Let Go....

Hey, let go.... We have heard this a number of times. Some times we heed and other times, we remain adamant; determined to see the end of the road. For the journey is not one that should be abandoned..... So let's stop for a second here, or maybe a minute'll be better..... Why should I let go? Was I holding on to any thing in the first place; faith is waning and is almost a long lost folktale yet I hear the words "let go"..... Where are the promises? Yes.....sirens blaring all around, screams of joy as the words spew out of the mouth of the "worthy" leader: "I will ensure that ......bla bla bla bla...." but it does end there. He walks the pathways of our hunger stricken community identifying with us. Yes indeed, identifying with us. Now if that was just pretence, I cannot tell but what I do know is that he came and identified with us in the midst of the pain and suffering.... He walked where we walk and felt our backs burning with the glare of the midday sun. So convinced I saunter out, to defend him so the promises made will come raining down... Please who has an umbrella? Oh yes....a big basin or better still a Gp tank will do the trick so that I can collect the rain of promises..... So where is this call to let go coming from? Do you know what I have passed through? Where you there when he identified with us in the bush paths..... Just a moment, why am I even asking you? What of the one who promised? Why is he not saying anything? Has he suddenly gone deaf, blind and dumb? Is he not aware that we are suffering and dying? Of a truth, He knows....!!!
