people who have been oppressed
and persecuted
by the powers that be
people whose basic human rights are denied
whose lands and livelihoods
and sometimes lives
have been stolen
tell your stories
AND ALSO those of you who have been persecuted
in the more subtle ways
where you might have your material needs being met
but your self-esteem is destructively low
and you feel misunderstood
and alone
alienated
depressed
powerless
hopeless
ALL OF YOU
share your stories
share your stories with the young people of the world
(you who are yourself young will know how to reach them)
and ask these young people to talk with their grandparents on your behalf
but really
it's not just on your behalf
b/c the large majority of peoples
of all ages and backgrounds
in every 'corner' of the globe
are being hurt in ways that are different from each other
and yet
at the same time
similar
so
share your stories
widespread awareness is the first step
to widespread change
