I CHOOSE TO BE DIFFERENT


Welcome to the 21st century
Home to a set of people who are fashion driven;
Exhibiting attitudes of moral decadence at high level
Behaving complacently, doing all sort of immoral things
Perhaps the most perverse one that will walk the earth

Celebrating immorality like a new found love
Giving credence to indecency
A place where talents for true liberation is wasting off
But lot is being invested in deception
They know the right thing to do but wilfully avoid it
Because their sense of decency has been plagued

Set of people whose interest in reading is declining
Especially when your so called life changing write up
Is exceeding a paragraph with zero picture
With pleasure will they glance through
Missing out discussed important points

A set of people who godly things is of less interest to
But can have a vigil chatting, watching movies and discussing sin
Where couples joined in vows are comfortable
Denying one another in the name of money and fame
Where conjugal is no longer looking blissful but fearful

They spend fortune in putting up shows
That’ll rather destroy homes than bring peace
What a perverse generation

But amidst all this malfunction
I choose to be a light bearer to this dark generation
Treading its crooked path that they may see that
Which is right and encourage them to embrace the good

I choose to be a forerunner of ethics
Living a life worthy of emulation, perfect for a godly society

I choose to be an epitome of godly manners
Exhibiting behaviours fit for the society
Where young ones can grow to love right
Learn right, live right, relate and influence right

I choose to be a pathfinder, just in behaviour and character
An advocate for fairness, equity and equality
I choose to be a light, I choose to be different
