I am done

I am done
and this time for good
I am done with wishing and hoping
I am done with dreaming and praying
don’t get me worng
God and I are tight
I am done with praying for God to touch someone else
to start what I know
He has already ordained me to start
I am done
with fearing what will happen
wondering what people will say
not sure if I will have a following
failing before I start
for the simple reason
of not being courageous
to walk the road
less travelled
I have had enough
of tearing up every day
watching a child starve
or neighbor turning against neighbor
in hatred and animosity
fueled by those charged with
the responsibility to ensure peace
I am done
being at the sidelines as my country goes up in flames
fueled by tribalism and corruption
I am done electing leaders
all they do is visit
a week to the elections
not to be seen
until the next elections
I am done
voting as a tribal block
thinking in line of
‘it’s our turn’
Leadership is not about a community
it’s about servanhood
representing the interests of the people
who believe in you
and elect you as a leader
I am done
I will wait no more
I will talk no more
I will act
or forever keep my opinions
I will stand and be counted
I will vote wisely
based on performance
and not tribal lines
I will love my neighbor
and celebrate our differences
I will pay my taxes (no promises here)
and keep away from corruption
I will lend a helping hand
not because I have too much surplus
but because I can share what I have
without being inconvinienced
I am done being passive
I will wait no longer
I will take the first step
and not care who is watching
play my part and role in society
I AM DONE TALKING!!!
