We are seeing double everywhere

GRAND Chief Sir Michael Somare and Peter O’Neill, we are all schizophrenic now.
There is two of everything.
Confusion reigns in Papua New Guinea where there are now effectively two of you claiming to be the prime minister; there are two governments, two police commissioners, two governor-generals and two army commanders.
Soon there will be two of everything judging by the way things are unfolding.
And if that does not get your heads swivel enough, the controversial and potentially inflammatory attempt by you, Sir Michael, the other day to order the PNG Defence Force to attempt a military takeover, attempt a mutiny.
For the love of the dinosaurs, what next in evolution are you two evolving yourselves into? What has happened to our human reasoning – the characteristics that we associate with thinking, cognition and intellect?
The decisions you have made and the actions you have taken thus far for the country the past few weeks has brought nothing concrete but shame. There is wisdom of the head, and wisdom of the heart.
I implore you to see the reactions of the people now and let you decide from conviction of that wisdom, the best deduced solution to this charade.
Princes and governments are far more dangerous than other elements within societies. So please consider the lives of your seven million people and immediately cease your political tussle for prime ministership.
In aerodynamics, the bumblebee cannot fly either, but the bumblebee does not know anything about the laws of aerodynamics, so it goes ahead and flies anyway.
