This is for the Youth of the World

 

There is one thing I have to say about "Change". It happens with or without us.
That being true, we have had in the last presidential election, a change candidate. He inspired the youth to take note of the world around them and get involved. With Obama becoming president change happened, whether you liked it or agreed it opened the possibility of someone that you believed in could be the leader of the country that represented change.

I just wonder now, has that gate started to close?

Has the youth of world, white, black, or brown looked at the elders and just walked away. Jaded, cynical, and partially hopeless, have they surrendered to the saying...
"It is what it is."

Has the right shown them that fear and hate can trump hope and love any day? Has the left taught them that microwaved politics is the wave of the future and if we don't get what we want when we want...we don't want anymore. No more of if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Well, youth of the world, I'm going to give you a dose of very tough love...

Your predecessors have failed you...you know it, they know it. Their beliefs and fixed stances have trapped them in a cultural, political, and psychological "hamster wheel".
They cant help you anymore...they are either too rigid or too broken.

Its up to you, the present only hope, force adaptation to change before its too late. Don't trust the current demographics of adults to improve anything...the mortgage, the 401k, doctor bills, fear of anything that isn't like them has taken over the narrative.
We need you to start a new narrative, we need you to put each other first. Look at our mistakes and keep them in your mind...don't ignore them...don't allow history to create nostalgia...or you will repeat them.

Don't get bogged down with winning, look to be right, there is a big difference. Don't follow us, take the lead. Don't seek a leader, be the cause!  Contact each other across this globe and unite! Don't cause wars, don't even fight, defend the love of man.  Don't give up, don't ever give up. Don't give in, don't ever give in. That is what we did. Look around, we failed, because anytime change came to our doorstep...we closed the door.

We put hope in a microwave and watched it implode. We gave in to the darkness, please be the light. We put profits before people, don't EVER put a price tag on a man.
Work with each other, for each other. The world offers a BIG pie for you all, share it with one another...we have fought to hoard it for ourselves for so long that only a select few has anything to eat.

I hope that you take what I have said and believe me...you are truly our last hope.
Your predecessor's cup is far too full to have anything fit in it...I hope yours can be open to a new offering...a new world.
