Beginning of the End

when i face th eworld
with all of my strengths
and all of my weaknesses
i realize in horror
that if its only just me left
standing for the crowd
that it must truly be
the beginning of the end
for all of the world.

Dani, I read it twice. Then, the lightbulb in my brain flashed!!! You have said well, that if only one person stands up for the belief(s) of the masses, and the masses do not speak up for themselves, THEN, the few in control will dictate the future of the world. Thus, when only one stands up and speaks out, freedoms of the world's citizens, begin to end. Did I get it? Smiling, DAS-J ps I went to highschool in South Florida (1963-1967) with a young man named George Sousa...any relation???
