Who Are The Civilised?

WHO ARE THE CIVILISED?

Have you ever thought about the ones we can regard as the civilized?
Are they the rich, the sophisticated, the well-dressed man with the white-collar job
Or they are the politicians or those in the corridor of power
Can we say the man that takes his family to fast food restaurants is civilized?
May be those who have been to school and now speaks Queen’s English
Yes those who have left the shores of their countries for another are the ones
But…………… let’s take time to think
Can a Professor who does not obey traffic light be called Civilised?
Does civility include fighting and hitting others when annoyed?
What about the sophisticated who has no regard for the Rule of Law
Is the Lawyer who litters the road with his used tissue civilized in your opinion
Then there is the rich who tramples on the right of others,
What about the boss who never admits his mistakes
Are all these examples of civilized beings?
So I can say we are having a re-think about the so-called civilized people
Civility starts with us, We all have to work together to achieve a civilized Nation
No jumping of traffic light, Stop indiscriminate refuse disposal
No jumping of queue in the bank, jamb office, petrol station
The next time you do any of these remember you are an illiterate and uncivilised
So I plead with you, obey laws governing our society,
Let us phase out the 10% syndrome, Be courteous to others,
Let accountability start with us, then let’s demand it from our leaders
Remember, someone who never went to school and does these is civilised
As you do all these and many more, I welcome you to the world of the CIVILISED
