From intrapersonal monolog,
To interactive interchange,
To pair chat and conversation,
Exchange of ideas and discussion,
To come up with the best solution,
Family integration, for communal discourse,
And for societal communication,
To the extent that can bring about,
National reconciliation at a higher level,
When seen at a larger scale,
Can be the best remedy,
Cleanse poisonous attitude, the spoiled and muddy,
Avoiding pessimistic gesture, making odds reverse,
Vanishing the greedy, for the sake of others,
And for common good,
Via digging out the grudge,
Hostility and ill-intended mirage,
It requires thinking out of the box,
To win confidence hitting all the crux,
Channel of communication,
With streamlined flow of information,
No hurdle is left untouched,
If the process is well channeled,
Wholeheartedly communicated,
Ducking superficial style,
Not for the sake of merely,
Document and file,
Yes, inclusive dialogue,
Has to be color blind,
To give full chance to well include,
All those legitimately operate,
Holding regional, national freight,
By making their vision bright,
Discuss from the bottom of their heart,
So long as it includes the ones taking the lead,
Who are working for the same cause?
Making an affluent, peaceful nation,
Independent of foreign ration,
Doesn’t rotate due to intervention,
Pushed by illegitimate and aid-centered machine,
No one can come and act accordingly,
To make our county great, free of rein,
Prosperous, nonviolent and sovereign,
Instead of leaving it in vain,
It is we all, male and female,
Ordinary citizens or politically active,
Who can drive well; walk on foot or dive,
Students of all levels, novice or seniors,
Military staff and officers,
Those who are attending higher learning institutions,
Exchange ideas one another through,
All means of communications,
Channels of social media such as e-mail,
Writers, journalists or all media personnel,
Those belittle world of luxury,
Dwellers of monasteries and nunnery,
High profile investors, well-to-do family,
Destitute, deprived, all the time shed in gully,
Mentally retarded or normally act,
All need a nation to live in harmony, to refract,
Hence, they need all means of peaceful avenue,
For the purpose of avoiding unfriendliness,
Hatred, displacement and murder,
At the center, east, west,
South or north or any corridor,
True, the significance of dialog,
Comprehensive and eternal one,
Proper communication and heartily discourses,
Helps get dried all evil sources,
No idea should be reserved,
In due course of conducting dialog,
As it lays the foundation,
For change and transformation,
Be smart all Ethiopians,
You are the ones who is responsible,
To make even all the unthinkable possible,
Ours is equaled by none,
Yes, Ethiopia is unique, blessed and merry,
Rich in all resources, assets; cultured citizenry,
Known for coexistence tolerance and bravery,
Let’s talk, discuss and consult one another,
Make a dialog each other as a friendly dad and mother,
In so doing, we can feel the good taste of being together,
Dialogue, when it becomes inclusive,
Enables us all to sieve,
The chaff from the seed,
To come up with, and to receive,
Yummy fruit, lasting yield and right hive,
For making a great nation,
Supreme and independent for the coming generation,
Long heaped hatred and grudge,
Atrocity and cruel garage,
Chauvinistic stance and irresponsible sense,
Would be rooted out for good,
Through consensus, unanimity and amicable line,
To make everything, every condition fine,
Great citizens of the greatest nation,
Smart and dynamic population,
All the time believe in understanding and negotiation,
