Today is MLK day, there are a few days I try to remember the great revolutionaries and activists that came before I was born and this is one of them.

To know why the world today is you must know the voices that protested against the world they lived in. You must know what was wrong and what has been done. You must know how they fought and how they won….or lost.  Each was looking to leave a mark, to right a wrong seeded deep in society or culture, to speak for those who have no voice.

In this day there are no revolutionary minds, only those content to complain. Those content to say “look at that, I wish it would stop. Im sure it will someday” When will my generation get a voice? A guiding hand to unite us with one idea. For our parents it was Lennon, for South America it was “Che,” for the civil rights movement is was King and for our fore fathers it was Pain.

I am not that voice…

But I will remain a soldier till the war is won
