WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE CONCRETE.

By Wilgeens "AfroLatino" Rosenberg

.

"The future is not a gift, it is an achievement. Every generation helps make its own future. This is the essential challenge of the present." Robert F. Kennedy. Arrogance, pride and ignorance has cost many the joy of victorious battle that could have easily been won with grace or settled with civil humility.

Thus ego is often the every element which causes one or many to never wish and learn to put aside their differences, their hatred and resentments to think outside the box and to march toward a common goal, "the" greater goal. As once a poster named JeMeSouviens once said "The overhauling of the national police force is the key to providing adequate security" to allow room for progression economically and socially to advance and grow. Haiti's economical future begins with a secure Haiti, Haiti's social success begins with a secure Haiti and lastly Haiti's political rest beings with a secure Haiti. Obama said "if one voice can change a room, it can change a city. And if it can a city, it can change a state,. And if can change a state, it can change a nation. Then if it can change a nation, then surely it can change the world. Then, let us go change the world people." Dear friends, let us go change Haiti.

What is and what I find to be more brainwashed for most Haitians is, the fact that they have giving in into the despair of hopelessness away from possibilities and passion for change from the hope they once had as a brave Nation they once were.

P.S: "At times peace is or can be a lie, but truly here is only passion and hope. So through one's dream and passion one gains strength, through strength and will one gains power, through power and persistence one gains victory and through victory one's chains are broken. Thus those are the Forces which and shall free thee." — The Sith Code.

"It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can." - Barack Obama.

As Haitians, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us" and other Nations knowing what we are capable of doing.

As Haitians "We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?" As Haitians we are the sons and daughters of former brave generations who looked oppression in the face and eradicated it.

So, "Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of" the beacon of freedom we represent "that is within us. It's not just in some of us,"

Perhaps we have forgotten our ways or even possibly in the verge and blink of losing it, but this glory, it is in every single one Haitian alive if we look deep enough. Therefore "And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson.
