Candidacy - A poem by LLC student David Balosa (Cohort 14)

David Balosa has shared with us a poem which is a reflection on achieving candidacy.


Candidacy (poem)

My mentors—on diversity for human dignity,
I honor you!
My friends—in unity and fraternity,
I love you!
My candidacy, not a rarity
Except a path in scarcity of diversity and solidarity,
A march for leadership for right authority, right priority.
A right community smells equity, responsibility, human dignity.
Your support, your insight, your trust – integrity, fraternity, universal
You have given your sagacity.
Mankind can invest, inquest for water in the sun, in the moon—
Find plenty of it there while unable to find it here on earth the room
And the land of thirsty men, women, children, garden –
Just plan of rascality and adversary toward diversity and human dignity.
May the Lord of lords –his honor, his love cover you all.
May more sagacity come your way without delay
May we all in this hall of celebration of my candidacy—
Pray and say: invest in the success of diversity, equity and human dignity.
