This
is the only earth we will ever have and nobody in the UK is working
to improve it. This apathy is happening in our time and all we seem
to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us. And the
fact is that everyone thinks of changing the world whilst no-one
thinks about changing themselves. In
the UK we have appointed climate change fence sitters and long grass
kickers who are knowingly achieving nothing in our time and this is a
conscious choice. We cannot stand by and watch them put old wine into new bottles.We cannot afford to let them get away with this.
Nobody
cares about helping the economy to thrive because there is no such
thing as a free market anywhere. The old assembly lines are gone and
nothing is taking their place. Anarchy now rules the streets and
murder is the daily prospect to wake up to. Knowing that the diesel
engine is harmful we let them continue to kill us. The moral
foundation stone of our democracy, built by thousands of the fallen,
and all of their sacrifice and labour has crumbled to dust.
Things
have gone so far wrong that it has become clear that they are not
right. And yet our leaders keep on doing the same things over and
over again dancing around their handbags, expecting different
results. They are following the top dogs and failing the underdogs.
They are the fools who think themselves wise, but the wise know that
they are the fools. The difference between genius and stupidity is
that genius has its limits. There is no longer any collective
leadership and no social cohesion.
People
are not put first because greed and inequality is now the order of
the day, with victimisation and blame the main weapon employed as the
stick with which to beat us. We do not comfort the ailing nor let
them that they are not alone. We no longer have a voice, we are made
vulnerable economically with no one to protect us. Our benefit system
has become a wall around our hard nosed leaders and stands against
the people. Society is not rewarding the most vulnerable, but is
exposing them instead. The wealth exists but is held greedily by the
power abusers. We are living in the antithesis of the Common Good, a
truth with no value filled with scepticism and irony.
History
is on the side of of positive social progress, creating a sharing
economy and change for our community must be our part of it. We have
to be able to see through the fiction of having everything that we
want dangled in many colours before our eyes because all of that
stuff is a facade. We need to see things as they are, not as we are.
We need to move away from our emerging dystopia. Like riding a
bicycle to keep our balance we have to keep moving forward. In a time
of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary step. Rebuilding trust
in our system and restoring public morality is the first job of work.
Nobody need wait a moment to start improving the world.
The
first act to re awaken a great country is to rise up and say who we
are and what we stand for. If we do not stand for something we will
fall for anything. And that does not include living in an unfair and
unjust economic system which is not a democracy. We have achieved
nothing of worth in our lifetimes and all we have is hope to save us
– and this is not enough for our children. The good that we do may
be forgotten tomorrow, but we should be striving to do good anyway.
We need to create a new society with a certain equality between its
members aimed to forge a new republic.
Our
young people are all meant to shine. They have the courage that
counts. The courage to grow up and to be who they really are. To take
their place as leaders and have a social impact. To step up and take
back their heritage. To be unfettered by the debts imposed by the
elite and be free to enjoy the fruits of their labour. They are young
enough to think they can put this shattered world back together and
push the human race forward. From the ashes of our despair a fire
shall be woken and a light from the shadows will spring. It is never
too late to be what we might have been.
