It is hard to admit, but it's true. The things that interest me in life has to be more real, more comprehensible. I feel. I do not form strong opinions, but I feel very strongly the result of circumstances. This gives me a personal indication of what's right and wrong in the world.
I admire people who have a lot to say for the people. I admire those who have strong views. But I have my little own stances where it is applicable to me, my family and friends..maybe my nation. I cannot move mountains, but I rather talk and have opinions on the little things I can do or change.
Having said that, I have to say people move me. Nothing moves me more than seeing siblings spending the quiet morning together, the undying support a wife gives her husband as he is held in detention, the emotions of a nation moved by the words of one man.
I came across this video, Yes, we can, a song out of the words of Mr Barack Obama. And it got me thinking about our home grown song, Here in our home. I was wondering, why did it trigger different emotions in me? I guess it's because, over there, hope is real. Change is plausible. The nation has a voice that do not fall on deaf ears!
Still, I like Here in my home..:) Makes me remember the good things we can still hold on to.. Perhaps the arts might hold the answer to our woes.
Enjoy!
Yes we can
Here in my home
I love my home after all...:)
