UNITY

The world has come a long way. It is nice to see unity amongst fellow man, especially when it comes to the frivolous white and black division of the past. It is good the old mindset in the western world is diminishing. The wounds caused by discrimination are slowly healing in different parts of the world. Take for example, South Africa, which has changed since the rise of Nelson Mandela in the early 90's, gone are the days of apartheid. Where oppression was as relevant as the sun rising. The spirit of South Africa has been raised, and the fact that they are hosting the World Cup shows how far they have come.

Unity is needed to face any challenges in the world. The wounds of 9/11 would have been permanent, if it was not for unity. Americans got together and the healing begun slowly but surely. The recent calamity in Haiti was atrocious, but seeing the world unite for their cause is something very positive. People from all corners of the world are coming together to bring hope to the victims of Haiti.  Haiti will rise from the dust, and the tears from the earthquake will turn from tears of sorrow to tears of joy after a battle well won.

ARISE

Arise son, rise from your slumber. The world needs healing, start believing.

Unravel those hidden talents from the grave,  as the world crave.

Arise nation, as terrorism is a common denominator in the modern world, we adore heroism.

Our dear soldiers, we cheer you from afar as you risk your lives.

Our hearts pound with every move you make, and every breath you take in the battle field, with hope your families will see your next breath, in the Christmas winter.

God bless you soldier, the soldier we truly love

Arise church,  come out of the four walls and fight morality in our society.

Church, don't even dare try to scare the lost souls, welcome everyone with love

Arise people, we heard him say, "The sun shone brightly down on me as if she were shining for me alone" Yes! It is true, the sun knows your significance and potential. Only if we can live as one with no prejudice, we can truly see the power of unity.


Arise, I say arise.
