They call us bloggers.
But we are much more than that. We are the conscience of the world. We are the voice of the powerless. We are the light in an age of darkness.
The politicians and profiteers and pundits ignored us. Then they laughed at us. Now they’re fighting us.
So be it.
We will not believe their lies. We will not worship their generals. We will not condone their war crimes. We are a global movement for justice and peace. Some of us live in North America, some of us live in Europe, some of us live in Asia, or Africa or South America. But being born in different lands no longer isolates believers in justice and peace from one another.
We’ve been on a long journey already and it’s far from over, but nothing worthwhile ever comes easy.
We shall overcome. Someday . . .
We shall live in peace. Someday . . .
Until that day comes, we will not be silent, we will not be afraid, we will not give up, we will never stop seeking a better world.
We are explorers of this new cyberspace world. We are pioneers on a new frontier. We are building communities that span oceans and continents. We are creating new forms of activism. We are expanding our influence. We are weary but our idealism sustains us. We argue but our debates strengthen us. We make mistakes but we learn from them.
We reach out to those in need because our hearts compel us to:
The suffering of those in poverty is not deserved, it’s the consequence of exploitation by the rich. War between nations is not the punishment of the evil by the good, it’s the punishment of the innocent by both sides. We condemn the war machine because it must be condemned:
We are tired of the madness:
We believe in the truth, and will speak it every day of our lives.
We believe in peace, and will work for it every day of our lives.
We believe in each other, we believe in the power of truth, we believe in the power of justice. We shall overcome, no matter what stands in our way.
This is our earth, it’s not owned by corporations, it belongs to every human being. It’s not a shooting gallery, it’s a garden of life. It’s not a garbage dump, it’s the cradle of humanity’s future.
That’s why we’re blogging the future here, with a little help from our friends:
Deep in my heart,
I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

thank you for putting it all in easy terms, lest we despair, become bent & broken from the lies, the injustice, the evil they are perpetrating on the world.
TRUTH is our weapon…the only one that can stop them.
Thank You.
But Darkness has had its day.
And we are helping the Light to return
resources, the land, the nature, the food, the water — all that is needed to live peacefully in our short experience here. What it does not provide us with is enough people of humility who have respect for it and all the peoples of the earth. The greed of a few destroys the peace of many, as shown throughout history.
Can we overcome? Only if the people of the world rise up and join in solidarity against oppression wherever it exists.
The U.N. has been an abysmal failure!
The world now has a focal point for people everywhere — a concentration on the crisis of global warming. When it becomes a serious effort by people the world over, it may also help in bringing about peace, while sustaining that which sustains us — the earth!
“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.” – Charles Dickens
May bloggers continue to shine light upon the darkness, exposing the hidden evils, until good men and women can no longer remain blind to the injustices-until they act to stop them.
We can now talk, and learn about our brothers and sisters world wide. When we understand what is needed, then we can help. I think it really is turning into the loving people of the Earth that can afford the internet, fighting the corupt powers that be. Then there are also our brothers and sisters that aren’t online, and are out in the fields and jungles facing guns. We do what we can, but those souls are putting their lives on the line.
May we have peace.
the word makes a lovely sound when spoken out loud
