Again I observed all the oppression That takes place in our world I saw the tears of the oppressed With no one to comfort them The oppressors have great power And the victims are helpless So I almost concluded that the dead are better than the living Then I observed That most people are to success By their envy of their neighbours But this, too, is meaningless I observed yet another example of meaningless in our world This is the case of a man who is alone Without a child or a brother Yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can But then he asks himself Who am I working for What am I giving up so much pleasure now It is all so meaningless and depressing. But then I also realised That man is best motivated In a challenging environment Environment devoid of DEPRESSION Environment devoid of OPPRESSION A positive enviroment I am motivated to create such An enviroment where every one can say "I AM SOMEBODY" And I welcome anyone Ready to move with me Because I BELIEVE Together we are better. « return. |
