The Power Abusers

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.
