I AM
I am sitting here reflecting on the events that have taken place recently in my beloved country and nothing but anger fills my mind. We watched these things happen on TV before, but now, it seems it is all here to stay with us. We have a government that has failed her people in every respect of the word. From providing basic amenities to protecting the people, the government has not been able to do anything at all. Series of bomb blasts happened on Christmas day and the best our president could do was give a speech that angered instead of comforting anyone. These are the words I can find solace in right now... Big and strong, a shelter to all yet filled with shame and disgrace, A home to so many, leading others yet backward in so many ways, Blessed with fertility and no natural disasters but corruption has ravaged the land. Known for vast ethnicity and a rich cultural heritage but consumed by religious, political and ethnic bigotry. I am a nation for all
