A Crusader's Conscience Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

I am a crusader of conscience
From the deep of the rain forest
Let my voice be heard
In support of what is right
Against what is wrong
In support of fairness
Against victimisation
In support of unity
Against disunity
In support of selflessness
Against corruption

But first let my soul be continually right
That I partake not in what I condemn
That I speak not in envy
That I receive not from the product of corruption
That I mingle not with the gathering of evil men
That I give not my consent to their counsel
This is the conscience of the crusader.
