The right choice stands upright,
right before us
light beckons us
so does dark
How will we choose?
To choose dark
to continue to slide back
on the long rung of the ladder of despair
away from light
deeper into debilitating darkness?
Tufia kwa!
Between dark and light,
the choice stands clear;
Choose right!
To choose right is to choose light,
for light is life,
To choose light is to choose to arrest the rot,
to end the decay that destroys and limits us
for light will make us grow and glow, for light is right and is life.
The true voice within each us tells to choose right and live!
The voices of evil, of stasis, ring out loud and rowdy,
trying to seduce and confuse us as they seek to sell other routes, routes that will only further entrap, rout and reduce us.
Let us say no to these voices,
let us resist the lure of such voices and remain obedient to the right voice of reason and choose right this time
so that we may grow, and blossom and glow.
