Change Agents

The world is set to change.There are many change agents around us.They have various names.Think tanks,reformers,philanthropists,intellectuals,philosophers,writers,politicians and numerous other names are there to introduce the change agents.

The change agents have special ways to approach their clients or target audience.They are good psychologists.They screw into the hearts of their audience like magic.Nothing stops them to reach their goal.

I went to a place last evening to see a gathering of thousands of people.They gathered there to get justice.Unfortunately they were deceived year after year.Their minimum right was not granted.They were seriously frustrated and the outburst of their agony compelled them to gather on the square of the road.They felt that,justice delayed meant justice denied.They chanted slogans ,displayed banners,posters,festoons and lit candles in favor of their demands.They also performed dramas,sang songs and presented dances reflecting their demands and aspirations.

 

The gathering stopped the traffic and it grew like flood drawing people from all parts of the city.it was really a passionate gathering.The faces of the people showed unlimited agony and anger.They were very aggrieved for being  denied justice.

My eyes were focused on the lofty stage built for addressing the audience and performing various events.I saw a number of individuals there.One anchor was introducing the speakers and the persons known as change agents took the microphone and spoke to the public in the audience.He made exceptional gestures.The audience hummed and raised their eyes.It appeared that the audience was charmed by his wonderful words.Their eyes beamed with hopes.Their dreams would be fulfilled soon.They were really hypnotized.I was also hypnotized by the magical words.I also hoped that his speech would engender something precious.

The climax appeared.The man made a unique gesture and declared that his latest ghost story book would give instant solutions to their demands.The myth of the justice was impregnated in the masterpiece.Everybody must dig into the content to get their dreams fulfilled.

Most of the audience remained hypnotized.Only few raised their brows.The orator stopped his historical speech.The anchor announced that a beautiful  female dancer would perform next.The audience welcomed her with warm applause.

I really like this. I've never thought of speakers, psychologists, philanthropists, etc. like this but I can see where they could be.

This is a really creative idea. I wish there was more of a plot to go along with this though. You are a creative person and I'm glad that I took the time to read this.

Also thank you for subscribing to my story. It means a lot to me that people are taking the time to read it. If you have any advise for it if you wouldn't mind to just comment and let me know. I'm always open for constructive criticism. After all that's how you improve.

Spoken very much like a journalist with a luxury personal observations.

It is funny how easily we will call for blood and then with the flicker of movement and the seduction of the eyes the mind is sedated to smiles and applause. Does anyone even think for themselves anymore?
Loved the story!

Thank you dear friend for your amazing words.
I enjoy the fun that happen too often around us.

add to your list "ghost hawkers! As for me, I prefer the dancer- at least she's selling an entertaining diversion, not false hope. Good write.

[zainul]

Thanks for the great review and nice suggestion.
I am going to comply with your suggestion soon.

Very well written, well done!

Thank you Maggie for the inspiring review.

It saddens me that someone not only with the ability to speak to a large crowd, but captivate them as well, would use such an opportunity to hawk their latest wares. Bring on the dancer!

I liked this. You brought an interesting crowd perspective.
Nice work!

Thank you Rogue for the enlightening review.
Such opportunistic persons may be few in number,but they may be found in all societies.If they can be identified at appropriate time,damage of the interest of the group may be avoided.
I appreciate your use of 'crowd perspective' which is appropriate term for such event.

Your title 'Change Agents' lured me to read this intriguing write.

"The change agents have special ways to approach their clients or target audience.They are good psychologists.They screw into the hearts of their audience like magic.Nothing stops them to reach their goal"

This paragraph in your story is a great analysis of how people are lulled into a false sense of security by those who say they are going to make their life's better' .... only to infiltrate their minds to gain control for their own deceitful gains.

Great write my friend...

I enjoyed this story very thought provoking read...

Thank you for sharing

[zainul]

You have chosen the best lines.
I am very pleased to appreciate you for explaining the deceitful nature of the so called change agents.
I am very grateful for your great words.
Thank your for the admiring review.

I read this story with interest. I don't know if the speaker's words were really true, or was he simply an excellent orator. Sometimes people are drawn, against their will, to the wrong thing. I hope this audience found the right thing.

[zainul]

Thank you Marie for your precious time to read and review so nicely.
I have tried to focus on a particular person who was an excellent orator but who was not actually interested about the well being of the people.He was interested to gain his own interest from the gathering.He simply wanted to promote his business.
But,I tried to mention that some people understood his tricks.People did not rely on the trade mongering individuals only.They monitored the situation closely and evaluated the outcome.They were active to move with their demands from various perspectives.
I also hope with you that this audience found the right thing.

[Marie]

I thought that's how it was.

Thanks for stopping by again.
You have very a caring heart,dear poetess!
