I must, at any cost, strive to become
the person of freedom that I so admire. I do not want to ever
find myself in the position that is occupied by the ignorant
or the apathetic. I can not rest behind the lie that I do not
know. I will not allow myself to submit to the fear that
allows men to be killed, women to be raped and children sold
into slavery.
I need to choose my day, no, this day
when I will walk for the lame and speak for the mute. I will
embrace the disease that destroys the body, but never, ever
have the slightest regard for the diseases that destroy the
moral integrity of man. That so grossly disfigures the
creation and image of God.
I will beg for the right to someday ask
the question, “why?”
However, I will beg quietly, in my
solitude.
I will embrace life in your eyes, so
that somehow you may receive more of it, all the while
searching for the only thing that will bring my heart rest…
The right to ask the question, first
hand…
The right to sleep. |
