You Can Make A Difference

Some people believe that

The only way they can be heard

Is by being restive and protesting

Violently in public

This is wrong we have to learn

The value, precipitation, and

Process of non-violent protest

God has given you power

To effect any change you desire (Act 1:8)

But you have to know

How to wisely present

Your case before those

In position of authority

To get the desired results

Some time ago,

a certain musician gathered

World leader together to make a decision

He wasn’t a president;

He wasn’t even a politician,

Yet he was able to pull this off.

How? He recognized himself,

As somebody special and took advantage of it

That’s the way you ought to think;

See yourself as a special person,

A man or woman of influence

That can effect a change.

You have what it takes

To make all the needed difference in our country

From where you are, for example,

You can write-letters, articles, and online

Posts-anything constructive

That can make a difference.

History is replete with stories

Of men and women who inspired revolution

Through their writings

This doesn’t mean writing malicious

Things about people just to berate them,

But penning constructive suggestion

That can improve the society and the country as a whole

Perhaps you occupy a high position

From where you can influence major decision,

Don’t hold back

Let no one intimidate you

Rather think like Esther,

Who through her position of influence

Circumspectly presented her case before the king,

And by so doing, delivered the children of Israel from annihilation

By acting this way,

You’ll not only stand

For the common good of others,

But will also be an inspiring godly

Example for generations to follow
