A close mouth does not get fed

As we are bombarded with the “change” ticket, I wonder if people really believe in it. What is the purpose of this idea of “change” if no one believes in it? When did words like change, hope, peace and global warm (dare I say) become cliché.

People promote these words but use them loosely as things you tell your friends or relative when they are down and out. People just accept things the way they are. When did we become afraid to speak up?

It must have been after many great people who dared to speak that very scary word change. People like Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy; people who gave their lives speaking the very idea of change. Did they die in vein? They gave their lives so that in some way, the world or America, could change into a “real” democracy for everyone.

Maybe people don’t understand exactly what change means. Change is a very simple concept that begins in your thoughts. Most of the time it starts as a complaint. Then later, after it starts to bother you long enough, it becomes a problem. After a while the problem requires you to do something about it, which involves what…. CHANGE. Open your mouth.

My mom always told me “a close mouth does not get fed.” You can not complain if you do not do anything to change the situation. So many of you are fed up with things, or just want to do something different. Now is the time to speak up and say what you feel.
