Who Are Our Generation's Leaders

Terry Snipes's picture

When it comes to psychology, we (our... brethren) possess the qualities needed to propagandize the naysayers, not with manipulation, but with talent and an innate sense of persuasion. I know that when good, truthful words drop on this here Internet- make that the PLANET- they will persuade a lot of these backwards thinking ingrates to think wiser about the future of OUR earth's music, learning, politics and people. When a mama Turkey hears a certain cheep, cheep noise from her babies, she automatically nurses them. But if the babies don't make that sound, the mother will neglect and even kill their children. Can you imagine that? All from a sound? Our voice will be that sound that we, as a young generation, are lacking. That sound could, in fact, help us nurse our country to some sense of optimism about our future.

I have been burned by the memory of Malcolm X. I have not been burned in an invasive way, rather in a warmed way. When I see pictures of Minister Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz I realize that he was such an influential person. His mouth piece was off the page, on another paragraph contain in a different book. Though he didn't stand in the trenches the way, say, Martin Luther King, Jr. did, he still let the world feel his presence. He spoke with power that seemed to cause mountains to tremble.

This leaves me to wonder, where are our generations leaders? Oprah's getting old. So is Colin Powell, Nelson Mandela, Condoleezza Rice (I guess) and Mel Watt. Where are our Stevie Wonders, Al Greens, Marvin Gayes? Where are the influential people of our generation? What will happen to our kids and grandkids? They'll be mindless entertainment seeking freaks! Love all, peace and empathy.
