In a blink. (Time)

Close my eyes to a light that shines so bright it blinds me. I see visions of love laughter and prosperity surrounding me. Plant my feet on the ground and feel the earth tremble and shake with the dancing feet of God's chosen generation walking in their authority. I see multitude of graduations that stem from realization. I hear song sung on a crisp winters air of troubled waters and far off destinations that reminds me of past dreams. I see youthful faces submerged in the wrinkles of hardship, struggles, and time.  I hear a still soft voice speak volumes in just two words. Its time. I open my eyes to the realization i was blinded by my own light. Its time. Time to let my light shine and illuminate the darkness in those around me. Time to begin standing for myself and stop drown the essence of who i am and whose i am so that others may feel equal to me. I am extraordinary and there is none like me. Its time. Time to stand for what is right no matter what the cost. Its time to live my life with purpose instead of going threw life in acceptance. I will not accept this world as it is. I will not accept that some children are not supposed to live. I will not accept cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney failure, sickness or death . I will not accept poverty, homelessness, rape, murder, child abuse or anything else that is not good in just in this world. I will not accept laziness, excuses, or procrastination. Because its time to look at my self see my flaws and fix them . its time to right wrong , heal the sick , give to the needy. Its time to change the world threw who i am and the influence i have.  But Its also time to allow you to understand Its not just my time but its yours.
