                                             ETHIOPIA MUST NEVER FALL

                          

“Selam!” my people, am sorry for this uncouth attitude that has caused you to worry much. The silence has now been broken, let us march with zeal to redeem our Ethiopia and attain our visualized utopia.

Ethiopia! You must never crumble, for even the colonialists could not scramble for your land. Do not allow ethnicity to supersede your dignity, for it will cause instability. Are the Tigray people, Oromo and others not children of one womb? Why do you want us to have many tombs? Peace! My brethren, pieces we do not wish witness, hatred we wish discarded, love we wish spread.

Are you not the seat of African Union? Why are you showcasing disunion? Is this not giving the serpent dominion over our human principles? Folks! No! No! We cannot watch and assume, we rather thatch our leaking hut but not seek pleasure in our restless hearts. Where will we get coffee Arabica from? Or you want us to have toffee for our breakfast and cold seasons?

 We need the unity, the one showed to the world when famine stroke in those yester years. For us, tears we shed no more, our main desire is tranquility and stability, sustainability is your portion but for bloodshed, seek an abortion.
