The Solution Human
beware of s/he who tells you that they have
THE ANSWER---
something that we all haven’t seen before
something that we are told by them that we haven’t thought of on our own before
because anyone vain & self-righteous enough who thinks that they can stand atop a hill
or
scream from a podium
solutions & decisions
to the rest of us,
as if we were all just part of their little herd
waiting on their every word,
needs to be taken out
sooner than later,
because no one human being should be doing such for the rest of us---
real positive change in this world comes from
deliberation between individuals,
those who come from all walks of life,
representing them equally
and waiting to hear their say---
to deny us the right to speak
is to deny us a part in human destiny,
and this is outright fascism.
the solution human will be the one who
likes things the way they are,
primarily because the status-quo provides a sort of comfort for them
and complacence, having set in,
wins out---
they feel that they have all the solutions that they need,
and if you criticize them,
you are then asked if you have a better idea,
as if one person should make choices for the rest of us---
better ideas come from better discussions amongst us all,
if you let one person do all the talking
you wind up with a dictator, a prophet, or someone who thinks they are
“god,”
whatever that is.
