April 5, 2018, Prescott-
The question was raised,
yesterday,
Will we see the likes
of MLK,
of RFK,
ever again?
I say yes,
and in droves.
There are glimmerings
of such people
arising.
They have much to learn,
yes,
but they are learning fast,
and will learn more,
even faster.
It’s been written,
that people are
at their best,
in a crisis
and at their worst
in a run-up to crisis.
What makes now
different from then,
is that ears
and hearts are open,
to, as the tv announcer
of my youth said,
opposing points of view
from responsible spokesmen.
White noise and blather
need not apply.
This may, indeed,
be known to history
as a Generation
of Founders.

I remember Martin Luther King’s death like it was yesterday. I had such optimism that the world would change. 😢

There were a lot more people who actually believed that money could turn things around, back then. I see that change has taken place, but not deeply enough to overcome deep-seated greed and fear.

There is a rising social conscience in the youth that are on the cusp of adulthood. I think it bodes well for our democracy!

I think they are more open-minded than the people on the left, in the’60’s.

Very well-written. ‘It’s been written, that people are at their best, in a crisis and at their worst in a run-up to crisis.’ Completely agree.
