they are yours to
When you look in the news or history and see monsters
they could be us
people live being a hair breath away from being a monster
and never know it
The woman who lets the new bf sodimise her child...for reasons as simple as a meal ticket to painful as disbelief
The Jews who knew the NAZI's were comeing, but did not flee becouse they were comfortable and it couldent happen to them...and what they heard was impossable
The Soldier who follows orders, who wrote the blank check of with his life
The onlooker who does not goto the aid of someone being killed...or even call the police
things such as this, may inspire us to make other mistakes to avoid repeting the same mistake
They are us
When you look in the mirror and do not see
What monster and greatness we are all a breath away from being
When you look in the Mirror ask your self this
Will I lead and choose my own path, rewards and burdons
Will I simply Follow and accapt what fate bestows
In both we are once blessed and thrice cursed
Psycholigy will often tell us we are the products of our enviroment
Priests will Often provide a path to live a moral life at the core if not in the details
A Con man can make nearly anyone a mark
Police knew that anyone can be the suspect, And its never the suspects fault
They are us
it is when we serve the bodys urges with out thought of why
and focus only on how
It is when we do not say the words
"Why am i doing this"
It is when we are adrift in social pressures
that we fail to graps onto our free will
Gandi, Martin Luther King jr,General Patton, Alexander of Macodina, Ben Franklin
Hitler,Rockafeller, Bill Gates,Al Copone, Saint Joan of Arc, Siddhartha Gautama. Albert Einstein.
These are people who chose there own path. All of them have endured hardship, risk, uncertany and faced peer rejection and demonizeing or peer idolization....and seldom anything inbetween
They are us
We can choose to live by there example
Not the one of the acts they did
But why they did them
By how they did them
They all choose there relation to the world in the acts they took
The details of there deeds are minor in this reflection
it is the Character of there personalty, soul and will
They May of Choose to act in there own way
They May of responded to a Calling
But they had the will to forge a path
Tho Many had fallen and may or may not of recovered in the end
Tho some lost there life with the risk they knowingly took the risk
They knew when to lead
And a good follower is also a good leader
choose your actions and inactions with care
sing a song for the greatness of people
cry a tear for those who died nameless
a moment of rage for the monsters before us
but remember reflection and temperance in all actions
