
Our lives are also in danger!
Dear politician, you claim your life is in danger because your political opponents are plotting to assassinate you
But picture this, rapists might rape and then strangle our children
Rapists might rape and murder our women
Rapists might sodomize and murder our men
Our lives are also in danger!
Dear politician, you claim your life is in danger because your political opponents are plotting to assassinate you
But picture this, we ordinary citizens might die after drinking outlawed brews
We might die after eating contaminated food
We might die of strokes, heart attacks, malaria, diabetes...
We might die of a drug overdose
Our lives are also in danger!
Dear politician, you claim your life is in danger because your political opponents are plotting to assassinate you
But picture this, skinheads might fatally stab us because of our skin colour
Fanatics might murder us over religious differences
We might commit suicide after losing our jobs and can't provide for our families
Our lives are also in danger!
