   With Jesus Christ as my Savior, I share these lyrics from Cat Stevens – since the inspired message applies to All:
   Changes IV:

   Don’t you feel a change a coming
   From another side of time
   Breaking down the walls of silence
   Lifting shadows from your mind
   Placing back the missing mirrors
   That before you couldn’t find
   Filling mysteries of emptiness
   That yesterday left behind

   And we all know it’s better
   Yesterday has past
   Now let’s all start the living
   For the one that’s going to last
   And we all know it’s better
   Yesterday has past
   Now let’s all start the living
   For the one that’s going to last

   Don’t you feel the day is coming
   That will stay and remain
   When your children see the answers
   That you saw the same
   When the clouds have all gone
   There will be no more rain
   And the beauty of all things
   Is uncovered again

   Don’t you feel the day is coming
   And it won’t be too soon
   When the people of the world
   Can all live in one room
   When we shake off the ancient
   Shake off the ancient chains of our tomb
   We will all be born again
   Of the eternal womb

   Paula Cole: Be Somebody

   I want to be somebody
   I want to make a difference

   Little boy caught in a drive-by
   Witnessed the killer who made his daddy die,
   And ’cause he identified and signed the dotted line,
   He could feel it in his stomach, he signed away his life
   Little boy who once was the leader of his class
   The little source of joy, always neatly dressed
   Now would hang his head and be left crying at his desk,
   Was found with his mother, lying in her lap
   With two bullets in his chest

   And, oh my god, what is this madness?
   I will not let it kill by gladness
   And,oh my god, what is this madness?
   My joy inside will send this message

   I want to be somebody
   I want to make a difference,
   For we all are children of the Mother
   I want to be somebody
   I want to make a difference,
   For we all are children of the Father

   Outspoken man, leading sisters and brothers,
   Picked himself up from hustling,drugs and gutters
   Doing time on the inside, he found a higher power
   Now, back with a mission to help us help each other

   Respected from bourgeoisie to homeless in the street
   From universities, Africa, the Middle East
   And through the threats of death he spoke truth and set men free
   But the power of the truth made enemies of the weak
   He was killed by his own people

   And, oh my god, what is this madness?
   I will not let it kill my gladness
   And, oh my god, what is this madness?
   My joy inside will send this message

   I want to be somebody
   I want to make a difference,
   For we all are children of the Mother
   I want to be somebody
   I want to make a difference
   for we all are children

   Ignite This Fire inside, this light that is the Truth
   Shake off the system’s chains, no longer be their fool
   In the face of brutality, show the other cheek
   Trigger-happy policing will never kill our dignity

   And, oh my god, what is this madness?
   I will not let it kill my gladness
   And, oh my god, what is this madness?
   My joy inside will send this message

   Lift up your heart and See
   Open your heart and See
   Lift up your voice and Sing…

   I want to be somebody
   I want to make a difference,
   For we all are children of the Mother
   I want to be somebody
   I want to make a difference,
   For we all are children of the Father

   Thank you for sharing your dedication, insights and goals – as a means of inspiring awakened actions.

   Gandhi: “Nonviolence does not mean meek submission to the will of the evil doer, but it means the pitting of one’s whole soul against the will of the tyrant. Working under this law of our being, it is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honour, his religion, his soul and lay . . . the foundations for that empire’s fall or its regeneration.” http://www.facebook.com/pages/Americans-Who-Tell-the-Truth/387832150829

   Gibran:
   And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree,
   So the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all.

   Jesus:
   Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
   Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted.
   Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
   Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall be filled.
   Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
   Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
   Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
   Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
   Matthew 5:5

   Do you believe in speaking Truth to Power – no matter what level of stature the powered hold? Do you believe in Fighting the Good Fight – without backing down, regardless of the level of evil you may face? Do you believe the First Amendment is a cornerstone of our country – and that it is on the verge of being nullified in a series of final (corporate) steps? If so, Stand Up Now – while your Voices can still be Heard.
