To the Believers.

[freegeek]

There are people like me in this country
cynical of anything and anybody,
afraid to commit to an idea
unless tested and proven by humanity,
approved by their peers
and blessed by their idols with feet of clay.

And then there are the believers,
who wear their heart on their sleeve
unafraid of ridicule,
washed in their innocence,
the best friends you can have
or the worst enemies you can make.

At first glance we may all look alike
but its our choices that decide who we are.

The success of Anna Hazare
is not in the merit of the bill he supported
but the movement he created
releasing the believers among us
from the grasp of cynics.

The docile revolted, the brave supported,
the agendaized were made to step aside.
Now let the believers steamroll us,
eclipse us in their faith,
smother us in their enthusiasm.
we deserve no better
and our existence, no worse.
