Change of Person

.....we have heard about the French Bastille
 and America's Boston Tea Party - revolutions 
that reminded those at the top that those at the bottom 
are human too, feeling love, pain, hunger and contentment. 
You yourself are a walking revolutionary in the making. The 
moment you become true to yourself, you cause ripples in the 
minds of those around you. They fight against everything
that you have become. They fight against the new you....

Kp Nunez July 20, 2015 at 2:49 PM Very much true. There is something about change in a person, especially if it is for that better, leaving those around him under the same old situation, creating a chasm. I like how you worded your write, Teddy. Congrats! Kim :-) Teddy Kimathi July 21, 2015 at 12:51 AM Thank you for your applause Kim! *^_^*
