Of what purpose does a man push himself hard to become a judge ? Claim to be just and true but falls to the sweet words of lawyers, who present false statements as evidence to gain a pay from the highest bidder, who inturn is filled with greed and selfishness. Of what reason do you deserve to be a Judge that claims to do justice but feeds on the meat of an animal that ate another animal that fed on another animal,that fed on another animal, that fed on a young growing plant, that came from sand that was beaten up by rain and stamped by animals and humans. How then are you a just Judge when you kill an ant on its way to find food for its family because it happens to be in your house, as if the earth belongs to you alone. I did rather be a President than a Judge but that doesn't mean a Judge and a President are far off each other for they are both positions of leadership. And so I wonder how a man can be full of himself as to desire such position as the ruler, I wonder how my country's President sleeps at night knowing fully well he can't satisfy all of his citizens needs,knowing fully well that corruption is in the hearts and minds supported by greed in men yet he states straightheadedly with confidence like a tyrant barking orders at his underlings that he will free us from what is embedded in the minds and hearts of men yet corruption grows like feathers of a bird , the country runs from one trouble to another with the former unsolved, we moved from colonialist,to militarian tyranny to the debt of loans to insurgency and many more . Yet we still lie to ourselves that our region can be saved by the leaders who run to our mercy when election is near but distant themselves after being showed mercy. We are told by the people who vow to take us a step closer to the land of our dreams to shut our mouths for we were ruled for more than 20years by greedy leaders buh we couldn't see and talk against them and now we open our dirty mouths to criticise the work of men God had chosen to guide us . But I say to them, we were blind back then and now that we are able to see the light God destined for us ,we won't settle for less. My words may have said alot about my feelings,and may have cause you discomfort or cause you great joy but I ask you this ? Who am I to judge the work of another , who am I to say with such boldness those words from my mouth and type them with my hands, Who am I to say anything about the cruelty of our leaders when I am but a sinner who maybe far worse than those I criticize I am only a Soldier But not a soldier Like everyone knows I don't wear uniforms Like those army generals I don't stand in war fronts with guns Buh I stand with my heart in front Without weapons of mass destruction Buh a weapon of mass construction I am only a poet And my tongue is my weapon. https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1871478472930355&id=100002046615848&refid=17&ref=opera_speed_dial&_ft_=top_level_post_id.1871478472930355%3Atl_objid.1871478472930355%3Acontent_owner_id_new.100002046615848%3Athrowback_story_fbid.1871478472930355%3Athid.100002046615848%3A306061129499414%3A2%3A0%3A1541055599%3A-3475864583714707362&__tn__=%2As-R |
