The Approaching Army



Look around you
What can you see?
Is it just houses, trees and people?
Then it means you have not seen them cladded in their shining armor and raising high their lances and shields
Wiling and waiting to defend all that they hold dear to them

Open your ears wide
What can you hear
Is it just the sounds of sirens, horns, and the distant whistling of the birds?
Or is it the sound of shuffling feet and moving cars you hear?
Then you have neither heard the sounds of their trumpets nor the sounds of their marching feet as they approach
Ready to take on all who dare to do wrong or too scared to do the right thing

What do you feel
Is it just the freezing air or the heat from the scorching sun?
Then it means you haven’t began to feel their impact
Which would change your world as you know it and create a new order

Well I will tell you what I have seen, which is beyond mere gossip
Boys like men riding on wishes as if they were horses. Tired of waiting for the next time the thugs are in need of idle hands to come dazzle them with ill-gotten wealth, only to leave them to dry in the sun, when they get what they want
Boys like men riding on wishes as if they were horses
Whoever said if wishes were horses beggars would ride
S/he has most likely not met this generation
They don’t just ride on wishes
They fly on them, like they were carpets from Aladdin

Let me tell you what I heard which is embedded in the prophecies
Youths who call themselves innovators, entrepreneurs and change agents
Leveraging on any and all the opportunities they can find
Conquering the challenges and hurdles that life dishes out at them
Ready to take on positions that would change the world and are not willing to make compromises with their integrity or their worth with mere pieces of gold coins

They have taken an oath not to fail their neighbors like the generations before them.
They are willing to lay down their lives for the cause and prove that their generation is what putting hopes and trusts in.
They refuse to be blind sighted, as to gather supposed wealth just for themselves because they know they would only be leaving curses for their generations unborn to inherit.

To all those who would dare to oppose them
Know that they refused to be ignored or silenced
So take this as a warning so as not to be trampled upon if you stand in their way.
