The Quest For Freedom
What if a child dreams of becoming someone other than what society had
Intended?
What if a child aspires to something greater?
What if the first light of knowledge held the seeds of unity?
What if society embraced the hope of the stars?
When a world takes the bread of one and gives to those with many, when
Injustice, inequity, intolerance, and infamy reign, the world darkens in despair.
The foundation of unity held together with the cement of understanding leads
To the budding of the hopes and dreams of every individual.
If the masts of great vessels of the oceans led to the discovery of brave new
Worlds, and if the winds of time held the keys to the fruition of those very
Hopes and dreams, then unity cloaked in the safety of each child would lead to
The discovery within and without. The power of the stars would be in the veins
Of society.
The quest for freedom begins with the heart of man. The enslavement of ideas
And peoples shackle the progress towards liberty. The road to freedom can be
Formed by the commonality of humanity. We hold these truths to be self-
Evident, that every man is created equally with life, liberty, and the pursuit of
Happiness.

THERE IS BUT ONE GOD WHO WATCHES FROM HEAVEN
