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. [What if Superman gave an address to the United Nations?] THERE IS BUT ONE GOD WHO WATCHES FROM HEAVEN
