The generations before us have brought forth so much.

The chance to have a voice, to have a dream, and to have a right among those who operate on small minds.

Before us were those who stood up and demanded to be heard, demanded to be seen, and demanded to be taken seriously.

The world today has come so far because of those before us.

I cannot sit idly by and let my words be left unspoken.

I cannot let my wants and desires in life just be dreams left to wither away.

Those before us have paved the way for those of us who are tired of seeing people being mistreated because of their race, age, ****** orientation, or beliefs.

The world was not mean to be powered by hate and those before us made sure to set in motion the uprising for those who are tired of seeing destruction on every face.

What you do with your time here on earth is entirely up to you, but for me, I aspire to be amongst those before us.
