Knowing how much life has to offer , I reflect daily on what it takes to be a great citizen

Standing in the time of adversity
That time so in pleasant that everyone one flees
Fleeing from our mother land ;where we all call home
I stand here, I stand a patriot
Being confronted with the failing promises
Promises leaders bring each electoral season
Creamed up with little bribes for votes
I stand unwaved, I stand a patriot
The promise of equality amongst all
Justice been promised
Betrayal by state due to corruption
It lingers but i stand a patriot
Children dying due to prevent able causes
Pregnant mothers denied of being happy mothers after a long labour
Dwindling down health care they offer
Yet we Stand, we stand as Patriots
Being a patriot is not by mere utterances but by Darin actions! On the streets , in the school's, in the markets , in the churches! Standing for the civility and fairness you believe. Knowing how much you actions and silence may have an effect on the way the world sees you as a nation. I stand today to challenge you. Don't get weary , keep doing what is right and what you believe in cause it pays . I know life won't always present roses but it's only fair if our future as a people is duely considered
