Let Your Voice Be Heard

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD

Let your voice be heard, Through Peace, Democracy, Equality and Justice.

I am but a small voice, I have but a small dream, the fragrance of a flower in the
unpolluted air. These are the lyrics of the song: I have a Dream. Yes my dear
friends, our voice can be heard if we live in a peaceful place with democracy having
equal opportunities to obtain justice.
To our dear teachers, fellow students and to my co-contestants, a pleasant day to
one and all. Being a student, I am fully aware of what is happening around me. From
the daily news we can hear, read and view that crimes are rampant especially in
urban areas. Getting the life of a person is so simply done in daylight time. Poor
becomes poorer while rich becomes richer. Democracy is now being disregarded
and justice is only for the wealthy ones. Rich people can buy justice but poor will
just be put to jail. Sad to say that democracy is no longer for the people, by the
people and of the people. How fortunate are those people who were blessed with
good luck and power because of their high and supreme positions. How lucky are
those political people who can pocket the funds of the government. How wise are
those people who hypnotized and made the citizens think that they are spending a
lot of millions for their illusionary projects. Are these just signs of injustices? I can
say these are. Injustices had made our country suffer poverty and left our nation in
the world of violence and disturbance. Well, these are just done by the people who
aim to be in a government position and are attracted to shivering gold. Others will
step on the shoes of somebody in order to reach their ambition. Is that the kind of
living we want to continue? Precisely, all of you will answer NO! No, because we
all want a happy and harmonious life where we have undisturbed tranquility and
peaceful environment, to practice democratic way of government with equality and
balance civil rights and to have the perception of justice for all. We all want a
prosperous and blameless future and a satisfying government handling for the
generations to come.
The question that blocks our minds is can we maintain all of this?... Yes my dear
friends, I have seen the light of justice and equality and freedom and my heart has
been lifted by the vision of democracy, and I shall not rest until my land and the
people shall have been blessed by these, beyond the power of any man or nation to
subvert or destroy. Let us do our part, give out our best and let our voice be heard
all over the universe, let there be peace on earth and good will to all mankind.
Thank you and good day!
