The Neverending War

Change the narrative of politics after your side wins. It is time shift the focus towards the future. What does that look like for us, and how do we get there? What are the outcomes from this election? What does the continued fight look like? Who is still standing? And who is still willing to fight?

We are not done just because Trump is gone. In fact, the real fight is just beginning! We flexed our powers and showed the establishment that we can force change if we want. Now let us hold the new ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES accountable for what they said… We must show them we will not tolerate lies from any president!

Joe promised a lot, and Kamala played some serious heart strings to win the necessary votes. The Dems have also shown us that they will bend the knee if we are loud enough with our demands of justice, equity, and our constitutional human rights to the pursuit of happiness. Now we must press forward and forge a path for those not able to fight! Let us continue lifting our voices and singing our thoughts as we repair ourselves from the battle of our lives.

The battle just won for our current well-being was brutal, indeed, but the next fight is one for our future! This will be the one to jump-start us out of a pandemic, and to prove that we do not quit when it is convenient. We were forced to choose between a lump of clay and an untamed fool. The clay won. Now we must find ways to make the clay useful.

Clay is extremely malleable, and must be molded to be of proper use for different situations. How should we mold future President and Vice President Biden and Harris first? What type of fire does that require? Who is stoking the flames? Who is doing the molding? Who is assisting? Think of these questions as your next moves are being talked through. And know that cooperation will come in handy if the fight gets too difficult a task for just you.

Unity is the greatest weapon in our arsenal. We must find a way to continue tipping every scale we set foot on! We must push agenda after agenda, or remove the corruption that is blocking us from securing freedom for our futures!

Fight on, family, friends, and partners. Fight on, and inspire those around you to continue standing their ground. Encourage your peers to keep up their energy because the oppressed haven’t stopped being oppressed yet! New politicians have come and gone, and people still drink poisoned water and cannot breathe when they encounter police. People still cannot marry who they want to marry without the government illegally employing their religious doctrines as sources. People still cannot climb out of debt that only exists to maintain class structures in a modern day that is working to eliminate them. People are still in cages for trying to escape almost certain death! And people are still struggling to feed their families when we have so much money that should be in circulation...

This fight is not over. It is never over. So you must get back up and take the mantle back. It is time to rise once again and walk the paths of torchbearers, teachers, prophets, healers, fighters and support. People are dying every day. Be blessed that you are alive to fight in their honor! Stand strong, warriors. This country, and the world, need you.

Sincerely,

Kenneth Cortez Reed II
