Time for Action

There comes a time for action. When words will no longer suffice and beautiful rhetoric must turn into visible action. It seems that it is the time for the oppressed masses of America. We must move from the shackles of individualism and embrace a collective ideology. The American system holds it's allegiance to profits and the vulnerabilities of the masses are simply ignored. We must face the reality that the American dream, like Malcolm X articulated, is nothing more than an American nightmare. We are all living in the midst of a nightmare and have become accustomed to seeing hypocrisy. Cynicism has become the outlook of most unable to envision a better day. However, the time is now for action to organize and bring an end to the status quo. The status quo is the enemy of the masses because it convinces us that change will occur through accepted means at some later day. That is a lie. Change will only occur when we make it occur-when we stop allowing for America to operate business as usual. We all must remember that peace is overrated if it only occurs with our willingness to submit to evil. The time for action is now!
