ADVOCATE OF CHANGE*
Stop generating hate
& be instead
An example of love
Learn the truth
Stand up, stand out
Question what you see
& what you hear
Don't follow the masses
Or get lost among the sheep
Be an advocate of change
An ambassador of life
Be unique
Be bold
Be wise
Speak up, speak out
Don't press mute
Don't press stop
Don't ignore the consequential facts
Disturbing though they may be
Reach up, reach out
Take the higher ground
Don't give in
To the fear they feed you
Fear is a mind killer
A means of control
It shuts down the rational
Starts up manic delirium
Delusion & panic
Yes, we live in a world of terror
A nightmare of pain
Of chaos & war
We cannot let it overcome
We cannot let it win
Where darkness reigns
Be a light
Promote love
Peace
Truth
Unity & hope
Show strength
Show courage
In the face of this adversity
& dream
Dream big
Dream life
Dream love
Dream as one so that together
We can make the dreams reality

*I wrote this on the morning of the Paris terror attacks. There is so much in this world meant to incite fear in us. We have to be stronger than the fear, stronger than the hate & stronger than the lies. We can't simply turn a blind eye to what we don't want to know. Nothing will ever change that way.
