We the people, ignored the signs
It’s been only 6 months and “we the people” has a whole new meaning. Instead of representing hope and promise for every man woman and child it only reflects dashed visions of the change we were told was coming. Rather than integrity, transparency and hard work for the sake of the people, it is apparent that this only includes the people within certain circles that have been approved by the hierarchy.
Still, there is hope in the distance, that is, if it is not a mirage and it’s already too late. We the United States citizens need to stand up and reclaim what our founders fought and died for. If we sit idly by and wait for a cue from above, for someone prominent to take the lead then I assure you our mirage will become a permanent fixture and one we can never reach.
There is a saying that if something is to good to be true, it probably isn’t. Just 6 plus months ago our cities, airwaves, papers and computers were inundated with signs for hope and change. There were also many signs for a solid an alternative direction but just enough votes were cast that decided the country would follow this new road. It almost seems unfair that this margin of people could steer the rest of us in such a polar opposite direction but those are the rules. Elections have consequences and even many of the once hopeful are now regretting their decisions.
Just as before there are signs for the future, directional arrows to the prosperous ways America once knew. Looking back they appear loud and obvious but this time we can’t afford to only give a passing glance. These quiet reminders are still calling but this time they need your voice.
If “we the people” means anything to you it should at least remind us that it won’t get done unless we do it. If we just pass the responsibility to future generations or worse yet, leave it up to the current politicians then we have no one else to blame.
