The Lone Voice

The Lone voice

Written by Salome Akwi

When you remain silent as injustice is exercised, you are as guilty as the perpetrator. When someone is wrongly accused and you know the facts, speak out no matter the consequences because if you don’t, then your conscience will never let you rest. 

Maybe in your neighborhood, things keep getting lost and everyone starts complaining and pointing fingers to the wrong person, yet you know that your own son/daughter is the guilty party. Find a way to expose them so that the innocent person is relieved and your child may get redemption through the shame. 

You may witness a step child being mistreated in the absence of the father, speak out let the truth be known so that the child is liberated. You hear a deadly plot against someone you know is completely innocent, please warn that person secretly because you will have saved a life. Acts of bravery are difficult to perform but very possible only if you choose to be that Lone voice.

These injustices are various and happen right in-front of us; they may seem minor but it affects the society in which we live.

and could resist to capture this memory.  

So, even when the world is falling apart around us, there is always something special in the vicinity just waiting to be noticed and appreciated. I have this saying that i tell myself "Call Me Bad for the Right Thing" This, helps me speak out even if all the voices around me are silenced by fear. So Rescue someone Today and Don't be Afraid to be that Lone Voice.

Enjoy with me!!
