The Struggling Power Of Protest
wikipedia

It begins with the initiation of conversation. The power of conversation is undermined so often and yet it defies the phrase, "the sky is the limit". It's power binds all races, genders, faiths into one family consisted of simple humans fighting like superheros through nonviolent resistance. Through such movements, individual minds grasp the world's internal battles through the roaring, the shouting, the clamoring.

Taking initiative for justice is many times stronger than the denial of reality in which we imprison ourselves to silent thoughts and chain our conscience to the steel bars inside the mind. What will it take to abandon ignorance and be more aware and knowledgeable of our nation?

As kids, we educate ourselves to be knowledgeable of our democracy's function in our lives, and with that we're aware of the people's amendments. Even then, we fail to muster our freedom of speech to voice our suffering in the many moments our nation is drowning.

Did you forget that we are our own military?

I don't recall an instance where sympathy booked the next plane to shower it's light among the struggling. I hope, instead of sympathy, you increase your loyalty, your sensibility, your energy. I challenge you to walk a mile in the shoes of an activist and use the forces of rebellions to take the opportunity for action.

We Heart It
