Keep dreaming of the day
when this will not be a relative democracy any longer, masking an oligarchy of power and wealth
when every vote will truly count because it is counted and elects our officials
when every person will truly have equal respect and an equal chance
when every citizen will have what he/she needs as a human right
when every child will grow up with truly equal opportunities to grow
when all will have enough and the equal opportunities to grow beyond enough
Keep dreaming of the day
when we will live in a true democracy and not just a system of unchecked capitalism
when the well-being of everyone will replace greed as a national value
when people will embrace those different from themselves as treasured equals
when government will truly represent ALL the people and work on the behalf of ALL
when justice will be equal and injustice no longer a tool to elevate some while holding others down
when we will treat God's creation, our HOME, with respect, and stop polluting, wasting and
destroying it for our own, short term and short sighted gain
Keep dreaming of the day
Keep voting toward the day
I will keep writing, speaking, preaching, teaching, demonstrating and working toward that day
It will TRULY be THE ACCEPTABLE DAY OF THE LORD.
The day when THE DREAM becomes OUR REALITY.
Pastor Jamie
