The sun at dawn.
That coffee in the pot.
A red light.
Wait.
In line for a meal.
In line for a job.
In line to vote.
Wait.
To be seen.
To be recognized.
To be respected.
Wait.
Freedom.
Equality.
Justice.
Peace.
Wait.
It’s easy to sit back and not do anything when you have everything.
It’s easy to dismiss the tears, the fears, the anguish of people not like you.
It’s easy to live in fear of change.
It’s easy not to see, not to hear, not to feel when doing so means sharing this world.
It’s easy to tell others to wait when you are in power.
It’s easy to wait.
Wait.
Why wait?
This nation of ours has wrestled and fought over the timetable of freedom that it laid down in its foundational documents.
It has fought every step of the way to allow those words of freedom to ring true.
You would think that a people whose credo is freedom for all would be cheerful and grant this to be true.
Yet here we are today in the first part of the 21st century in America, and a good 40% of American’s do not agree with the Constitution.
My freedom is more important than your freedom.
My power is sanctified; I will not share of my abundance to you the takers.
It’s bizarre that a people who declare themselves defenders of liberty and justice only mean themselves.
No one else need apply.
Wait?
No, we ain’t waiting no more.
The Freedom Train is pulling out of the station.
We got a few more weeks till this election, and we are moving on.
Freedom won’t wait.
Freedom like a falling rain will change due to the season.
In the Winter, it will fall like snow, slow and beautiful.
During the Spring long and drenching.
In the summer, hot and fast, the thunder rolls across the hills and echoes in the valleys.
There is no need to wait.
Everyone has a ticket to get on the freedom train.
It’s up to each of us to get on board or not.
To get your ticket punched, all you have to do is vote.
Don’t wait.
Vote.
Peace
