I have a heart heavy with sorrow for all those that have poured out thier hearts on this site. It is too much for me to bear when i see that there is a way out. I want all the people who read this that are in pain to see that the way out is found in their own hearts.

My prayer is for each of you to see that it is time to lay down the gun, to lay down the allegiances to all false things and see that your real allegiance is to the human race, the world around you, to love. The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. just had his day recently and I pray that all of youcan see that this is the only way that things will ever get better. Nonviolence is the answer that you are looking for. Fire will never put out fire. I pray that you lay down your weapns and pick up the torch of freedom for all. Know that you will get the kind of government you deserve if you sit back and let others decide your future. Know that you will be responsible not just for your own fate but the fates of everyone else with each decision you make. There is a way. Why die for streets you don't own? >

Why be angry for things that you can make real changes in without death and blood that means nothing in the end? Why let this go on when you have the power to make it stop? There are things in the world you have never dreamed of yet and never will if you don't do something about it now. I pray that each of you reading this message can hear it with empty ears, no preconceived notions. Just listen and understand. The time is now.

There are so many other causes that need your energy, so many other things you could do with your life. Each of you contains the answer, each of you can make the change.I pray that each of you will hear this and each of you will do what you

are responsible for which is to make the difference now.
