People always tell me that things can’t be done. They always say it’s impossible. They always say that we just shouldn’t try because nothing we do will change things. I love proving them wrong. I love daring them to show me a lost cause. I’ve seen a lot of them in my life. Back during The War I always knew it was a lost cause because they sent us. In a lot of ways, were all a lost cause back then, but we never got lost. I’m real proud of that.
Some stand up and do things, sometimes great, sometimes terrible, and sometimes both. Some sit back in their chairs and complain about everything others do. Some shine for the universe to see. Some throw rocks at things that shine. We are a shining city on a hill, where everyone can see us, a beacon of freedom welcoming everyone looking for a new life. And we walk into the darkness, our lanterns filled with that light.
Long ago, the Kings made laws to tell us what we couldn’t do. We declared our Independence and we wrote new laws to serve and to protect us from those who would hurt us. The moment the law gets in the way of what is right, the moment that it begins to think it is more important than the people it protects, the law has to make way for what is right. And if it’s not willing to, I am willing to step up and make it. I have done it before. I will do it again.
What do I want? Honestly, I’m pretty easy to please. A party with a bunch of pretty girls on a lakeshore will just about cover it. A warm bed, with a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead to fill it with after the party would be nice too. And I’d love some kind words. That’s not too much to ask for is it? Of course, I also like seeing new things and going places I’ve never been before, so I go do that too. It’s real interesting to see what’s out there.
There is good and evil in the universe. Freedom and slavery. It is up to every generation to win their freedom or fall into slavery. My generation picked a side and we fought for our freedom. In generations to come, those who read this will be forced to pick a side as well. Will you fight for freedom? Or surrender to slavery? That will be your choice. The problem is that is evil speaks with soft words that deceive many. Study, learn, and make your choice well.
