Voices, can you hear them?
The desires of the masses are loud and clear, as though they are sirens in the night.
Sirens that light the darkness with ideas of acclimation and inevitable assimilation.
Assimilation of the minority, without concern of their vision and reports of things to come;
Such minority reports have been misconstrued, misunderstood, mistaken, or just discarded as if they had little or no worth in the big picture.
Voices
Are these auditory visions?
Visions that ask for little more understanding, a little more willingness to accept differences.
Differences – the little and big things that make us all similar in a peculiar way.
That peculiarity, or is it oddity, that we embrace as uniqueness but only if the majority approves.
Hasn’t the minority also departed from the expected and brought about positive change?
Absolutely. Positively.
But the voices only visualize changes that please the throng.
Voices
Are they the sound of change?
They rise from the dust after the parade has gone by and they’ve been waved off once again;
But this time they forge new paths based on history and build bridges on progress.
Those who embody the minority believe in change, even if they must make it within themselves.
These voices know that there are no two things alike.
Comparable, Maybe? But, never the same.
These are the voices of diversity, acceptance, and our future.
