WHERE
ARE VISIONARIES TO MUSTER THE DEFEAT OF TYRANTS?
There can be no doubt that we are ruled
by a sociopath, a lethal megalomaniac.
The air is full of condemnation. Yet, how much serious contemplation and
calling are there for the angry populace to cry out "Enough tyranny
talk! What can we do to nullify this
toxicity before it destroys us? How do
we muster the will to rise up in righteous indignation and stop this evil in
its tracks?"
We have in US overthrown the evil
designs of evil people by the rising up of indignant masses, not by physical
violence, but by passion so strong that it cannot be ignored. In the last decades we have sparked the rise
of civil rights to defeat racist bigots and misanthropes in our Homeland and
called the halt to a vicious war in Far East Asia. Just a couple of examples of the wonders that
can be achieved by masses of right-minded people.
The quest must start by identifying a
visionary, articulate voice that calls charismatically to decency and honor,
framed by motivation of the hoi polloi.
Where is that visionary, charismatic leader to muster us to action?
Now, get off your behinds and take
action, whatever it might be, to defeat the maniacs who forcefully mislead
us! Protest! Write letters to the decision-makers! Beat on the doors of legislature! March on Washington and Mar-a-Lago! Shout so loud that the media, local and
national, cannot ignore us.
I for one have featured myself as having
talent at mustering the muster-able. The
record will show that I have had considerable success at that calling. But, I still live with no delusion that so,
so much work still must be done. Each to his/her own special gift and strength: Habitat for Humanity. American Red Cross. Children's Cancer Society. Everything that leaves a taste of altruism in
the conscience.
So where is the next MLK? The next JFK? The next McCain? The next Rustin or Marshall? The
next Churchill? Surely our generation can put forth just one compelling
individual to galvanize the energy of the masses to take action.
Detractors will likely call me just an
aged-out hippie casting a longing eye back.to the sixties. They will try to outshout with "Your
vision is no better than ours! Your
pining for an outlived reality is un-reality!"
No!
Do not let them discourage or detract you! Action, my friends! Now, who among us will muster the masses to
an uprising of positive initiative, through leadership of irresistible,
charismatic cry?
Will we then defeat the megalomaniacs
and their minions from their terror and free us to resume building the Land of
the Free?
