There is a nation that treats its citizens with impunity. Where leaders
publicly declare and boast of their new abilities to be completely
unmoved by the plight of its people. Where medical officers who are
expected to make life and death decisions 24 hrs a day are left unpaid
for 11 months and almost every supposed social freedom and human rights
fighter is completely silent but will immediately find their voices and
spew lots of crap ( forgive my french) as soon as these medical
officers go on strike. Where public institutions can declare the amount
of money they have squandered or wasted with a straight face completely
unashamed because they are affiliated to the sitting government. A
nation where electricity and water are no more basic amenities but
special privileges and rare opportunities.
But i see a people who are ready to turn this particular nation around. People who are burdened with the very plight of the land and are genuinely passionate about seeing a positive change. People who will not be bought with money and political favors but will be energized by the true spirit of patriotism not a superficial confession of affiliation to a confused ideology.
A new breed of young leaders, business people, students, workers, technicians, artisans, entertainers, spiritual leaders and public servants who live, breathe, sleep and think about this nation and how it can rise from the doldrums of mediocrity, nepotism, corruption and impoverishment.
A new group of people who are not bothered about titles but focused on results. A people who will stand and declare, even in the face of opposition and passivity, that we will impact our generation with all we have whether we are publicly acknowledged or not.
I also have a dream, but i refuse to leave it as a dream. I call on this new breed of young leaders to wake up from their slumber, shake off the dust of mediocrity and apathy and pick up their tools.
We cannot allow this nation to continue on its free fall. Remember, we are the purported future leaders who will eventually have to take responsibility for whatever is left of this nation.
So what will it be? The choice is ours to make.
