Fearing for their lives
Staging walk outs from schools
Headlines address the current issue of teens
Rallying together, drawing the attention of adults, who have
Not yet taken definitive steps to insure children’s safety in school
Not yet taken definitive steps to insure children’s safety in school
Headlines address the current issue of today’s leaders
Who still refuse to hold themselves and special interest groups
Accountable for undermining the safety of today's youth—
Headlines address the current issue of teen leaders
Doing much more than hoping for change by working
Proactively to mastermind The March For Our LivesSeveral posts back
I stated that today's teens are
Our future voters and leaders
At that time, short sighted naysayers, who care as
Deeply as I do about safeguarding human life, replied:
Young people don't vote
And with that retort ringing in my ears I challenged with:
Please remove your blinders, thus expanding your mindset’s narrow
Range of vision by considering this insight concerning change:
That which was true yesterday
Does not necessarily
Hold true forever
I believe our young revolutionaries will remain pro active—
Not because their cause is just (though it is) but
Because their need for change is personal in nature
The more personal the need, the more each person's mental focus
Concentrates on brainstorming with kindred spirits toward creating
(Rrather than waiting for others to effect) change for the better
But rather than taking my word for resurrecting that deeper
Truth, concerning history repeating itself, let’s consider
The word of two student activists at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High—
The first student, David Hogg, represents one teen who has risen
To lead a team of teen organizers whose impassioned oratory
Inspired the silent majority to march in protest of adult apathy-–
"We are going to make this the voting issue.
We are going to take this to every election, to
Every state and every city."
"Our target is the November elections ..."
—Jaclyn Corin
Student activist—Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
Since speech writers did not pen this rhetoric to be
Recited (and once elected, forgotten), student voices
Personify the heartfelt resurgence of sages past
Alongside David Hogg and Jaclyn Corin
The newest Time magazine cover features #NeverAgain Movement
Teen leaders: Emma González, Cameron Kasky and Alex Wind.
If life is a series of revolving doors offering an
Agile mind a plethora of timely choices to highlight for
The populous to consider ever more deeply then—
Today, I awakened to greater need to pen a post referencing
The bigger picture of this national issue, which dwarfed
Thr brevity of my most recent hospital stay—though
Addressing that topic will prove timely in its own fashion due to
This fact—once again, my personal experience will spotlight
The ways in which Big Business has enslaved the medical profession—
And thus does today’s post address our communal need to reconsider
The classic nature of this deeper truth: Within every generation
A Hitleresque evil eye remains trained upon enslaving us, one and all—
Suggestive of today’s intuitive insight imploring tomorrow’s adults to
Grow up to become ever more aware of this deeper truth than
Had been true of latch-key-children’s hard working parents:
Big Brother, which (has already callously enslaved Big Government to
Cowardly shake in its boots), has focused its evil eye upon
The eventual enslavement of the entire populous of planet Earth
However, once today’s activist teens grow aware of the fact that
Today’s tyrannical threat to life, liberty and the pursuit of
Existential happiness goes by the moniker of Big business, that’s
When tomorrow’s leaders will be less blindly ensnared within
The bottomless pit of terrorized enslavement to the time clock than
Proved true of their parents, whose barely suppressed anger and guilt
Over biting too hungrily into the apple, IBM and whathaveyou before
Gaining a clue as to how quickly creative giants would update machines to
Subtly usurp control over human brains at work, home and wherever we go ...
Seriously, by now, you’d have thunk that our intuitive powers would offer
More than lip service to personal need to better govern our family time
Based in countless books and movies, reflecting this post’s train of thought
And having offered the intuitive portion of my think tank this opportunity
To stand on its soapbox, tis time to consult my calendar, thus ensuring that
My revolving door sees me arriving at today’s appointments on time
