These are the crucial moments of our lives. We imagine ourselves as a type of people that the society has a different opinion towards. We classify ourselves according to classes that suit our career status and social background. We limit society from dreaming big and imagining a better tomorrow as corruption and greed have infested our land and leadership. We abort the ambitions and short term goals that can uplift our society with availing grants and creating rights with no responsibilities. It is as if no one cares, since no one has been tasked with looking after another person’s life.
Our lives are clustered with busy schedules, one never has a minute to stop and breath. This is the fast rolling fiasco that the 21st century has turned into. We then say we are a people that bask in the precious abundance of possibilities? The shameful deeds are masked with good PRO as man compares himself to the infinite God. While society stands and watches as technology fast tracks time into seconds. The responsibilities of the family unit are being passed on to care givers of a generation that finds their ideologies in the ready-made instant solutions from TV. Still we proclaim, we announce redemption and liberation to the people as we renounce and make mockery of their faith and hope in the little things that time after time have proven supreme.
Man dares to call themselves saviours and offers salvation to all those who offers their souls to an abomination of deceit and chaos. These are the critical moments in our lifetime. We harshly protest against rules and gladly accept immorality and disgraceful rituals and trends. For cannibalism has spread throughout our land, siblings feeding on each other’s failures. What type of people have we become? The little things that matter to bring us pride and joy have been locked away in closets of poor and needy. It’s a world of the rules of the jungle, the speed of light and the wrath of the violent waves of the sea. After all tears, the sacrifice and the lives given, this is all that we have chosen to be. A land still filled with hatred and a great devastation of separation.
I am for the world, I am for the generation that stands for change. I am for the generation that stands out and work for the lives of others. I am for the generation that stands for what is right and takes responsibility for their actions. I am for the nation that does good behind closed doors, which needs no media coverage for society to honour them and have favour upon them. I am for the kindness that is eternal, mercy that sees no colour and goodness that is forever. I am for a generation that lives with ambitions and dreams that will feed the empty stomachs of our children and elderly, a generation that will teaches boys and girls how to fish so they may go back and teach the young ones that come after them.
I refuse the immorality that renounces God in society. My ego comes last as my humanitarian pride is the abundance of joy that lives within me, that sees hope and holds faith for a better tomorrow. Take a decision to live for others, make the right choices and change the world. One step at a time we can make the world a better place.
