Critical Alchemy: Revolution

I have had a week that was so filled with vile spewed by so many angry, hateful people, that I literally spent two full days physically ill from mere contact.

Let me just say that I now fully, deeply and profoundly understand the meaning of that silly television show, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?". Believe me, the people that I encountered this week are certainly not smarter than a 5th grader.

Pitiful.

I could feel sorry for these people if they were not totally extracting vengeance from innocents and causing permanent damage.

I want to ask all the angry, manipulative, dishonest, hate-full people that I see in the world - what has happened to you?
Love and money - or, rather the lack of it - seems to be at the bottom of this particular debris heap.

"...when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait"

However, it is never too late to change.

In the spirit of change, the word, 'revolution' inspires me.

Revolution, evolution, devolution, reveal, revolve...the world keeps spinning, moving.....and so must the collection of life that populates it.

Come on, People!

Let's evolve...enough of the distortions, deceit, lies, hate, anger!

If we continue to be divided, we will certainly perish as ONE.

It is time for a revolution and it starts with one voice, one person, one step, one action.....replace anger with acceptance, hatred with love, selfishness with compassion, greed with generosity.

This revolution starts with me. I hope that you join.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know

We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
