"Leadership is mostly synonymous with democracy
It has absolutely nothing to do with autocracy
Leadership is not a dealership
But rather, a constant sailing ship
Leadership for us young people means being active
Being socially selective
Less of subjectivity and more of objectivity
Young leaders oozing positivity
Who show up for the greater good
Who do what’s right
Leadership for us young people means accountability
Bringing our leaders to book
They might have us under the hook
But I believe it is our right to be aware of what’s happening around us
August 23rd
The pen bled
Thousands of youth showed up to vote
It is again time to show up
With more of those energies
Incorporating a variety of synergies
Just to hold them accountable
To see if they’re indeed reliable
If they’re able to keep things stable
Why accountability?
One might wonder
Well, that’s not much of a bother
As youth, the decisions made today have an impact on our future
Decisions made about education, health or economic policies will shape the world we will grow old in
Hence the importance of accountability
As youth, we are also likely to be affected by decisions made in the present about education and job opportunities
And those are the harsh realities
When we ensure that our leaders practice democracy and transparency, we help foster a sense of civic engagement and participation
Paving way for emancipation
When we take it upon ourselves to make sure that our leaders are open and honest
It encourages other youth to get involved in communities and make their voices heard
It limits the bad
Thus giving us a sense of responsibility and the desire to make a difference
According to your preference
Remember,
Accountability
Transparency
Democracy
The keys to a healthy and wealthy nation."~ Chidadiso Mbazo
