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.
