An Observation

An enigma penetrates the heart of society, slowly moving among its people, unseen by most, but noticed by few. We are far too busy with our day-to-day lives to notice what is happening right before our very own eyes. We have become complacent and agree with the majority, or possibly the minority, since the majority does not see what is put before them. Changes take place, time passes, the changes become more prevalent, but many still do not see and the ones that do are powerless, afraid to make themselves heard for fear of repercussions. All of a sudden one day our society has become what we thought would never have been a possibility, we are now caught up in it, but it’s too late to stop. The damage is done, it’s massive it’s a power, that we can only fight through desperate means. All we can do now is destroy by means of war. What a pity we didn’t notice this brazen intruder come walking through our doors, quietly, without notice, taking over our households, dominating our children, manipulating our thoughts, creating havoc among our friends. We are treated- pardon the cliché, “like puppets on a string” when those that we entrusted to take care of our best interests are in fact thee “puppets on a string”, doing exactly as they are told by the unseen few. What must we do as a society to protect our children from those whose interests are about the almighty dollar. What will we do? Will we stand tall and speak out, will we talk about our true feelings or will we sit trying to keep a low profile, fearsome, wondering what the future will bring. Do we allow others to step forward while we take a step back, reaping any benefits that might come forth by those who have the courage to speak out. Think! Do you have what it takes to step up to the plate and make yourself known, if so “I Applaud You (May 6/2007)
