Freedom is one of the expensive commodities in this world, mostly paid for with guns and blood of the patroits. Though it is the esence of every man to be free, the right is like a myth to most pple; to be thought of but not experienced. But the day when we all can say we are free was best described by HIS EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE when he said;
"That untill the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: That untill there are no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation: That untill the colour of man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eye: That untill the basic human right are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That untill that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be persued but never attained: And untill the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in angola, in Mozambique and in South africa in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed: Untill begoty and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self interest have been replaced tolerance and good will: Untill all Afrcans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven: Untill that day the african continent will not know peace: We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil"
Untill that day that all men can say we are free, I can never be free, untill that day when all can say, express and show what they think without fear, I can never be totally free. I can never be what I ought to be untill you are what u ought to be.
