Dear Freedom Newspaper,
May i humbly accept the charge given to me by Ambassador Sey,in regard to his appreciation of my fellow countryman and his former school principal.This is indeed a great and unexpected honour.The gentleman is not known to me, but the high esteem and memory ,held by one such as Mr.Sey ,will surely travel to him ..where ever his domain should lay.Thankyou on behalf of.. England. May i also echo his praise for one........ Pa Nderry Mbai....
It is very rare to encounter a man of such high principal , passion and belief, in his persuit of such a worthy cause.....as defending the integrity of freedom in all its glory....It is the greatest responsibility that any human can cherish.
Freedom is proberbly the most powerful word in the English language......it is the crown of all crusades throughout the ages.....It is the banner of all marches for Justice in history ......It has been the battlecry that rallied men and women to fight for progress for 2000 years.Millions have died in its name ,so that those who came after could live in peace.How fragile peace its....how noble its cause...how difficult to achieve...how difficult to maintain....Will it ever be final and everlasting ?
Martin Luther King had that dream.........They shot him for it...how foolish of man to think you can shoot a dream with a bullet.John Lennon wrote a song....Give Peace a chance.....They shot him.....How foolish of man to think you could kill a song with a bullet.John F.Kennedy offered reconcilliation to a nation which was fighting for dignity after a senseless War when he said ..I am a Berliner......They shot him for it..How foolish of man, to think you could kill words ,with a bullet.
Man has achieved many wonderous things...but he is still to learn that the bullet can not change a dream, neither can it kill a song, neither can it silence words.Give Peace a chance ,so that Dreams can fly high and the Words can live on.....Thats all we are saying.... is it not enough...?
Thankyou Ambassador Sey...I am humbled by your kind words........Michael.
