For so long, I've ignored Karl Marx believe of religion being the opium of the masses... But with the present happenings in our society, I can't get a better explanation.
As "YOUTHS" We wake up everyday, with neither stability nor hope for it, yet we all rejoice.
In a nation where poverty have become normal and all sorts of suffering inevitable.
-Food, is not for everyone,
-Employment of any kind, like an oil well,
-Job security, now myths,
-Energy, a royal blood,
-Good Roads, only in dreams,
-Justice, presently a fairy tale,
-Security, now quantified by pocket,
-Education, of little or no standard,
We comfortably dress to kill from our little earnings,
We party all night long as if we are with no worries,
We extort ourselves from the very little we have,
We drink to stupor as if everything is in order,
We blame leaders, yet not ready to take the bull by the horn,
I guess at this point, my point is clear.
Don't wake every morning with the mindset
"There is still hope" from where?
"At least am still alive" and so?
"Things should be changed" by who?
"God is in control" with who as an instrument?
"God won't forsake us" when you've forsaken yourself?
"The man of God said am rich, therefore I can't be poor" In heaven or on earth?
I truly believe in the existence of God and of course in his words,, but every true believer in Gods' wisdom, will agree with me that he makes way when there is no way, and a way can't be made available when you are in your comfort zone.
It is our responsibility to ensure a better society,
It is our right to demand for implementation of budgets,
It's in our hands to put an end to the suffering in our home,
It is important that we take charge now,
Let's All Make A Difference Together, By Asking The Right Questions, Addressing It To The Right Channels, Asking It Constructively, And NEVER LEAVE IT UNTIL IT IS ANSWERED.
