Fear Part II – 2014

Fearlessness is the flip side of fear. The pen's might is my best and only possible weapon or justice is a myth. The gun is mightier than the pen or the sword, and the mind is still a terrible thing to waste. Justice is for the downtrodden, otherwise what's a heaven for. When the poor or powerless are targeted and abused, killed, maimed, emotionally crippled, then heroines and heroes are necessary.

There is no money in it, fighting for those who do not understand their entrapment. There is reward in following ones conscience and one's beliefs. Lenin had one thing right, there is no change without struggle. Peace comes after the war. Dead in Michigan from white males, dead all over the country from white males, black dead in the past and unreported as white males. The war is a very real thing. People are angry white and black and hispanic and native american, and chinese, all U.S. Citizens not happy with their not receiving their piece of the respect pie. The right to live free of fear must become the priority without the excuses.

Advancement is slow or nonexistent for many, white included. It is no longer a race issue, it is a justice and fairness issue. We all pay taxes, we all deserve a return of dollars to our neighborhoods, not just for the rich, the uber rich, and the filthy rich. The military has had its share of the U.S. dollar.  

The people will make signs and march but ultimately, justice has to become visible and transparent. It will happen. Not anarchy, order and equity under the laws of man, god, and nature. Natural law is real. Mother wit and street knowledge is real. Never to forgive, never to forget is a valid defense. All we have to do now, the challenge for the hour, is to make the transition from the oral tradition to avid readership. Literacy is the guardian & keeper of true freedom from fear. - I'm just sayin'.
