BY MULATU BELACHEW
I am just to notice
Leave me
Love yourself Live your life
Do not push me
To do something
Or to not do something
I know what to do
When, how
And also, why I have to do it
I am neither ignorant nor arrogant
You know me who I am well
Emmmmmm…. Anyway
I understood ur advice from my heart
Believe me I am not violent
I am innocent committed to serve and save the nation
From hidden war and prolonged pain
I am not foolish to be ur weapon
And to oppress my nation
I took the seat to serve the people
Not to sit as a puppet
I am wiser than you
Better than your master
Who left you without a radar
My duty is not only about my safety
It is about my country
That is way I always stand inclusively
My country is my life
My society is my home
I give you many an uncountable chance
In order to discuss many a difference
But you rejected my call for peace
Not only this, you always propagate things illegally
And immorally
It is not concerned about the people of yours
And about the others
You did it
It is just to hide your crime
And remain unaccountable
After all, you commenced an attack on my state
To extend your oxygen
By the death of every civilian
Which is unlawful and I call you to surrender
But you intentionally involved in war
Destructed this or that public infrastructure
However I would like to tolerate u for
The time we had together
It is a time matter
For u to be judged by law or disappear
For all yours selfish, inhuman acts and disorder
The time I had together with u in career
Helped me to discover something better
About your career
And mind me to develop my own way to fire
Your bad will on me and my people
Time is king, I am a master to manage things in the right way
Within a time circle
For the better life and future of my state
When I said time is king
Emmmm… just to indicate that time is time never changed
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
But we are changed
From the bad act to the good
Means change is an inevitable fact in our life
In bad or good sense
The bad or the good things are determined by our deed
For the good thing to happen
Know this well on earth often
Nothing is permanent
Hence, you have to know how life gets change having heavy load
Don’t consider things as difficult and impossible
Don’t conclude things as bad at any level
How the situation is dark and difficult to see hope
Say “I have hope and I can win!”
But expect not a bed of roses
No moon no sun
To light things for us
They are controlled by those self-seeking
But it has a certain end
A way to destroy its wad
That is way I said I know what I do
When to do
And how to do
Because you are who you are
And I am who I am at my march
So, we need to have principle
That makes the land safe
You can win and make it good
If you start playing life’s game with yourself.
Unless u couldn’t see hope
Ready urself for change, mutual growth
Then stand first to change ur life most
Exemplary for others at most
Then start action on time
Before it is too late
What I done is
All this
After action evaluate the failure, opportunity, success of ur way and documented it
And continue working, going to ur dream until u serve the people.
Forget those who hinder u not to go
Do not put ur trust, confidence in people
Do not be ashamed to do what u believe important to u
And society around u
It is real sign of civilization
And a responsible nation
That coined via respecting natural and artificial rights
This is not only respecting rights
It is also fulfilling social responsibilities
You know civilization is all about this
What is happening yesterday, and today are
A history and experience to build shared future
That suited for all not for some alone
Unless instability continue
Mark my word
If your vision is fair and inclusive
You are a winner and a hope of prayer
How you are here is your strong commitment
Towards nation building that bases on variety
You are the winner when you stand on the right track
Unless you are loser if u miss the right corner
Nation continues either of you remembered in good or bad memory
Hence, be committed to serve the nation not individuals
And build strong institutions not individual groups
Which is the secret why the country remains strong ever.
