My Vision
Twenty years later
I shall be called a writer
Not a waiter
I shall be called a freedom fighter
A writer who has fought bad leadership
For the good of the people
A writer with bad rule pimples
And the murder of the innocent people dimples
I shall be remembered for a consistent job
I shall not be remembered for sycophancy
I shall not be remembered as a trembling writer who imparts lies
I shall not be remembered for self exile
I shall not be remembered for supporting a rebellion
I shall not be remembered for cheating the people to win international recognition
I shall be remembered only if I meet the standards of a true writer
If I have worked to leave a legacy
Not to keep a political privacy
I shall be remembered only for standing with the people all the time
Not being behind my tribe but correcting all sorts of jealousy
Towards any tribe which will always create tribal hatred
It is my role to warn the people of it because this is how we shall be upright
In twenty years time
I shall be called a liberator
Not a killer
I shall not be associated with a lie which has torn the nation apart
I shall be called a writer
When my age will mean what it is to earn all the respect the world wants to give me
You will be proud of me but I shall not be proud of myself
