LISTEN CLOSELY
If you listen closely enough during the silences you will hear the drums of Truth's battle cry.
You will hear thousands upon thousands of our children's souls screaming "Freedom" from behind cold, retributive and prejudicial prison bars.
Listen
closely
And you will hear in a resounding voice truth's proclamation declaring war against societal inequities and falsehoods. A proclamation stipulating there's a way to effectively combat the tangible and intangible elements of poverty and to make the invisible citizens visible.
There's a way for health care to be universal in America without the principles of socialism being applied, there's a way for capitalism to thrive without the financial exploitation of the worker.
There's a way for the American dream to be realized before we reach an age too old to substantially enjoy it.
There's a way of reducing the prison population in America, taking the US off the top of the list of having the most prisoners in the world.
There's a way of snatching our children from the claws of unrelenting gangs and placing them back on top of the world's best educated.
Listen
Closely
And you will hear truth loudly proclaim that you are a soldier within an army dedicated to progressive social movement.
We are all soldiers in this army whether we like it or not.
To what battalion do you belong?
If you've agreed with anything I've said then I think that question has been answered.
Contact me, for we have work to do.
