Tools of Our Voices Ac4realpoetry
We have very powerful tools in which to exact change
So why do we continue to allow ourselves and the ground we walk on to be misused
Mostly plain old stubborn ignorance and selfishness, but for the benefit of the doubt, we’ll just call it,
“The lack of realization of our true tools and powers”
Togetherness is one of our greatest powers!
We have each other
We have great mind's that drive the thoughts that become the words that have changed the way we function together as well as separately in this world.
The utterance of many
We have voices
With the power of many voices, mountains can be crumbled into pebbles. A person singing at a high pitch can break glass or even your eardrums. Words, seen, spoken, or heard continuously can mend a place in time that is never forgotten, making them or that which is spoken of “Matter”
But these days, we have tools that allow our voices to be heard all over the world, with future possibilities of being heard throughout the Universes, tools that allow us to gather together at the click of a button or “At the sound of one’s voice,” allowing those of other cities, states, and even other countries, to share our knowledge, wisdom, thoughts, and opinions
We have Technology
We have Personal Computers; Desktops, Laptops, Tablets, and Cellphones
We have cameras attached to our devices that allow us to stand face to face where ever we may be
We have the internet
We have, “Social Media”
Yet if it isn’t either, a game, some comforting philosophy, doesn’t appease our sense of self-gratification, causes us to realistically spring from our comfort zones and actually become a part of the changes conducive to a better life for all; we overlook it or discard it as lacking in relevance to the effect of our everyday living, dividing us for the conquer
For example:
If I as one person scream no, and a thousand others scream a louder, yes, yet I have a thousand friends or followers who say nothing, it is more likely that,my nay, will not be heard, and the sounds of my protest will be overwhelmingly shrouded by the voices of a thousand Yeah Sayers. If this is a choice of life or death for myself or others protected by a cause I believe in, to not have more voices in my favor in such a case, could prove to be fatal
So why do we continue to allow ourselves and the ground we walk on to be misused
Mostly plain old stubborn ignorance and selfishness, but for the benefit of the doubt, we’ll just call it,
“The lack of realization of our true tools and powers!”
But if we do not start allowing ourselves to use the tools of which we were given properly, they will be separately lost forever, rendering us individually Powerless
We have very powerful tools in which to exact change
Togetherness is one of our greatest powers
The utterance of many
We have each other
We have voices
