When you hit the bottom the only way to go is up

Despair, instability and a glimpse of chaos ; this is what is happening in the place we call home......everyday we ask ourselves the same set of questions when is this gonna end? how will it end? who will be our saviour? then we move on with our busy daily routines and forget about these questions.... never giving a moment to look for the answers..... the answer to these questions are very simple...each one of us is an answer...each one of us is accountable for the situation our homeland is in today....

 you say leaders are the problem.......corrupt leaders......government not doing enough..well the government didn't elect itself......we voted for these people didn't we......we trusted them to change our future without looking at what they had done in the past.

  Extremism playing havoc with our social fabric .....who's to blame.....didn't you and i let these so called preachers ; preach nothing but sectarianism......we didn't stop them then how do you presume you can stop them now when they have developed such a following ......

 Nepotism, favouritism.....but we have to ask ourselves are we not doing this.....??? Foreign hand destabilising our country??? who's becoming the handy man for those foreign forces........

 

 We had said goodbye to despair on the eve of independence........all divisions among us had disappeared in the pursuit of a common cause........we are a people who have laid down their lives for the honour of the green and white flag.......the sweat of our brow had provided the shine to the star and crescent.........but slowly we strayed from our course and today we stand at a cross roads where our existence is in question............the time to accept responsibility is now.....lest we may not even be alive to repent

  

We have hit the bottom and now the only way to go is up.......and there is not gonna be any ride that we can hitch to get there ...step by step inch by inch we are gonna have to get there ourselves even if we have to crawl....we have to believe in our abilities .....make wiser decisions as a nation.....we need to unite and firstly accept that there are problems we need to resolve then the solutions will come forward.....we will have to take care of the seconds and then minutes, hours, days and centuries will take care of themselves.......we will have to say no to sectarianism, religious hatred.....regional and lingual biases. We will have to chose our leaders more wisely and these leaders are there among us ....only those who know how you and i feel can provide a solution for our woes..........our fate is in our own hands...we are the ones responsible for what will happen to us....... each one of us is a solution to our woes.....all we have to do is to wake up to this responsibility and play our role...it is time we rose from the ashes like a Phoenix..........and 17 million hopes, efforts and wills can certainly rekindle this dying flame.
