Glimmer of hope

Today I saw a glimmer of hope. Yes, there really may be hope. Beyond the utter ineptitude of our current political leaders. Past the broken system of greed and human degradation. Even in the shadow of our despicable wars and war machine. I saw a glimmer of hope today. People are beginning to wake up and realize that this is not all that America has to offer. We as a people have a chance to make real change, and reshape this country into what we want it to be. Not what a select wealthy few decide it is. Masses of people marched on Wall Street this weekend, while many of us were still hard at work to keep food on the plate and roofs over our heads. The masses have begun to speak out in America. The masses have begun to come together and raise their voice.

This generation is sick of the bullshit left to us by the last generation. A nation of people full of promise. From the Greatest Generation who overcame the Great Depression and defeated fascism and genocide in Europe to a generation that guaranteed the dream of equality and civil rights, our parents generation have taken this great promise of freedom, liberty, and equality and turned it into a system committed to greed, hatred and destruction. Well not anymore. We are coming of age finally, and we are inheriting a country, a world in worse shape than when the last generation found it. Enough is enough. We must stand up against the global banking cartels. We must stand up to those who value humanity based upon which income bracket they were born into. We must stand up to the looming police state we've inherited.

I saw a glimmer of hope today. This hope was in the symbol of people coming together even though they were harassed, beaten, and arrested by bastards with badges. This hope is something in the undying spirit of Liberty that great thinkers and leaders believed in long before us, but knew it needed to be defended long after we pass. A glimmer of hope, however is not all that it takes. Will we come together and stand up against these tyrants? Will we stand up and become the embodiment of that dream and make a better world for our children? Or leave them this nightmare of banks, police, and greed that we're being given?
