A time to think
A time to analyse
A time to stand up for truth
A time to stand up to power
A time to make your presence felt
For how long will you get manipulated
agree, applaud, walk away with indoctrinated pride?
For how long will you believe
stories crafted to suit a purpose
not yours – but imposed on your thoughts?
A time to break through charisma
masks, insincere praise and appeasement
A time to find that one gem to support life
Truth – which the Maker wove in every piece
but forgot to give it a voice.
A time to be the Maker’s voice
and make existence worthwhile…..

Just now getting to this poem. You speak the truth, my friend.

REALLY REALLY enjoy what you did with the prompt! That one gem to support life: TRUTH! Not alternate facts….not looking with blinders on…..but seeing and speaking out and standing up. YES!
