I had a dream where it wasn’t bright, colorful, but a dream that we were losing our elders. We were losing the knowledge that was passed down from generations upon generation. The knowledge was the foundation of family, of love, of just common sense, and also a state of enlighten.
As a society can sing songs about sex and the club, but ask someone what the constitution is and what are some parts of it and they will not know.
We need to learn and grow… We need our men to be men, not pimps, and boys and we need our women to be the strong supports not hookers, and strippers.
Due to time good strong elders are fading, so we must go to them who are still among us, absorb everything they say and go out and become the new elders.
We need to teach our children how to be strong and also to show that we are strong and wise. We need to give them knowledge that goes beyond the rap videos, dancing, and greed.
We need to show them; teach them how to love, themselves and as well as others. How to show respect, earn respect, also how to uplift others as well as share what they have gained, and to grow from learning.
We need to teach from the top of Mt. Zion to the deepest depths of our soul. Let the children know how is it really to be a spirit in human form, to be wise, to be strong.
