When, in the course of a social phenomenon, leaders gather among themselves and attempt to marginalize the thoughts of the people, and deter their own minds from what is true—as if to do otherwise, their hearts would open to the cries of the people. Should they truly listen, and hear, as the speaker declares the hearts of the people—in the event of such a great revelation, shall the leader of greatness stand humbled in honor of the people’s voice—to hear and plea for more, as their heart mourns the times they listened with deaf ears—as they were too proud—losing their own heart to the wonderment of superiority, and the power that has been bestowed upon them by the people. Should a leader proclaim such humility, recognize the voice, and act upon the words with compassion to regain the trust of the people—so that the hearts of the people can begin to heal and hope for the future of our children. Should not one leader express such humbleness—then the wicked rule and men will run and hide, until right reappears. For now, not one of our great leaders have acted with such humility—to even dare oneself to act upon such request—would be more than what has been done thus far by all leaders combined.
The injustice continually endured by the people of lowliness must end—I will continue to face one calamity after another with fortitude, and will do so selflessly and with perseverance—to be victorious in the end. For those who strive with me, as I stand for righteousness, only reveal the truth, of which is that they attempt to hide what has been done wrong. Carefully, I seek the truth with great wisdom and might—strength that has been acquired from knowledge, and my deep love and respect for humankind, both young and old, friend and foe. Should my sympathetic words inspire our leaders to act upon their duties as to be the great leaders they profess—then I have pleased them with the words expressed and they shall be compelled to act immediately, as what I have shared with them today are not my sentiments alone—they are from the lowly person, of which our leaders rarely, if at all, allow themselves to see and hear. My heart is open to whomever finds me and seeks my words of comfort—as I offer words of hope and faith—it is only right to expect our great leaders to act upon the pleas of the people, which is to be heard, and if not, then they were never great leaders, and we will all suffer from their follies.
