What do your actions say?

The suffering of the masses deserves a response. What will we do? What will be our reasons for not speaking out about oppression? How will we sooth our conscience when we are reminded that we did nothing? That it was ambition over everything. This is not to say that ambition is bad, simply raising the question where will our ambition lead us? To the accumulation of materials that depreciate once purchased? Or, will our ambition connect us with a revolutionary consciousness that will inspire us to fight for change? These are the questions we must wrestle with. The question of who, will we be? How, will we be remembered? What, will our legacy be? Will most continue to live there lives for the building of monuments to self? So that we can brag about the things we have purchased and beauty of our materials? Hopefully, we will wake up and recognize that there is only one question worth answering. Whose side were you on? Was it the oppressed or the oppressor? Was it the powerful or the powerless? Our actions decide where we stand not our words? What do your action say? Let's Get Free!
