The Poetic Word

We all have a Role To Play

BY GLORIA O’KOYE

Comments and remarks

Being constantly made…

“Only doing this certain work will enact real change!”

“Only this is the true way!!”

“The way that you doing, things will remain the same!”

 

Intentionally or unintentionally belittling or disregarding different paths

A common virus of forgetting the unique gifts

To contribute solutions,

Each way that partakes

For the bigger cause

 

But there will be no appreciation for the quench of thirst

Unless the water well runs dry

Until everyone walks on the same exact concrete

Will people learn that diversity aiming for the same goal,

Will produce more fruits

In its own time

 

A message that have been passed on from generations to generations

From ancestors to hopefully also descendants

The strengths and passion that is given

Is meant for you to cherish and pour out

Throughout the nations

Continue to build and grow

Tuning out anything that does not have the heart to build your foundation

 

Remember you are doing enough

You are doing what you are meant to do

Don’t compare

Or allow others to change and deter you from your mission
