PREFACE
In our world today, senile old men are seldom heard and the words of our adolescence often fall upon deaf ears. If true wisdom is mistaken as senility and the purity of the child is perceived as naive, whose words shall we hear? Will it be the later or the former? Shall we listen to the middle man? Often times when we are in search of the truth, we forget that everyone of us has a voice; everyone young and old has a piece of this puzzle that is the greater good. This higher form of good knows not the corruption nor the infidelity that goes on in today’s world. It is not formed from the lawmakers of today’s government in which we can no longer trust, for it seems everything can be bought in our society; even a man’s morals and values. So whom shall we trust, as a people who excel toward one common goal? Indeed, we can trust the people. We can trust ourselves. As the old are wise with experience and knowledge, and as the young are pure and speak truly from the heart; we may use these as tools of change. But whom shall use these tools? For the neither the old or the young are strong enough to carry such a message. A man who is willing will be the vessels of this gathered knowledge, he who understand both sides of the spectrum; and with the things he has seen and the voices he has heard will be a weapon fashioned be the greatest of smiths. His words cut sharp into the hearts of the people, His weapon so formidable that it may destroy this pseudo-democracy that reigns over our society. What makes his words different than anyone else’s? Because surely, he is just a man. For this is true, I know nothing compared to that of our elders, and my heart is blackened by time that I may not speak as do the hearts of my kindred. But I hear and I see and I understand. I am part of the people, I am a part of the puzzle. I am the people, I am the wielder of a weapon that will stand against injustice so that as a whole, the people will prevail. With it, I will stand against corruption and tear down the walls that capitalism and authoritarianism have created. Bonded by our fathers and our mothers who worked and fought for the rights of the people, this weapon that I wield is unbreakable. As part of it, I am unbreakable. With it, my words shall cut their way into history. With it, I shall bring about change.

I believe this "weapon" you refer to, we all carry.
Sometimes unknown to its bearer, but we all carry it. Although we all carry this weapon each of our weapons take a different form and we all use it differently.
Some people have the strength to pull their Excalibur out of its sheath of truth and use it in a might way for the whole world to see.
While some take out smaller weapons and fight for thruth one person at a time.
Who is more valuable?
Who changes the world more?

Also I must comment on your profile.
Why do you talk about yourself that way?
You are not "no one" you are someone.
To many people but most definitely to me.
When I look at you I see a time bomb.
I don't mean that in a negative sense but you have so much you are going to accomplish and I hope I still know you to watch the explosion.
Abraham Lincoln said, “The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.”
So don't worry about leaving your mark on the world Nehemiah Bolton because one morning you will wake up and see that you have and you might have left a mark in someones world and you don't even know it.
