I sum up politics in three words:
wealth equals power.
we are expected to make lasting
changes in our communities,
and in our country itself.
but to do that,
we need power.
and the people in power
will always have more
wealth than we do,
which means that
the people in power
will always have more
power than we do.
they tell us that we are
the future leaders
of this country.
they tell us that as leaders,
we are expected to make
changes in our communities
and in our country itself,
but they tell us that
only because they
know that we can’t.
