Connected

“People have had enough, both socially and politically. This is becoming ever clearer. The anger, the sense of mass injustice, is rising. But, for the first time on our history, ordinary people are taking matters into their own hands, in a constructive, rather than destructive, way… Allow people to feel that they have a voice, and rights, and, come the Revolution, the lampposts will be empty!”

I hope you enjoy this inspiring post, which was a balm for my optimistic, yet somewhat down-trodden, soul. I, too, feel the stirrings of the disenchanted and know we each have more power than we dare to believe. And I, too, am hoping for a revolution!

As a US citizen, I breathe in the pervasive air of injustice, anger and apathy every day. My jaw drops when I watch the national news and hear people with power spew testaments to their profound detachment from us “regular folk” and from those who live in poverty. (Yes, there are starving children, right here in America!) And then there are the verbal assaults on women and the regular reminders of the physical abuse they endure every day, in places near and far.

One world, one people, one voice… Alien Aura’s “Connected” is an eloquent reminder to speak up!
